Though I will admit that there are also NO OTHER REASONS for putting lazy imports in a context manager. It's just the backwards compatibility use case and no others. #python

I further contend that other than `contextlib.suppress`, there is no other situation where lazy imports in a context manager could be dangerous. #python

I think I should have used Cunningham's law instead of asking questions in this post: discuss.python.org/t/pep-810-expl… I suspect I would have gotten more people weighing in. #python

While I’ve hosted lightning talks at #PyConUS before, I’ve finally given one today! Enforce documentation coverage with `interrogate`! It’s got a cute logo 😍🦥 interrogate.readthedocs.io

Dear #pycon presenters. Here are my accessibility requests for next year. 1. No colorized code on black backgrounds. Blue or purple or gray is really hard to read. 2. Use large text please. I cannot read your regular terminal font. PLEASE.

Hey, do you know the @ThePSF is hiring for a full-time position called the Deputy CPython Developer in Residence? It's a special role where you'd work with me and the rest of the core team on directly shaping the future of #Python. Want to know more? lukasz.langa.pl/40b601fc-2b24-…

@moreati Which will be easier now that the CGPM has decided to eliminate leap seconds by 2035: #International_proposals_for_elimination_of_leap_seconds" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_seco…

@moreati Even better would be for timekeeping authorities to remove the concept entirely, since it is a "solution" to a non-problem in civil time. Would be cool if everyone dealing with datetimes got together and agreed to ignore any future leap seconds.

How can I prevent Leap Seconds from occurring? We are thinking of organizing a day of everybody who is against leap seconds to run west. This will hopefully have the effect of changing the rotation of the earth and eliminate the need of the leap second. techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/networking-…

@AdamChainz @BajoranEngineer Like, they're better than a for loop in your test *without* subtests, but if you want parameterized tests you should use `pytest.mark.parametrize` or some equivalent thing. Your reasons to not use subtest are the reasons I'd give for not using subtests *for parameterization*.

@AdamChainz @BajoranEngineer I am not sure that there's as much difference in our positions as you think, if I understand correctly. As I mention in my article, I don't really see subtests as a method for test parameterization.

I’m going to be writing a bunch of tests in a bunch of different ways today *cracks knuckles* - unittest -PyTest -factory boy -MagickMock - precommit perhaps? any other Python testing tools suggestions?

I tried looking for an labs at Harvard and MIT, but I am not seeing any researchers there doing work that seems like it would need research subjects.

@GregNuckols @EricTrexler Hey guys, I've been listening to your podcast for a while and I'm curious to know if you have any advice for someone interested in being in an exercise or diet study. I live in the Boston area so I feel like there should be many exercise depts. around.

A perfect illustration of why clinical trial registration needs an upgrade to a full #RegisteredReports model. @RegReports There are some logistical challenges, but they are solvable. The alternative is this👇 cc @eturnermd1

Long shot, but anyone with Android / Android Auto experience know what's going on here? stackoverflow.com/q/76297425/467… #android #auto #androidauto

Carter's has this shirt for kids, but I can't find an adult version anywhere. Trying to tell Amazon or a search engine that it's important that the shirt have all three colors (much less in a specific order) seems impossible.

One day I hope ML technology advances to the point that I can describe a shirt and find out if someone is selling something like it.

PEP 658 has finally landed on PyPI! Wheels uploaded as of about 15 minutes ago now have the appropriate information served from the simple APIs, and METADATA files available on files.pythonhosted.org.

This is great

@Blanchard_NMR This is exactly why I cut all power cables open before using them.

tl;dr: Protect your students, yourself, and your equipment: don’t buy shitty cheap cables. 5/5

Look closely and you can see why I’m furious about the existence of this power cable 1/
