@breakthesystem Sometimes a banana is just a banana – but that time would not be it.

For your convenience, Python 3.8 is now available as an AUR package in Arch Linux. (Currently Python 3.8.0a3). #aur #python #arch

The Hollow Knight community is … dedicated. There is a 60 page well-structured Google docs document of detailed and well-founded theories regarding the new Silksong game – based on a ~2 minute trailer and a developer video. #hollowknight #silksong

@HerraBRE I heard Google Summer of Code provides minions!

A while back, @glasnt asked Twitter for features people would like to see in a conference/CfP system. I've put together a response für pretalx, showing which features are supported, which are planned, and how the community can help: https://pretalx.com/p/news/feature-requests-welcome/

@clue404 Seems like it would be tremendously easier to pull in regular intervals. Rebuilding the index page every couple of minutes shouldn't hurt all that much, I'd say.

@ninja @mathieu For a large variety of reasons, I'm not moving to Pipfile any time soon. Many of my environments rely on a setup.py, and I'm not willing to have separate workflows between the two of them.

@mathieu Huh, switching from virtualenvwrapper to pew seemed a lot of effort for the one missing feature I just solved in a one-line alias at first, but pew looks interesting enough to tempt me. Thanks for the tip, I think I'll look into it later!

Activate the virtualenv named like the root of your git repository (my current sensible venv naming scheme):

alias work='workon $(basename $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel))'

Haha, wow. Olivia Colman's Oscar acceptance fills my emotion needs for a month, at least. This is good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIXN4fi_6xE

Danke, das ist schnell auf mein System umgerüstet. ❤️

Heute ist so ein Tag, an dem ich so verpeilt bin, dass man mich an *nichts* ranlassen sollte.

Müde im Zug gesessen, unkonzentriert und unproduktiv gewesen, und erst nach, äh, geraumer Zeit gemerkt, dass extra dafür zu meinen Füßen eine Cola stand.
Dann: gemerkt, dass ich nen Einreichungsschluss verpasst hab. Zerknirschte Verpeilermail an die Orga geschrieben … mit "18" in der Mailadresse, wo ne "19" hingehört.

How the facebook mods are broken by their work: https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/25/18229714/cognizant-facebook-content-moderator-interviews-trauma-working-conditions-arizona

As the last schema.org release was in 2017, I'm a bit afraid on beating a dead horse by going with them …

Okay, so asking the Fediverse is asking for biased opinions, but here it goes: If you were to specify an API format for a service, would you choose to go with schema.org definitions/fields and JSON-LD?

Haha, Assignment Expressions will land in Python 3.8, but so far they're only in the changelog, not in the big "What's new" post. I was worried there for a sec!
Emily Morehouse (who authored the change) wrote a couple of days ago that she's in the process of finishing the docs, so all's well :)

@bkastl Und niemand annonciert attraktive Hackerspace!

The Tragedy of Systemd is a wonderful talk by Benno Rice, which I highly recommend to anybody with opinions on systemd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo

He talks about attitude regarding change, and contempt culture, and the ideas that made systemd happen. It's a very informed calm discussion of both systemd features and community development. It's once again confirmed my positive impression of the BSD communities. #systemd
