I’ve been playing around with https://nono.sh/ , which adds a proxy to the sandbox piece to keep credentials out of the agent’s scope. It’s a little worrisome that everyone is playing catch up on this front and many of the

I'm also a long time conda user and have recently switched to pixi ( https://pixi.sh/ ), which gives a very similar experience for conda packages (and uses uv under the hood if you want to mix dependencies from pypi). It

I've added fasthtml (and its dependencies) to conda-forge, so it's available in conda/mamba now.

I use numba quite a bit at work and it's fantastic. I recently, however, did a comparison between numba, cython, pythran and rust (ndarray) for a toy problem, and it yielded some interesting results: https://github.com/

Another relatively new addition to the python statistical sampler space is Austin[1], that has a lot of similar features to py-spy. I haven't made a direct comparison yet between the two. [1] https://github.com/P403n1x8

It looks like Github, after some push back across various forums, reverted the change and the network graph is back.

I'm actively looking for alternatives since I found this to be a super useful feature in terms of seeing the state of a repository and the relationship between active branches. I've seen https://gitup.co/ , but it

First class multi-dimensional arrays with natural indexing syntax would be a huge draw. You get that in Numpy, Julia, Fortran and it is extremely powerful in terms of expressing the types of operations that are common across many scientific

Conda is 100% free and open source, but is developed by Continuum, which is a company (but one that contributes heavily to many of the key components of the open-source pydata/scipy ecosystem, and whose CEO basically created numpy&#x2F

The actual package distribution/management (it is also a replacement for virtualenv) is conda ( http://conda.pydata.org/ ). Since it can be confusing, the difference between conda, anaconda and miniconda is described her

You should also check out https://conda-forge.github.io/ , which is building high quality, community curated conda packages for a lot of stuff that isn't available from the main Continuum channel.

While I still think it a bit unfair, the exact quote is "...but to a first approximation, no one is using it". So I think (assuming fijal's numbers of 0.5-1% are roughly correct) it is not completely unreasonable to say that

I tried looking on the Moore Foundation website and the grant wasn't listed yet. Here's one to Numfocus though from last year: https://www.moore.org/grantee-detail?granteeId=2114

I'll echo @dagw's comments. Cython has been rock solid for me for a long time and it is my go to for any sort of external c/c++ library interfacing. That said, I find myself using Numba more and more in the places that I can

Could you point to a link about how to seamlessly plug Julia into the jvm? I haven't seen any documentation or examples.

Julia also adopted this syntax, and I'm not sure if I like it. In numpy at least, I find myself doing element-wise multiplication much more frequently than matrix multiplication, so '.*' always feels clumsy. I'd rather h

I remember there being talk of eventually being able to call Julia from within Python. I've also been quite happy using Numba as an alternative to Cython for some things when I need speed. It's a lot more light-weight with less bo

Another suggestion would be for Github to offer more generous academic accounts. Currently it looks like they offer free micro accounts (5 private repos) for students, but I think scientists would be more apt to use Github if they offered u

Although I would say in academia I've seen a rapid expansion of Python as both a Matlab replacement and for doing non-HPC work, at least in the field I work in (computational chemistry and biomolecular simulation).
