@pydanny @Google They've been doing this for months at least. Keywords like "python" are cheap and Google (and other search engines TBF) have been playing whack-a-mole with malvertisers.

Um @Google? "onetinresecret" is the first thing that comes up! And is sponsored. You are literally pushing malware onto your end users.

@garybernhardt Fundamentally, a lot of the Python docs were written for a different era. Back in the day, somebody might skim through a reference or start at the module index to find what they're looking for. Today, search is so good that asking Google always comes first.

@garybernhardt Overall, I think it would be a huge project to make the SEO of docs.python.org great but there's a lot of incremental steps that would help a lot. There's a lot of new content to write, long pages to break apart, and it needs way more examples.

Wow, the Python docs' SEO has really gone downhill. Searching Google for "python __eq__", the docs don't even show up on the first page. Ultimately this is Google's fault, but unfortunately Google has given up on its core product so responsibility falls on the Python docs.

@simonw @ahcastor There was one in a coffee shop by my house. I never saw anybody use it and the one time I tried to test it out, it wasn't working. I asked the staff one time about it and they said people definitely use it. I was surprised.

@ahcastor I still see the occasional sign for a Bitcoin ATM dotted around in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I always wonder how often they've been used in the past twelve months

That feeling when one of your publishers goes truly viral..

@simonw Mildly painful on our side. Took a few mintues to understand what was going on! Congrats on truly making it viral :)

@maxtortion I did not realize I was that close to losing. I basically only think of that card as a wizard finder...

Are you ever in a match, and as your opponent takes their turn, you're just daydreaming about what you're going to do when you untap?

@treyhunner After repeatedly typoing requests as "requestes", I created the requestes module to illustrate how easy it was (and still is) to execute untrusted code from the internet while installing packages. It was cited in the paper that coined the term "typosquatting".

Bragging time. Tell me about some #Python code you felt accomplished for having written.

@pydanny I see the ticket now. I'll take a look.

@pydanny I don't see the ticket yet, but when you file it, we should see it. I'm guessing that this is a Python/Django version issue. Django 4.1 requires Python 3.8+. Depending on the readthedocs config file, it might be using some old version of Python. docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/conf…

@readthedocs Hey! Is there any reason why Django 4.1.5 (or any Django 4x version) isn't available for a build?

MASSIVE LIFE UPDATE NEWS! We sold TapHunter, our software company 💰. After being CEO for 8 years and on the board the last 2 years it’s time for a new chapter🌎! A massive thank you to my co-founder, CTO and husband for an unforgettable journey. We did it babe♥️

@ipmb I put some thoughts in here: #issuecomment-1105787933" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/python/pythond… When you ask the question "how does str.strip work in python", something like w3schools answers that question better than the official docs. It can be done but it's a lot of work.

Remember the big push to improve MDN's search rankings against some of the lower quality sites in the results? We need that but for docs.python.org. 🐍

@webology @pauloxnet @djangocon @davidmgvaz @DjangoConEurope @treyhunner We may not be the best people to depend on for espresso. I don't think either of us drink coffee.

@pauloxnet @djangocon @davidmgvaz @DjangoConEurope I'm putting that on @treyhunner and @djfische's shoulders.

@cogentcrypto @againsthimself I think this pretty clearly illuminates the lag time between concept and production for bars

@againsthimself Ah fuck. I don't even have words for the emotions that I'm feeling right now. Why do you have to do me so bad, San Diego?

Making sure that @cogentcrypto gets to see this twitter.com/EaterSanDiego/…

@flynsarmy @readthedocs To be fair, RTD should probably wait to ask for these permissions until you want to build docs from a repository. However, to actually use the service, these permissions are necessary and no permissions (or even any account whatsoever) is needed to just read docs.

@flynsarmy @readthedocs When new commits are pushed to a branch related to a pull request and there are services (think CI services) that run against pull requests, these commits have a status (eg. CI running/pass/fail). RTD updates status when when showing documentation previews for PRs.

@readthedocs Wanted to sign up through GitHub so I could read some docs. This seems...excessive?
