The zipper on my laptop bag broke.
I don't have the skills to fix it, so I wanted to get a new one.
All products I've seen so far only come in dark colors like black, gray. Very few of them come in brighter colors like pink or purple. When they do have it in the bright colors, they're clearly labeled as "for women", have less features, look more like handbags, and cost more (from $10-40$ more).

Client:
"We strictly follow PEP 8 to the extent that we use multiple linters in our CI and pre-commit, isort, autoformatting tools, etc."

Me:
Writes PR that fulfills all that as well as docstrings which conform to PEP 257 (one blank line between summary and detailed description). I'm a Python core developer, after all.

Same client:
"That's an overkill. Change requested: remove blank lines in multiline docstrings."

Really missed seeing my fishes after being away from home for almost 2 weeks. I counted each one of them, and happy to report that they're doing fine. 😊 The baby fishes have grown bigger since last time I saw them, they're no longer blurry blob on camera.

At PyCon US a friend showed me his camera for his cat so he could watch his cat while away, so maybe next time I'll get the same nanny cam too.

Scene of an aquarium, the camera moves from left to right and back to the left again. Many different fishes are seen swimming around. Green plants all over. Some baby fishes are swimming about.

I'm at in Pittsburgh and I have 10 copies of "Software Engineering for Data Scientists" to give away, thanks to O'Reilly. If you'd like one, stop me and say hi, or send me a message to meet up at the conference, and I'll set you up with a copy!

@CatherineNelson Wish I could have gotten a copy from you 🥲

I was feeling like I'd probably over-packed, but we've been in transit since Wednesday night, it's Friday morning and I'm in an airport hotel instead of my final destination and we still don't have a clear path to make it all the way there. Crew timeout, broken plane, hurricanes, car rental snafus. 😮‍💨

I've used probably 90% of what I packed and most of the surprise kid entertainment has been a hit. 🩵

Here's hoping we actually make it to his grandparents today, though!

@terri 🥺 hope you get to your destination soon.

I have a / “missed contact" question; I spoke to a Tammy who was at and PyCon US, and we talked about GitHub's contribution graph; if anyone knows who that is, can you put her in touch? Thanks!

Is there a record for the number of people in your household who has earned @beeware challenge coin?

Our family now has three "Yak Shaver" coins 😎
I'm probably eligible for the "Yak Herder" at the same time, but forgot to ask for it 😅

Yesterday with my family during PyCon US sprint, we made this tiny PR
https://github.com/beeware/beeware/pull/365

It uses my GitHub account because my 11 year old doesn't have one yet 😓

Folks are asking what's next for me after .

I'm trying to figure out how to actually get paid doing things I'm good at 🤑

I'm working on finalizing how "Mariatta as a Consulting Service" would look like, so stay tuned for news.

Meanwhile one way you can support me is by sponsoring me on GitHub.

https://github.com/sponsors/Mariatta/

Thanks to the 11 people who are currently already sponsoring me.

I'm still at the sprints and would be happy to chat more in person!

@mariatta@fosstodon.org avatar

@andy_warb That's still good, at least you're getting paid at all 😅 Currently I'm doing the things, and people continued asking for my help to do things, but I'm not getting paid

Kinda confused 😵 not sure if I'm still going home tonight?? As soon as I touched down at YYZ, I got multiple flight cancelled/delayed email notifications (and SMS, and Mobile app notifications).
🤷‍♀️
Sitting it all out while I'm snacking at Maple Leaf Lounge, I'll read it all later once they finalize it. I'm sure it will all work out. My travel insurance will cover whatever I need, so no worries.

I got a seat in airplane and I'm headed home for realz now.
Delayed by 90 minutes.
Was given $15 meal voucher.
Moved to a middle seat of an emergency row.
Eh, 🤷‍♀️ there are worse things in the world to complain about.

When will I learn 🥹 some things are too good to be true..
We've been on the runway for one hour now. Still told to hold on while they wait for maintenance crew.

I tried getting up to use the lavatory but was told to sit back down 😣 ( made it there on my second attempt 10 minutes later when no crew member around 🙈)

Now the flight crew are making a round giving free earbuds (normally costs $)

😮‍💨

@treyhunner@mastodon.social avatar

I decided to be #vegan for the week of #PyConUS 2024. I put little effort into this endeavor but I did think about it during each meal.

I'd like to share how it went, but first I'll note why I did this.

Since early 2020, I've been attempting to gradually reducing the animal suffering I cause (as much as I'm individually able to).

I focused one-by-one on small habit changes that had large impacts (e.g. I completely cut out chicken first). After ~2 years of this, I was #vegetarian.

mariatta,
@mariatta@fosstodon.org avatar

@treyhunner Not sure if you found this yet: Sree's Food about 10 minutes walk from the conference venue. They have Indian vegan and vegetarian dishes, kinda like a takeout counter, but tasty. They're only open for lunch though, so you can sneak out in case the onsite meal is not satisfactory for your needs. (I know it's probably conflict of interest that I said this but hey my job is done)
Anyway, just an option for next time.

Are there any videos for ? I saw a bunch of comments about the keynote and other talks about they seemed really interesting, but I can't find anything after the fact.

mariatta,
@mariatta@fosstodon.org avatar

@doctormo if you're registered you can watch it in the online platform. (In person registration gets access to the online platform too).
Otherwise videos are usually uploaded to YouTube a little later. (Last year it took 2 months after the conference)
