Starting my #PyConUS sprints with a walk along the river. I usually stay close to the hotel during the conference, and this is a nice transition into sprints. :)

I attended for the first time in 2012 through a travel grant. It’s so satisfying to see how much these support programs have grown!

Is there anyone at with a background in seismology?

I'm wondering if it's possible to recognize landslides from seismic data. If so, it would help identify exactly when some landslides in our community happened.

@CatherineNelson I’d love to hear your thoughts! What’s a good time to meet somewhere?

@CatherineNelson I'm at the documentation summit for a bit. Would 2:30 or 3:00 work?

@bckohan This is a fantastic suggestion! I'm really curious to dig further into seismic data and speak with the people who work with that data.

@godber @DrWendyRocks Thank you, I will reach out.

@webology My watch started repeatedly showing "incorrect password, wait 60 minutes" messages yesterday, without ever showing a password input screen.

Apparently it's a bug where it reads some surfaces as rapid password input attempts, and locks up. :/

if I were biden, I’d whip every single willing rep and senator into a full action plan to bring integrity to the supreme court, starting with the demand that judges whose households have documented partisan or ethics issues involving politicians must be recused from all decisions involving those leaders

I'll be talking about using Python to do real-time monitoring of landslide risk at 5:00, in Hall C.

If you're interested in weather, climate issues, citizen science, or anything related, please stop by. :)

My hotel window is about as dirty as any I've ever seen, but it does have a nice impressionist feel when it's raining.

I'm really looking forward to @simon's #PyConUS keynote this morning.

AI developments are hard to keep up with, and hearing Simon's thoughts is really helpful in making sense of where everything is headed.

If anyone at #pyconus wants some pretty decent ramen, yuzu kitchen is only about a 10-20 minute walk away (took me 10, but Google maps predicted it would take 15). But they don't mess around with their spicy wontons. Usually I love me some spicy food (give me that rooster sauce in my phô or chili oil in my nuoc mam), but when I ate the bok choy that came with the wontons I thought my throat was closing up (some other Pythonistas there last night might have heard my struggles)

@djotaku Thanks for sharing this, that's exactly what I was looking for!

Here's the open spaces board for today as of ~9:20am.

Edit: This is tomorrow's board. Jet lag made me think it's Saturday today. If you pass the board, please post a photo of the boards!

Boy howdy, I don't understand folks who willingly use a laptop all dang day when they have the opportunity to use actual peripherals.

This shit isn't just "not ergonomic", it is /anti/-ergonomic.

(Bonus points for “hotel desk/chair is designed for tall people” 😩 I guess I need a travel booster seat now, like a child at a family restaurant.)

(Or I need to take a page from some tweeps earlier today and simply stop bringing the laptop altogether.)

ehmatthes,
@ehmatthes@fosstodon.org avatar

@bitprophet @webology Every time I’ve tried to figure out ergonomics while traveling, I just fall back to getting whatever I can done on a laptop. I just can’t bring enough to make it actually comfortable.

Coming to #PyCon US? We're going to be there! Core team members @vossisboss and Scott Cranfill will be teaching a workshop on May 15 about making websites more accessible. There will be a poster from @vincesalvino and @thibaudcolas too. Come check it out!

We're working on organizing a Wagtail Open Space as well, so stay tuned here for the location and time! We'll let you know as soon as we sign up for a space.

@wagtail I'm curious which Django-related projects will have sprints. Thanks!
