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.)
I am speechless...

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

Yellow fields or dark green fields? 💛💚 These are the other two aerial embroidery landscapes that will be available on my site later - and I couldn't resist more oilseed fields! The right one started with the fun path shapes :) all here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a...
Congratulations! Great news for you and for us!

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).

Snippet from a WSJ article saying : At a Morgan Stanley conference this month, Brian Robins, finance chief for San Francisco-based software maker GitLab, said GitLab is aligned with the goals of DOGE, because the company’s software tools aim to help people do more with less. “What the Department of Government Efficiency is trying to do is what GitLab does,” Robins said.
Time to go away from Gitlab too, it seems...

Screenshot of a sample usage of pyobsplot, with the Python code and the resulting chart below.
pyobsplot 0.5.2 has just been released, with Observable Plot updated to 0.6.17.
pyobsplot is a #python package to use Observable Plot in #jupyter notebooks or #quarto documents.

I use it daily, it is super useful. Many thanks for your work.
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.

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.
Found this amazing publication from 1926 😱 in a pile of “old stuff” at a friend house - #dataviz 📊
Just published ddg2kagi, a very simple user script that allows to easily launch a duckduckgo or brave search with kagi.
Once installed, just press <alt+k> on a duckduckgo or Brave results page to launch the same query in kagi.

Nothing incredible and I'm clearly not a designer, but I've been quite happy to make a bit of #d3 again and to see that I still know a little about it.
🎺 I always like how modest our release notes and version numbers are. But here’s the quack 🐤🐤🐤.
