I've started compiling python ecosystem statistics about metadata and tool popularity 🧵

All figures, captions and dataset descriptions are on https://blog.schuetze.link/python-ecosystem-statistics/

i was quite surprised to discover that no one had registered deleteduser [dot] com, and was curious to see how many emails i'd get if i registered it, assuming many orgs 'delete' logic probably just overwrote the email address with [email protected] or similar.

The answer, is at least 3 different orgs in the hour that I've owned that domain and been listening for email.

And yes, all of those emails contain the actual PII of the person who has been 'deleted' :-D

After just having responded to the third #curl security report for the evening I noticed a post that cheered me up...

Have a good Friday everyone!

My role has recently been been shifted as my team has deprioritised upstream linux kernel development and I am looking for a new role as a result.

Over the past couple of years I have been the top contributor to core memory management by patch count and lines of code changed, and the 2nd-top reviewer.

I also wrote a 1,300 page textbook on the linux kernel memory management subsystem - https://nostarch.com/linux-memory-manager

See https://ljs.io/kernel for a detailed list of what I've done, and https://ljs.io/cv.pdf for my up-to-date CV.

I have been heavily involved in the community, where I established the memory management maintainership model, and have given talks at Linux Plumbers, Kernel Recipes and the key memory management conference LSF/MM/BPF.

I have a proven track record of working very effectively upstream and can really help any company who has needs in this area.

If you are interested or know of any opportunities around linux kernel memory management, please reach out!

If politicians gave a shit about children, the schools would feature:

- HVAC systems that cleaned viruses out of the air
- at least two child psychologists on staff
- age-appropriate lessons to help children identify abuse
- funding for well-paid staff in numbers sufficient for a buddy system to reduce the chances of abuse
- arts education and after-school clubs to provide third spaces for kids
- massive, safe playgrounds
- protected biking and walking infrastructure from the school to residential neighborhoods

Instead we get “parents’ rights”, funding cuts, book bans, and car-centric infrastructure that kills pedestrians and bikers.

If social media is bad for kids, THEY NEED ALTERNATIVES.
