This week, the #Python Software Foundation rejected a $1.5MM NSF grant, due to a requirement that the PSF abandon diversity work.

So I joined forces with Python folks (@offby1, @petrillic, @amethyst) and we're matching up to $12,000 of donations to the PSF. 🧵

A comic on the bridge from Star Trek the Next Generation. Picard: COMMANDER DATA, PLEASE IDENTIFY THAT ROMULAN VESSEL. Data: THAT'S A GREAT IDEA CAPTAIN! IDENTIFYING A VESSEL IS A GREAT PLACE TO START - IN ANY TACTICAL OR STRATEGIC OUTER SPACE SITUATION. THIS VESSEL APPEARS TO BE A 23rd CENTURY KLINGON BIRD OF PREY! 🚀🦅✨ Picard: ARE YOU SURE? LIKE I SAID WE'RE... PRETTY SURE IT'S ROMULAN. Data: ... Data: OF COURSE! SO SORRY ABOUT THAT, YOU'RE RIGHT! ON CLOSER EXAMINATION IT'S A ROMULAN VESSEL! CAN I RECOMMEND SOME SOONG™ BRAND PRODUCTS THAT CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT? Picard cradles his face in his hand in a gesture of frustration. Data: DID I MENTION THE PLIGHT OF OPRESSED WHITES IN SOUTH AFRICA?

This should be the easiest boycott ever and if you can’t even satisfy this baseline level of solidarity then you have no right to question why we are all now under the gun.

Thanks to months of consistent contributions by

This unlocks the same in aiohttp!

Ilya Sutskever, ex-OpenAI, gets $2b funding not to release anything until he has ‘super intelligence’ Ex-OpenAI cofounder Ilya Sutskever’s new startup Safe Superintelligence just closed another funding round. For $2 billion, Sutskever promises not to release any product at all until SSI has develop…

Let it be known that I too will accept $2 billion in funding on the promise that I will not release anything until I have created God.

It is either very funny or very depressing that I’ve now been trained to seek a second source for online queries as innocuous as ‘when is my local coffee shop open til today’. I’ve been conditioned to not trust Google’s first answer. Great stuff.

sys._getframe should probably have a pure python default that uses an exception and tb_frame

But I think tb_frame is just as unmandated (and for practically the same reasons) so I think this compat function is indeed redundant

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure PyPy does have this function. Python 2 doesn't have `__traceback__` though

This isn't a python 2 thing

Like doing things without OOP/types/ABCs/discord/FastAPI or server sockets and just glue code around requests and keyboard etc?

Think of the herd immunity and the extra load on the healthcare service

A lot slower! try/except is zero cost when no exception is raised

suppress is slower and will unintentionally catch ExceptionGroups

Fuck this.

@mcuban.bsky.social What is the right way to pursue legal action against this

Yeah, it's both unnecessary and misleading
