We (@marieroald and I) are hosting a hands-on tutorial on packaging #Python projects for the #PyLadies Oslo and Oslo Python meetup groups on May 8! https://www.meetup.com/oslo-python/events/307524818/
Packaging your code is an essential skill that empowers you to share your Python projects with the world, so come to the meetup and learn about it! It will take place at Bouvet's offices at Sørkedalsveien.

Microsoft Authenticator needs me to validate with Authenticator in order to log in with Authenticator to use it to authenticate another app with Authenticator.
Here is the app telling me to open itself to validate itself with itself.
Pretty far up the list of things I find terrible about Linux development is how emailed patches often have no clear machine-readably-specified commit they should apply to which is available in git - so it takes some manual effort to figure out how to locally apply them so that I can look at the entire codebase with the patches applied.
Looking at a complex patch series with just 3 lines of context would be a really bad idea...

Academic folks: what is the proper way to cite simultaneously submitted work in a paper that won't have a DOI, URL., etc at the camera-ready deadline?
Background... I have two papers, one a high level overview of a broad effort, another talking about our results in a specific subset of the overall problem space. The overview paper needs to cite the subset paper as part of a discussion of different attacks on the overall problem.
Both papers were accepted to the same conference; the overlap was cleared with the PC and approved.
The question is how to handle the mechanics of the citation when the second paper won't have been published by the time I need a final version of the first. Do I just include an incomplete citation (title/authors/conference) and rely on the proceedings editor to fix up the details before both go live?
I am not in need for a computer at the moment but I wanted to support 
@mntmnminute and their team a little, so I bought a hooded zipper [0] with a logo. It is cosy and looks nice. You can do the same to support open hardware projects.
