It seems that this change also broke "Read With Kindle", I cannot get the book I wanted on my device after a good hour of waiting for sync to catch up.
@xgranade@glyph even in the specific context of PyCon US at that venue there's plenty of nuance. I didn't realize that the sheltered terrace on the rooftop had some access to power until I had already left, but dedicating some of that space to sprints or open spaces up there could be pretty awesome and definitely a compromise for the people who find masks annoying.
Most of the pushback I've seen has been from a crowd who just… seem upset that the rule exists. Haven't heard a lot of nuance.
Here's one thing I don't like about how software people write documentation:
If A is a type of X and B is a type of X, there's a preference to separate X into its own definition elsewhere (like deduplicating code by putting it in a function). But this means the explanation of A or B is incomplete, because you have to click to learn what X is. If X is a type of Y, now you have to click again to figure out Y. You just wanted to learn what B was, but now you have to learn everything.
Was chatting about #YokoKanno at dinner one PyCon evening (pretty sure with @davidism) and it struck me today (as my “anime OP/ED" playlist was playing) that we never brought up one of my favorite Kanno works, the #TurnAGundam soundtrack.
Especially the main theme, "Moon”, whose vocal performance is credited to one Gabriela Robin…eventually revealed to be a pseudonym of Kanno herself! Turns out she can compose /and/ sing (and how.)
@bitprophet yea, I'm familiar with the texture of "oh man that's a lot"
Turn A sounds good and 08th MS Team also seems like it would appeal to me. I saw some of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing many moons ago and enjoyed it, but I was very much in "wow cool robot" mode about it (not that the bits I saw had all that much to say about war or anything else)
@ehmatthes if it's for the sake of other developers, I would probably often put this in a CONTRIBUTING file or other dev docs. If a project had documentation dedicated to design summary/etc. that might also make sense.
@nedbat@ludob I sat in on a conversation where the talk came up, and one of the things mentioned was how delightful Ben's art is and what it added to the talk 😸
