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.)

Apparently someone made a video about pyobsplot and its use in a Marimo notebook:

New released pyobsplot version should now work on Marimo notebooks (and other pyodide based environments).

pyobsplot is a Python package allowing to create plots with Observable Plots with a syntax close to the JavaScript one.

It's quite sad how many early internet open protocols are slowly dying because companies are incentivized to lock in their users.

I love these! Such a variety of forms achievable with just small parameter tweaks.

Today I learnt about GOOD, a web search engine based in Germany which claims to be privacy friendly and to use an independent search index (the same as Brave).

Far from as featureful as Kagi, but results seem ok. It is based on an affordable subscription model (2 euros per month).

For Severance (and custom visualization 📊 fans): @giammaria.bsky.social re-created part of the macrodata refinement (severance.wiki/macrodata_re...) UI in Vega. An impressive demonstration of what you can do in Vega.

We’re building a new static type checker for Python, from scratch, in Rust.

From a technical perspective, it’s probably our most ambitious project yet. We’re about 800 PRs deep!

To "celebrate" the inauguration I've donated money to Planned Parenthood, Translifeline and The Trevor Project. The next few years are going to be chaotic so I'll be striving to ignore the things outside my control while doing my best to support the communities that I can help.

Released juv v0.3.0! 🎉

Brings uv's locking for standalone scripts to Jupyter notebooks. Lockfiles are embedded directly in metadata for self-contained, reproducible notebooks.

- `juv lock` generates a lockfile
- `juv tree` shows dependencies
- `juv export` outputs pip-compatible format

TIL about juv, a tool which allows to add inline dependencies to jupyter notebook and run them in jupyter lab with a one line command.

Extremely useful.
related: juv v0.2.28 is out! now with windows support and `juv remove` to remove deps from PEP 723 inline metadata.

thanks to a new contributor for making it happen! 🎉

Just a regular reminder: the ArcticDEM is one of the most beautiful spatial datasets out there. I've been working on a large tile set for our #arctic abrupt thaw mapping activities recently and I can't help but stop and take a peek as the data rolls in.

Just published ddg2kagi, a very simple user script that allows to easily launch a duckduckgo or brave search with kagi.

Once installed, just press on a duckduckgo or Brave results page to launch the same query in kagi.
