Re - previous boost of toot from @gnutools - Guinevere Larsen points out that

"By only having the copyright assignment we are implicitly reducing the
pool of contributors to those that trust the FSF."

For what it's worth: I do not trust the FSF.

The VOD should be available for a few days. Might edit it to shorten out bits where I'm just slow / confused prior to uploading to Youtube.

I used today's clarity for writing a deprecation notice, which I think is a good use of it - it's important to communicate deprecations clearly! https://github.com/numba/numba/pull/9768

Looking forward to tomorrow's clarity now! 🙂

My Linux debugging tools are:

- GDB
- Binutils
- Valgrind

My Windows debugging tools seem to be (so far):

- WinDbg
- Ghidra
- BinDiff
- Application Verifier
- Dependency Walker

The Windows list may still need to grow, I’m not sure I have a valgrind replacement yet. Am I missing stuff?

It looks like I'm going to have to get good at WinDbg, having mostly used GDB in the past. Starting off with https://github.com/wangray/WinDBG-for-GDB-users - are there good starting points to know how to navigate through it?

Just made another "wrong button vim keypress" discovery - looks like if you press CTRL-t in insert mode, it indents the current line... I was trying to open a new tab in Firefox.

I just realised I've been learning vim this way for 25 years now, and it might be good to adopt a better learning strategy!

Getting an early request to Santa on my Christmas list: I’d like to be able to write the name of a Python dunder method in Slack without it stealing the underscores and italicising the text. If he’s feeling really generous I’d like backspace to be the inverse of pressing a key in PowerPoint in all cases.

Do you want a fun, informative introduction to @numba_jit? If so, Chapter 6 of @brohrer 's "How to Train Your Robot" provides a broad introduction to optimizing Python code in general, as well as a great explanation of how to get started using Numba!

I have a stack of tabs open with papers I want to read, which I've never got around to. I tell myself if I print them out I'll read them sometime... Although it feels the same as the fallacy that buying fitness equipment will automatically induce exercise.

CUDA 12.6 is out - the most interesting new feature to me, is stack canaries in device code.

I think it's interesting that there's use cases for this, and that the compiler decides whether to emit them based on a heuristic determination of the risk in each function.
