Lightning Talks
summary
A rapid sequence of demos and announcements shows concrete tricks and toys: a decorator-as-context-manager pattern using ParamSpec so a timing utility works both as @decorator and with statement; a Rust-backed JSON parser called partial JSON parsing (Jitter) that decodes incomplete/streamed OpenAI output in real time; a small utility pi-clean that removes .pyc and __pycache__ and integrates with tox; keyboard tips for a compose key mapping and using CapsLock as Control/Escape; a mining demo that brute‑forces hashes for leading‑zero difficulty.
