The SFMTA is happy to join San Francisco Pride celebrations when they return to in-person events this month as the city continues its recovery from the pandemic. This year’s theme is “Love will Keep Us Together.” The Trans March is happening on Friday, June 24 and the Pride Parade is on Sunday, June 26. SFMTA staff are, of course, an important part of the LGBTQIA+ community that keeps SF moving with Pride. Pride is an opportunity for us to demonstrate our continued support of the LGBTQIA+ community, promoting our core values of respect, inclusivity and integrity. 

History/Background of SF Pride  

San Francisco had its first Pride celebration in 1970. For more than three decades the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies have been moving San Francisco forward to become a better, safer, and more equitable world for the LGBTQIA+ community and the city a better place for people to live, work and enjoy.   

Historically, San Francisco's Pride parade is the largest in the country with more than a million people in attendance, usually including travelers from cities across the country and around the globe celebrating and paying homage to the members of the LGBTQ+ community.  

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion for All 

Pride is a celebration and counterpoint to the discrimination and challenges the LGBTQIA+ community has historically faced. And we can all be proud that San Francisco has been a pioneer on such issues as same-sex marriage, health care and anti-hate legislation. 

Recognizing the strides and achievements made by the LGBTQIA+ community over more than five decades, the SFMTA’s theme for 2022 is "Moving San Francisco with Pride.” As home to one of the world's largest and most prominent LGBTQIA+ communities, we look forward to celebrating Pride all month long.

Show HN: Interactive exercises for GNU grep, sed and awk https://ift.tt/OxeFwah

Show HN: Interactive exercises for GNU grep, sed and awk Hello! For the past few months, I've been using a Python framework called Textual to create TUI apps for interactive exercises. Released the app for GNU awk earlier today, so thought I'd create a post here. If you already know how to manage Python packages, you can use the following command to get all the three apps: pip install grepexercises sedexercises awkexercises `pipx` should also work, but I haven't tested it. The GitHub repo has the source code as well as more detailed installation instructions. You can use alternative CLI tools to solve these exercises as well. For example, Perl instead of GNU awk or ripgrep instead of GNU grep and so on. Hope you find these TUI apps useful. I'd highly appreciate your feedback. Happy learning :) https://ift.tt/Hp9kFEi August 17, 2023 at 05:13PM
