All PyCon 2023 talks sorted by the view count

Why the meaningless &quot;+&quot; in &quot;+4k&quot; etc., instead of the &quot;&gt;4k&quot; that makes sense? Or &quot;4k+&quot;.<p>It&#x27;s interesting that number 1 has more than 5 times the views of number 2; must have been linked somewhere popular. Also interesting that at least two of the top 10 are about Rust or Rust libraries.<p>There are a lot more PyCons than just US and AU, too, some of which will have talks with a lot of views: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pycon.org&#x2F;#national-conferences" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pycon.org&#x2F;#national-conferences</a>

&gt; Keynote Speaker - Ned Batchelder<p>I don&#x27;t get why conferences do this. I understand that it is supposed to be an honor to be &quot;Keynote&quot; but it says literally nothing about what the talk is. I end up just skipping over these because I have no information on the topic of the talk.

I like to compare personal interests to the average.<p>I like the #96 talk by Michał Gałka about &quot;Creating USB gadgets with Python&quot; [1]<p>BTW I am tired of GIL discussions since two decades ago, so I skip everything that talks about it except if there is a solution. I think in Python more like a practical programming language that specific limitations in current implementations. Regarding GIL I think we have waste much more time talking about it than the time required for the solution.<p>I continue with my preferences list, all below #100 in the ranking:<p>The Samweli Mwakisambwe talk about &quot;Using Python and PyQgis to make cool maps&quot; [2] (#105) seems very interesting to play with maps when you don&#x27;t want to be an expert on them.<p>Jimmy Lai (#115), Python Linters at Scale (I work in cybersecurity) [3]<p>Gajendra Deshpande (#132) Three Musketeers: Sherlock Holmes, Mathematics and Python [4]<p>&quot;Code Review of Senior Python Engineers (#161) by Keith Yang [5].<p>Detecting Wireless Jammers and Hackers with JADE by Caner Kilinc [6].<p>Interactive Lectures and Active Learning with Python in Scientific by Jonas Lindemann [7].<p>[Gently] Chasing birds with code by Chayim Kirshen and Meir Shpilraien [8]<p>Charlas - Marlene Marchena: Mi viaje personal enseñando programación a alumnos neurodivergentes [9]<p>Débora Azevedo: Cooperación internacional en la comunidad de Python [10] [11]<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=34XnnAFO8O0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=34XnnAFO8O0</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=py93-Z8BUBY" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=py93-Z8BUBY</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ygZwfVKkpfk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ygZwfVKkpfk</a><p>[4] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=tyFFj1_lu_s" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=tyFFj1_lu_s</a><p>[5] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=A63CL3ogzpM" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=A63CL3ogzpM</a><p>[6] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Qjiq-4SXOyE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Qjiq-4SXOyE</a><p>[7] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=LaF5PrheDWQ" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=LaF5PrheDWQ</a><p>[8] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=BisOzixucPU" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=BisOzixucPU</a><p>[9] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=DmIKk1wGSvE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=DmIKk1wGSvE</a><p>[10] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=AMe1cPyJ4hE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=AMe1cPyJ4hE</a><p>[11] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=hEqH6Hv4NLk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=hEqH6Hv4NLk</a>

I was at PyCon AU (my first one and a wonderful time) and I&#x27;m surprised to see &quot;Digital Rights &#x2F; Digital Wrongs&quot; so far down the list! Possibly a relatively niche topic for the audience but I found it a gripping and massively informative watch, especially for anyone following the work of orgs like the EFF.
