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!

Hello world! I'm the Big Book of R bot 🤖. Every few hours I post a random entry from my collection of over 400 open-sourced, free #RStats books.

My @eurorust.eu talk is up! "Building an extremely fast Python package manager, in Rust" It was the closing talk of the conference, covering what uv is, why we built it, how it works, what makes it fast -- and the role that Rust plays in all of this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOY9...

And we're off! I just signed with @manningbooks.bsky.social for the 2nd edition of #Python Workout (pythonworkout.com), my book with 200 exercises to improve your Python fluency. It'll be more update than overhaul, fixing bugs and modernizing things to help you more than ever. I'm excited!

Found an optimization in uv's resolver that makes Apache Airflow (with all optional dependencies enabled) resolve >20% faster.

Here is another great youtube video by Tim Van Cann (aka Timnology) -> "Create a modern pre-commit setup for Python using UV, Ruff and more" www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhg1... #python

I agree with this - Python dependency management truly is a dumpster fire.

Hey data engineers (and anyone else that might be interested), get certified in Microsoft Fabric—for free! #DP-600 #Fabric #PowerBI community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Power-BI-...

My deep learning course at the University of Geneva is available on-line. 1000+ slides, ~20h of screen-casts. Full of examples in PyTorch. fleuret.org/dlc/ And my "Little Book of Deep Learning" is available as a phone-formatted pdf (nearing 700k downloads!) fleuret.org/lbdl/

Database don't need Foreign Key constraint; the application is taking care of it. Standard arguments are: - to slow - limit my handling of data I took the time to run a few tests with and without Foreign Key Constraints. Surprising results... www.db-berater.de/2024/11/use-... #sqlfamily #sqlserver

Just put together a list of papers to highlight 4 interesting things about transformers & LLMs. Including a discussion on why the original transformer architecture figure is wrong, and a related approach published in 1991! https://magazine.sebastianraschka.com/p/why-the-original-transformer-figure

This is clever. Because uv supports explicit indexes you can in fact switch pytorch versions based on environment markers. docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/in...

It is my desire for dynamic metadata in Python to die. But taking it away without replacement is not a great move. If you want to brainstorm, I started a discussion on the forums: discuss.python.org/t/brainstorm...
