My #PyBeach talk went well! Here are the slides.
The Real ID Act is such bureaucratic theater that I'm tempted to start a 501(c)(3) religious org for address verification services.
Form synagogue with UPS Store address, Lambda generates certificates, DMV accepts as "proof of residence", surplus to GiveWell.
Churches already do this for homeless folks, proving the system never verified "residence" - just mail delivery.
Spite-driven bureaucratic arbitrage for good?
Hi folks! Is anyone in #PyConUS interested in getting dinner tonight? I'm currently flying in, and should be checked into my hotel (near the conference center) around 6pm or 7pm. Feel free to reach out via DM or any of the ways listed in https://cobordism.com if this sounds interesting.
Josh SchneiderReally excited that I get to be amongst friends this afternoon after lunch, introducing @AlSweigart and @moshez talks! #PyOhio #PyOhio2024
If you're talking about how to do DEI, try to avoid spending most of the time talking about how people "look like". There are tons of marginalized community that are invisible -- neurodivergence, some (not all, of course) LGBT people, people of minority religions, and more.

Standard disclaimer: I am employed by Anthropic, but I do not speak for my employer.
I've been thinking about this for a while -- the model of "the industrial revolution", "the digital revolution", etc. has struck me as micro-slicing a single revolution. I finally wrote it down: https://rants.orbifold.xyz/three-revolutions.html
(This should go without saying, but while I'm employed by Anthropic, I do not speak for my employer.)
My dream: a conference that allows (not forces! allows!) you to present by joining a virtual meeting and presenting. No more HDMI/USB-C doohickies.
Being a programmer means you can say "I had a really productive week, I added a pair of parentheses to a configuration file" and people take you seriously.
In other news, I added the parentheses and things should be working again.
