Since we have seen a few positive tests from #PyConUS and it’s very easy to get base-rate brain around this stuff, despite being asymptomatic I popped out to the drug store to get a few COVID tests just in case. Happy to report that I am testing negative at this point.
#PyConUS aftermath. Heaven help me, I'm reading Tufte.
PS. The super interesting thing is that I had to go to four different floors to get these: Arts & Recreation, Social Sciences & Philosophy, Science & Technology, and Business & Economics. Polymath territory, for sure.
almost home, always looking at this drawing my son did for me before my departure
missing him so bad
I decided to be #vegan for the week of #PyConUS 2024. I put little effort into this endeavor but I did think about it during each meal.
I'd like to share how it went, but first I'll note why I did this.
Since early 2020, I've been attempting to gradually reducing the animal suffering I cause (as much as I'm individually able to).
I focused one-by-one on small habit changes that had large impacts (e.g. I completely cut out chicken first). After ~2 years of this, I was #vegetarian.
Probably long overdue, but after my (great) experience at #pyconus I decided to become a PSF member today. If you value something, support it. The default fee is $99 USD, but they recently created a sliding scale to make it more accessible across the world.
Flask-Mail 0.10 released, after a 10 year hiatus! Thanks to @wlach for picking it up at the #PyConUS sprint. This is part of my Pallets-Eco initiative to get old popular extensions maintained again. It's been unarchived and refreshed. I went through and closed out a lot of the issue backlog. We'll have to figure out what a 1.0 release will look like. https://github.com/pallets-eco/flask-mail/releases/tag/0.10.0 #Python #Flask
For anyone still at #pyconus - I have no idea how much longer they'll be there but there are quite a few rapid tests and KN95s in a box in the PyCon office (306/307) if you need them before you head out. There are also a bunch of lost and found items including a keyboard and multiple chargers. (And my water bottle, yay!)
OH "The bigger issue is that due to relativity a second is actually shorter on Mars, so your time zone....." #pyconus
