<civodul>o/
<civodul>there was a Python change of behavior that made the headlines a couple of years ago but i can't find it
<civodul>i think it had to do with math functions
<civodul>does that ring a bell?
<civodul>found it: https://discuss.python.org/t/a-code-glitch-may-have-caused-errors-in-more-than-100-published-studies/2583
<civodul>hmm
<PurpleSym>Do we have a place to advertise Guix-related jobs? guix-devel/-help do not really seem appropriate. We’re preparing to look for a second developer working alongside myself (and eventually replacing me).
<civodul>hi PurpleSym, we don't have a dedicated place
<civodul>maybe guix-science?
<civodul>or the GuixHPC Twitter account? (that's currently mostly me, sometimes rekado)
<civodul>anyway, sounds like good news, and i suppose a relief for you :-)
<PurpleSym>Yeah, I we can try both. Thanks civodul 🙂
<PurpleSym>Not really a relief. I’d like to continue working on/with Guix, but life moves on, so …
<PurpleSym>(And getting 100% home office approved is not going to happen in German public service.)
<civodul>oh so you're leaving your current position?
<PurpleSym>civodul: Not immediately, but yes, in the long term, I will be forced to leave this city.
<civodul>PurpleSym: i see
<civodul>anyway, lemme know if/when you'd like me to publicize the job offer
<PurpleSym>Thanks again civodul, I will do that.
<rekado>civodul: did you see my comments on your draft blog post?
<civodul>rekado: i didn't, lemme check the IRC log
<civodul>found it
<civodul>rekado: i fixed the issues you reported, thanks!
<civodul>i'm publishing it now
<civodul>i've been willing to get it out for some time
