Super stoked to see this. For the areas where autoconf is necessary, it is NECESSARY and it's great to see it moving forward again.

Christ, some of the long-term core contributors to Python can be dicks. I'm feeling my respect for some of them erode with every word.

This is amazing. S3 now has read-after-write consistency.

Make it a damn sight easier _not_ to.

It was bound to happen, and is unsurprising, but I'm still sad to see #PyCon2021 needs to be virtual for the safety and health of the #Python community.

We isolate now
So when we gather again
No one is missing

You would think that a group of people who claim to be deeply interested in the history of their shared passion would have a collective memory longer than a mayfly with regards to controversies that have dogged them.

You would be _wrong_, but you'd certainly think so.

I miss "wanting to read".

I have not picked up a book for pleasure in months, and since March I've only finished ... 2 novels? I am mentally not in a place for narrative.

If you like the cover art, good, your eyes are working.

If the rest of the magazine is anywhere near as good as that, then it's worth a read.

I'm looking at the hellscape that is "Buying an HDMI 2.1 cable online" and would love some advice, twitterverse. I need a 6 foot / 2m HDMI 2.1 cable. What's a trustworthy brand / store?

Bracing myself for the long drive. It was a great two weeks, though.

I love the way we summarize events. This is basically bang on in its description of the incident.

I'm also learning from my Facebook neighborhood groups -- remember, a VERY white, very affluent neighborhood here -- that "urbanist" is basically a slur on a par with "Liberal"

It's interesting how they think.

Maybe, and just work with me a bit here, if you need to worry about vandalism of your statue WHEN YOU ERECT IT, you might want to reconsider who you're celebrating?
