@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsI wish #mypy would slow down with adding new features to mypyc, and instead focused on fixing the train wreck that mypyc is right now (since 2023 at least). Like, if your code crashes hard with assertions enabled, then it's broken, period. Ignoring proper testing and shoving the issue under the carpet doesn't make it right.

@cdarwin@c.imThere are always good reasons to head over to the Ojai Music Festival (OMF) come early June, for avowed fans of contemporary and modern music
— modern as in, say, from Stravinsky’s 1913 Rite of Spring forward.
More general-purpose, musically curious types are also welcome, especially on more populist programs such as the Rhiannon Giddens–directed 2023 fest.
