My latest video class with Pearson officially came out this week, and I am thrilled to announce that all the code in the class is (finally!) available. github.com/jambonrose/python… Thanks you for your patience to all those who watched the previews of the class without the code!
@levelsio I paid for nomads.com/ on Jan 3, but when I try to login I am asked to pay again. How can I resolve this?

The US Government has made an ad about its response to the pandemic, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. 🇺🇸

If you hold views like this emailer, please stop using Django and delete it from your system.
Technology is inherently political. We choose to support a better future rather than the appalling status quo. I'm happy to put my name to that rather than hiding behind anonymity.
Speaking just for myself:
1. You’re a coward, take ownership of your abhorrent beliefs.
2. I’m glad it made you uncomfortable. Hopefully you’ll reflect on why
3. Our statement was the DSF’s most liked tweet EVER. The community does not support your views
4. #BlackLivesMattter

Boosting for other timezones. If you’ve got any interest at all in Python on Windows, or improving the ability of Python code to interact with Windows system libraries, please let Microsoft know - even if it’s just a 👍 on the ticket.
If you would like to see better BeeWare support on Windows (and Python support generally), let Microsoft know. They’ve apparently shuttered their Python language projection due to “lack of community interest”

It is done - Django 3.1 will have async views! Thanks to everyone who's helped out with this.
Many thanks to @andrewgodwin 🏆🌟🎉 for adding support for async views, middleware, and tests to #Django 3⃣.1⃣ 🦄#async 🔥 github.com/django/django/com…
Friends: the French press is reporting that anti-inflammatory drugs (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc) are linked to complications with COVID-19. Recommendation: use paracetamol (aka: acetaminophen/Tylenol) as a fever reducer instead. Source: lefigaro.fr/sciences/coronav…
Disclosure: I am not a doctor! However, I have not seen this publicized in the US press yet and want to get the word out.
Here's the Guardian's article (in English) on the subject: theguardian.com/world/2020/m…

I have a very close friend who’s a researcher studying public health at a major NGO, and he told me that this was THE week to practice as much social distancing as possible, even if you don’t have to go to work.
I asked him to explain why. Sharing his answers w/ permission (1/x)

“The problem with prepping is that I buy all this Ben and Jerry’s, then I’m anxious so I eat it, and then I have to go get more Ben and Jerry’s in order to be prepared and the cycle starts again”
Rather than continue to sit on it, I have released the existing code for my class: github.com/jambonrose/python… Updated async material and additional Celery code on the way!
I am working on updating the code to my latest Python course. I hope to have it updated by the end of February, at which point I will open the repo on Github. Thank you all for your patience!
I cancelled my trip to #DjangoCon at the last-minute this year due to work. Wishing everyone there a fantastic conference, and I hope to be back again next year.
Suggestion for @AmericanAir : if you delay a 6 AM flight until 1 PM, and you recommend that passengers remain in the airport "in case of earlier departure", said passengers should be offered complimentary lounge access.

This is my #ZeroDay #PublicDisclosure of a security vulnerability impacting 4+ Million of @zoom_us's users who have the Zoom Client installed on Mac.
Zoom had 90-days + two weeks to resolve this #vulnerability and failed to do so.

TIL using ```html+django ... ``` around a code sample in a GitHub issue correctly syntax-highlights the contents as a Django (or Jinja2) template github.com/simonw/datasette/…
