Today, we’re announcing the preview release of ty, an extremely fast type checker and language server for Python, written in Rust.
In early testing, it's 10x, 50x, even 100x faster than existing type checkers. (We've seen >600x speed-ups over Mypy in some real-world projects.)

turns out that python's list creation shorthand for duplicating elements (e.g. x = [obj] * n) does not make the instances of obj distinct in memory! TIL.

I still genuinely think this is the best thing I have produced in my entire life so highly recommend a listen if you like things I do generally.
I gave an interview to Al Jazeera on the Supreme Court judgment, and the surrounding context. I think it's possibly the best thing I've ever done (?) so give it a listen.

An important reminder as the Supreme Court makes its judgement - not a single trans person was heard from at any point during this case before them, even a trans judge who applied was refused.
This is, as usual, the British state acting as cis people to impose their will on trans people.

idk if this is a neurodivergent thing, but having a low-volume audiobed with some kind of background music can really help me stay in long meetings when i'm remote.
