 All right, it's Python on hardware time. Yeah Okay, so first Yes, I yeah, I'm doing this one first. Sorry Python on hardware, then I'm gonna skip back. I apologize. No, it's okay I cuz it so there's a lot of Python stuff. I know I know. Yeah, sorry No, it's fine. I went out of order. So this is a little snapshot of the newsletter A little bit of reminder big news for circuit Python. It's a sneaky date. It's circuit Python day and it's 8 6 2021 it's a Friday. Yep, and at 8 a fruit. There is no There's no public holidays in August. So we decided it's a day off for our team It's a front off float holiday if they want, but we'll have at 1 p.m. So far on Friday. It's gonna be a Catney Jeff Dan at 3 p.m. You're gonna do a board tour Scott's gonna do a deep dive and then we're gonna add some more circuit Python folks throughout the day Yeah, and then we'll have some things for people to do. So if you have a circuit Python project It's a great time to show it off come by the discord. You want to contribute you want to have a bug fixed Do you want to test out the laser leases? Yeah And everything's recorded so you don't have to worry about miss and I can always watch it later, okay Scott was on the Talk Python to me live stream. This was with Damian founder of micro Python Scott's Python and Check it out. Really good. Listen Mike Kenny is an excellent Podcaster and you can hear all sorts of things that have happened with micro Python and circuit Python and I Got through most of it. I have to still listen to the last bits, but I thought it was interesting about how Both Damian and Scott come it. I think this like Python experience at two different ways, but you could tell how well it's mashed and merged together now especially with How we're doing things with our sensors and how we're doing things with peripherals and how there's this like really powerful Python thing This virtual machine that Damian made so I thought it was neat to kind of watch them. It's good to them together and Talk about how a lot of these things work 7.00 alpha 4 a lot of stuff is changing in 7 but it was a lot of good fixes as well I mean we're just cramming 7 full of so many updates and fixes. It's going to be a very big update Yeah, but also a very good update. There's a new beta. You can check that out It's one of the editors that people like to use on some newsletter statistics. I'll talk about that in a second and then The Python art which I'm gonna skip back to there's a lot of neat things you can do with Python like like making keyboards with it or doing art with it or Robotics yet making games or you know, you name it you could probably do it with Python right now And so that's why we're excited about all things going on in the world of Python and hardware So this this newsletter. Yeah, don't forget the district of Python day But this newsletter is pretty popular and I wanted to go over some stats. Oh, yeah, we have this we have the stats report Yeah, so we were trying to figure out we kind of knew things were still going okay But we were just trying to figure that out. So I'll just give you the high-level stuff So we're almost up to 9,000 subscribers. Please consider joining at Adaford daily. We don't spam How should you have to pay zero? It's free. We don't spam. We don't do weirdo tracking. We're we don't I was reading a Person's blog that I that I like and they were like online commerce is terrible because you go to a website And now you're signed up for newsletter. Nothing ever works out Computers are like their fans start spinning because there's so many frameworks and things loading in and I'm just like wow Like we did I think a really good job with our newsletter because we keep it separate from the store experience So anyways, we're almost up to 9,000 subscribers year-over-year growth We did the quarterly thing 12% quarter one 10% quarter two so far You know it gets a little bit harder, but this is a lot of people for a newsletter. That's kind of hard to sign up for We don't go out of our way and this is people that are interested So we'll see we want to get to like about 10,000. We think that's that's where it'll it'll be in a good spot But please send in the content and consider subscribing to the Python of hardware news and then Five point four million dollars. What's that all about? What do you think this? What do you think this bought? A version galactic flight. I don't know. No it bought an MFT of The First internet this is the code for the double double source code for the World Wide Web Can he squirrels through all the code? Yeah, so Tim Berners-Lee goes through this code and This was sold for this is not crypto. You could I guess they could have paid in crypto But it was four point five point four million and before everyone freaks out This is what he said. I'm not selling the source code I'm selling a picture that I made with a Python program that I wrote myself Hey, that's why it's in the Python hardware section and I'm saying that this might be the most expensive Python program ever made five point four million and you get a copy of this and you can go to this other Beside and just see exactly that's one of the things about these NFTs. I said For five point four million you should throw in a next box where it was actually developed So anyways, that's the that's the Python hardware news all of us can endeavor to sell a Python program for five point four million dollars You just have to invent the World Wide Web And that's Python hardware. Thank you Blinka
