I build things. Keeping jQuery alive as the maintainer of Select2. #homeassistant #esphome #python #django #factorio are probably my most common tags.

For anyone still at looking for dinner plans, I think I'm going to head over to Bridges & Bourbon around 6 or 7. I ate there once, and would love to try something else.

I'm happy to eat alone after all this social time, and just as happy to spend another dinner sharing stories.

@ehmatthes Did you end up getting food already? Looking to get a group for Bakersfield.

@pyOpenSci Are you going to be sprinting tomorrow at PyCon US?

Is there a separate discord for the sprints?

kevin,
@kevin@brown-silva.social avatar

@offby1 Generally no, some individual projects have their own Discords or Matrix servers, but there isn't a unified one for all projects sprinting.

@ucodery Do you mind if I grab this picture and use it elsewhere for announcing sprint locations?

Starting to get warmer ☀️ hopefully the plants will stop breeding now, and my nose will stop running. I love spring and all, but months of mild hay-fever is really boring.

I’m sure I never had this when I was younger. (Maybe I just didn’t notice 🤔)

kevin,
@kevin@brown-silva.social avatar

@carlton In the US at least, they had a major shift in the past couple decades involving what kinds of trees were planted or replaced which has greatly exacerbated the problem.

Listening to @notjustbikes latest podcast episode, and he mentions the lack of a cap on the OV chipkaart system. This is a feature, not a bug. OV Chipkaart is so cheap you'd really have to try some to hit a cap the same as the day travel card products. By not having a cap it makes it all very simple. The further you go, the more you pay, and you can change between services as long as you do it within 35 mins. That's it. It's that simple. 1/n

kevin,
@kevin@brown-silva.social avatar

@quixoticgeek I haven't listened to the podcast yet but isn't the idea of fare capping to not penalize people who inadvertently do travel a lot in a single day who didn't realize or otherwise would have purchased a day pass? Essentially replacing what would otherwise be a dedicated pass product with fare capping that aligns with it.

kevin,
@kevin@brown-silva.social avatar

@quixoticgeek
Yeah that's honestly the weird part here, why even have day passes? Fare caps essentially replace day passes (or weekly, or monthly), so there's gotta be enough people already making use of those passes or someone would've removed them by now.

kevin,
@kevin@brown-silva.social avatar

@quixoticgeek
But they have to tap in and out anyway, no? I think it would make more sense if they just had it load $7 on the card (or whatever the day pass costs and daily cap is) and move on. Heck, you could even sell pre-loaded "visitor cards" with a certain amount already on them, somewhat like what you can do with Osyter cards already.

Also, big mood: "# type: ignore" is not the solution I want to turn to to get mypy happy with a Django project.

I had to use it a few times because I refused to use cast() to as a workaround for an explicit "type" that mypy disagreed with.

For typing to work and be useful in Python, we shouldn't have to have workarounds that only serve to make mypy not complain.

FWIW, using mypy helped me clean up 5 or 6 small things that were 💯 worth fixing. Then I had four or five that were not.

kevin,
@kevin@brown-silva.social avatar

@mpirnat @webology I feel like the odd one out here, the only times I've hit weird stuff with MyPy was trying to adapt it to an existing project. For new projects it's been largely painless (with the occasional generic stub issue). But I'm also largely dealing with CRUD APIs, so maybe I'm not hitting the scale required for the issues?

You may want to re-create this poll with a longer time limit (1-7 days) to give more people time to notice and respond to it.

    @steffo If you haven't done it already, I'd highly recommend following hashtags that you're interested in. That has dual benefits of letting you discover new things about your topics of interest as well as find new interesting people to follow.
