It's midnight over here, which means around 3 am in Pittsburgh (yikes if you're reading this right now).

Did you know that there is an "open space" in the PyCon US Online Platform which will include a couple of talks from some of the attendees?

Yup. Even me... I'm even interrupting my preparation just to tell you that!

Check out the online app starting at 10:30 am (local time in Pittsburgh) to check it out!

I'm up third in case anyone's up for it! Join through Hubilo!

Okay, so you've seen the guides on what to do at PyCon.

But have you seen the guide for those of us that are not able to attend?

To combat the PyCon US FOMO, I treated myself to a trip to Rome to do Python research in the past at the Vatican Museums 🇻🇦
Here is what I found 🐍

Today at PyCon US lunch, for the first time I met other people IRL (two people) who also watched the kdrama The Glory on Netflix and that made me so happy 😊

@mariatta Lol, I would have been the third!

I think I may have caught it off your recommendation a while back.

Humbled and honored to be included with all these amazing people!

(Unfortunately, I won't be able to travel to Pittsburg after all, but I'm still on here to bask in all your PyCon related posts and to chat if you want!)

Not attending PyCon US and don't want to see all the social media posts about it? (I'll certainly be sharing some)

If you're on a Mastodon instance:

  1. look up the "filters" setting
  2. filter the phrase "PyCon" (no quotes)
  3. make sure not to check "whole word' (so and related phrases are filtered too)

@treyhunner would it help with my fomo? Probably.

Am I gonna do it? Not a chance!

This is a little hard to write, but sadly, I'll be missing PyCon US this year. Long story short: I hurt my knee. Still on crutches. Surgery likely...

I came close to hopping (literally) on a plane and heading out anyway, but it's probably not the wisest choice.

For those of you heading out, enjoy the conference, meet someone new, volunteer, and have fun!

Maybe I'll catch you at the next one!

pythonbynight,
@pythonbynight@fosstodon.org avatar

Thank you all who've responded, making it both harder that I'm not going (I'd love to see all of you), and grateful for your kind words.

I was holding off on deciding, hoping I could walk by now, but it was not to be. I'll hopefully catch up with you all in the not so distant future.

I'll miss being a booth fairy for sure, but there's always next year ... 🧚‍♂️

✨ One #Vivaldi gripe is that I can never remember how to rearrange the icons in my extension panel. They rarely change order, but every once in a while, I need to re-install an extension, and all ordering hell breaks loose.

Turns out, you have to hold down the ⌘ key, then click and drag on the extension icon before letting go of the ⌘ key and then your mouse button.

@webology TIL! This had been bugging me for a while... lol.

People who use reveal.js, do you end up duplicating slides with slight tweaks in order to get the effects you want sometimes?

It feels pretty hacky and inelegant, but much simpler than trying to code up what I want to see sometimes.

pythonbynight,
@pythonbynight@fosstodon.org avatar

@ehmatthes I do use copy/paste pretty liberally on a per-section basis.

I thought of adding jinja support, possibly using macros or something or another to alleviate this, but found that copy/pasting is not too bad in the long run...

What's a movie or tv show you think more people should see?

@jonafato I really enjoyed Girls5Eva way more than I thought I would. Occasionally bumpy, but before you know it, you're laughing at something else... and the music satire is on point... highly recommend!

I didn't think I would write over 1800 words about my hurt knee, but here we are.

If you're in the mood for something entirely NOT python related, moody, melancholy, and maybe a little entertaining... check out my latest post at Python By Night. 😅

I think we need to talk more explicitly about why we're settling on "safety" as the term we are pursuing. As a manager, I've been trying to reconcile that term with some of the real expectations and pressures of the workplace. I don't think we are doing enough to create clarity. And I worry instead that talking about "safety" is creating unrealistic expectations.

@glyph @polotek There's also the issue that sometimes these "estimates" are made by people up the management chain--themselves under some sort of pressure to pick a number/date from a hat--and then the team members that are then trying to fulfill a deadline that they had no say in to begin with.

pythonbynight,
@pythonbynight@fosstodon.org avatar

@polotek @glyph Yeah, totally agree. It's important, but sometimes difficult, to realize you're in a situation where management is insulated from accountability until the shit hits the fan and flows downward--but in general, there are ways to notice this ahead of time. And yes, I do agree on your larger points.

If you've ever found yourself missing the "good old days" of the , what is it that you miss? (Interpret "it" broadly: specific websites? types of activities? feelings? etc.) And approximately when were those good old days?

No wrong answers — I'm working on an article and wanted to get some outside thoughts.

@molly0xfff I liked "right click -> view source"... then open up notepad and try it myself...

I'm worn out and looking forward to a little time off before I start something I'm better at. 🙂

I am helping out by painstakingly proofing signage (I am cursed with a close eye for copy editing) and on top of this free headache my reward is noticing how many awesome posters/tutorials/talks/charlas/presentations there are going to be. Get stoked!!
