@hynek I wish I remembered to mention these packages in my talk 😛

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.
@itamarst I love this feature so much! I have an abstraction on top of `subprocess.run` that does
try:
return subprocess.run(..., check=True, capture_output=True, text=True)
except SubprocessError as exc:
exc.add_note(f"Stdout: {exc.stdout}")
exc.add_note(f"Stderr: {exc.stderr}")
Now my tracebacks have the error, output to the console by default, while the caller can use the return value's .stdout/stderr attributes.

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.)
