@northbaypython.org returns for its 7th year this Apr 25 & 26! Join us for a tech conference like no other, featuring barn cats, about the tech we build and the people we build it for.
We're a small local event with a global draw. If you've never been, come find out why 😁
northbaypython.org #NBPy
It's #NBPy week!
The feds (weather.gov) think it's going to be mild and sunny, and big tech (google) thinks it'll rain. Either way, we've got heaters and a beautiful setting and 18 talks about the tech we build & the people we build it for.
See you there? pretix.northbaypython.org/nbpy/nbpy-20...
Join our Executive Director, @eximious.bsky.social in Petaluma, CA, for @northbaypython.org on 4/26, where she addresses the er, cat in the room, "The Python Community Needs More Cats"–a talk on managing your time and attention. #python #community

incredible piece of writing closing the loop on that “law is/is not code” dogpile from last week.
fair warning: have a coffee first, because it *starts* at Foucault and proceeds from there
I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
you know what at this point i hope they do use my old slack messages as LLM fodder and end up with a lot of cursing and one PR that deletes prod

I was once catching up with a few people whose careers I respect to get some thoughts about what to do next and one of them said
"You know, your next thing doesn't have to be bigger than your last thing."
And it remains one of the most creatively freeing things I've ever heard.
everyone says video games and anime rot your brain until they realize the people raised on gundam and metal gear solid are the millenial core of the current antiwar movement

sure it's funny that Trump said the Pope is weak on nuclear weapons, but that doesn't make the Pope any less evil, and you don't have to say you think he's "woke" or you like him just because he isn't disagrees with Trump on some issues (but clearly not on others).
odontosyllis phosphorea! (i also just learned about them today)
they signal to each other with the light show; my mom saw someone’s IG reel and mentioned it while i was down in long beach having dinner with her so we drove out to the water after sunset and there they were
california may not get aurorae but at least we have glowing worms doing a mating dance in random lagoons
Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it; those who do study history are doomed to imagine future students of history getting to their period and going “oh ho ho ho fuck yeah”
making me think of Max Gladstone’s excellent Craft Sequence, tbh

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.
.@pflaquerre.bsky.social: my phone's usb-c port has decided it only likes one orientation for charging

Using your debt, your search history, and your private data to decide how much you’re worth? Hell no.
This is what happens when technology is built to serve profit instead of people.
This is why every worker needs a union.

Have given the border collie an anti anxiety medication because let's be real we're all going through it and may have overestimated the dosage somewhat because he's currently so high he forgot he has a butt
