Now I know it is the fediverse and get ready to reside on mastodon. This post introduces myself.
I write code to crunch numbers. I like #python and the community, and enjoy seeing through the abstraction to the making of the circuit. I hope more and more people code for engineering and science in #taiwan and around the world, and would like to invite you to check out the events we hold with #sciwork: https://sciwork.dev .

Meanwhile in #Taiwan, I took the bus from LocalizedFileNames station. #Taoyuan #YouHadOneJob
The second week in spring. It will be about numpy, the first dip in arrays.

PyConUS 2023 schedule released and keynote speakers revealed!!! 🤩
I'm proud to present @willingc @dontusethsicode @mmitchell_ai @nedbat as our keynote speakers.
Don't miss special appearances by Python Steering Council and Guido van Rossum
https://us.pycon.org/2023/about/keynote-speakers/
And we have @ThePSF, @pyconasia, and many pycons around the world. They are great and let's do more of those!
It is such an honor to be elected as a @ThePSF fellow!

It took me a while to digest the news and realize what it means to my work. I am very grateful to be part of the #python community and recognized for what I like and care about!
When building PyCon Taiwan, we wanted it to be organized by the community for the community.

It is a great way to practice programming and we will continue to do it.

Curious about becoming a member of @ThePSF ?
@georgically and I prepared a new representation of the different role types.
Do you volunteer more than 60hours a year in the Python Ecosystem? Sing up!

This is important — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY.
There was also a 71% drop in air pollution.

很多事情都是當年有作就太好了。比如說照貓咪的時候靠近一點。比如說註冊 twitter 的時候選個字數少一點的 handle。

It’s certainly more interesting to reinvent the whole wagon than the wheels alone.
核融合 (fusion) 作到 energy breakeven 了！雖然很早就能在實驗室重現，但無法穩定輸出超過輸入的能量，只能當作「有趣的物理現象」。
如今實證可使能量輸出大於輸入，就有可能大幅增加人類可使用的能源。世界會變得完全不同！

PSA: If you want to attend #PyConUS2023, the travel grant is opened: https://us.pycon.org/2023/attend/travel-grants/
If you need more than $2000 for travel you can still apply and they will try to help case by case. Make sure you have communicated that to the committee.
It's not wrong to make a component reasonable. But users do not care about it, especially those who paid handsomely.
追求合理性沒有不對。只不過使用者沒有在管合理性。特別是花了大錢的那一批。
大學/研究生好像搞錯了一件事情！如果要評估自己技術上的實力，絕對不能和學生群體比較。直接以專業標準評估才有意義。
程式作業、報告以及論文，與實務能力的關聯性都不高。那些活動的主要功能是入門介紹，無法鍛鍊分析複雜問題的能力。
對稍微複雜一點的軟體來說，能寫程式的 AI 還沒有直接的用處。用戶不知道他們需要什麼，需求都是猜的。就算唸得出咒語，離真實的需求還是差了一大段。
另外不知道 AI 產生程式的能源消耗比肉身高還是低？

我這兩天遇到想報名某個研討會，但是在報名列表裡面找不到台灣的問題。這個 issue 我在七月的時候已經寫信給主辦單位，然後對方沒有回，這兩天看到報名截止倒數的通知信，有點不高興的付了比正常票價更少的費用然後隨便選了泰國報名（它是採建議售價但自由付費的機制，所以還可以用錢錢抗議），然後上推特 tag 主辦單位詢問他們是採用哪個列表。
因為推特上有朋友看到，開始幫忙 tag 可能有關係的人，tag 來 tag 去，主辦單位道歉但回覆他們採用的列表是 "official U.S. listing of Independent States in the World" 到這邊其實抱怨的心情已經減少很多了，而是我知道應該有別的列表可以用只是我不確定是哪個，這時候回想起之前 @clkao 寫了 iso 列表有關的文章，但我很慚愧地承認，因為我覺得這是開發者有關的事，所以沒有很仔細讀。
在這邊跟大家分享，如果你未來遇到可以參考：https://clkao.substack.com/p/how-dbt-labs-demonstrates-its-inclusive
議題就是如果你不夠關心，遲早會逮著機會遇到你。引一句 poga 的 toot：「所有的議題跟生活的根源都是政治」。
台灣還是自有房屋住起來比較舒服。
