  1. So, I’m going to be in northern Spain on Aug 12 for the total solar , my first. 🤩 Can any random eclipse glasses from Amazon do or are there more reputable sources for them? I don’t want to be a statistic on Google’s “why do my eyes hurt” search map. (I use Kagi anyway but still.)

  2. Any scikit-image fans in Vienna? The team would like to meet in Vienna for a code sprint Aug 14-16 ahead of EuroSciPy. We'd super appreciate it if someone's workplace can host us! All we need is electricity, natural light, and (most important) walking distance to coffee. ☕️😂🙏

  3. Reminder: @numba is an *excellent* accelerator for numeric computations in Python. Also, issues with Python's stability are greatly exaggerated. Case in point: I just ran my 8yo n-body benchmarks without modification:

    github.com/jni/nbody-numba

    and they were just 10% slower than the fastest C code — and that's including all the Python launch time and JIT warmup!

  4. @ocefpaf I don’t know if repodata patching is *the* best feature of , but it sure is a contender.

  5. Excellent job opportunity: community developer at Earthmover PBC:

    github.com/pydata/xarray/discu

    US-only 😞, but remote available 😊. And the Earthmover folks are awesome!

  6. As academic jobs in Australia go, this one is pretty good: Microscopy Platform Applications Specialist at UniMelb Biological Optical Microscopy Platform.

    The BOMP team is very nice, and continuing positions are really hard to find in Oz right now. (I do not have one.) Advertised at Academic Level A (geared at someone recently out of PhD).
