Thanks for the clarification! I'm sure your team is already aware but Windows users perceive support as native binaries (no WSL) that can run in a normal environment (no Git Bash or Linux utilities).

I won't be able to fully test because the interactive prompt gates on the user having an advanced subscription (I already pay $40 a month) which for now doesn't seem to be worth it. However, the TUI as shown in a post [0] by one o

I shared the author's frustration when figuring out how to ship such binaries to end users so I wrote a guide [0] detailing exactly how to do it. Apple's documentation is surprisingly poor and I couldn't find any blog posts s

If an agreement can't be reached with your new employer are you certain that folks at Microsoft will continue maintaining this library? I'd like to experiment with it but have trepidation regarding future development.

The naming of this project is quite unfortunate as it resembles the Simplex [1] specification for guiding agent development, which does look promising in comparison. [1]: https://github.com/thinkwright/simplex

The post is entirely authentic; it matches the writing style of the author from before the LLM boom and discusses work that the human author recently released. Can you pinpoint what makes you feel that way? edit: I asked for explanation bef

Your C extension guide looks very useful and I quite like the foreword/history behind it. Have you considered updating the resource to account for the freethreaded mode (which will eventually become the default) on 3.14+?

This is awesome, thanks a lot! I'm going to introduce this in the test suites of the extension modules I maintain [0][1] and, if all goes well, eventually at work [2]. I really appreciate the support for Windows as that platform is cur

> pip could implement parallel downloads, global caching, and metadata-only resolution tomorrow. It doesn’t, largely because backwards compatibility with fifteen years of edge cases takes precedence. pip is simply difficult to maintain.

This release wouldn’t have been possible without Cary, our new co-maintainer. He picked up my unfinished workspaces branch and made it production-ready, added SBOM support to Hatchling, and landed a bunch of PRs from contributors! My motiva

Here's an example of Gemini 2.5 Pro hallucinating, which happens so much that I don't trust it https://gemini.google.com/share/99a1be550763

The sentiment in this thread surprises me a great deal. For me, Gemini 2.5 Pro is markedly worse than GPT-5 Thinking along every axis of hallucinations, rigidity in its self-assured correctness and sycophancy. Claude Opus used to be margina

The Jellyfin metadata would certainly be a fit but what about streaming video content i.e. sequential reads of large files with random access?

For those who are unaware, there is another project [1] that tracks upstream which adds support for various codecs like Zstandard. Many folks (such as myself) opt to install their releases instead. [1]: https://github.com/mc

macOS I found to be particularly challenging to support because of insufficient Apple documentation, so hopefully this helps folks.

The effort is slower then what one would desire because we are all volunteers.

Workspaces is unblocked now, it depended on a large refactor which has now been merged: https://github.com/pypa/hatch/pull/1602 In my free time, it's the only thing I'm working on!

I think you're thinking of UV, this is a project that they adopted. As far as I understand UV is where development is happening and actually Rye is soft deprecated.

Very interesting; I'm quite excited for these future performance improvements! In small-medium sized projects the time isn't very noticeable but larger projects definitely are noticeable in CI. edit: I should say for larger test s
