OK, I really need to get to work but the morning news scan resulted in this, which made me think 'I wish I could snuggle a giant python who voluntarily curled up on me while I slept' so there's that
(also can confirm that if dalmatian were to notice snakearoo, bloodshed would likely follow and the snake would be fine)

The PSF have enough reputation with me personally that I'm not concerned.
If you have the opportunity to steal a couple of million from the Barrons and in turn offer them basically nothing. then that is *good actually*
It would be useful to scrutinise the text of the agreement as that is where the legal traps are that would force the PSF to do silly things that harm the community.
i.e. Take their money and damn their eyes.
An update to the above that saddens me to my core:
Well, fuck. I guess the PSF is willing to compromise their principles for $1.5 million after all.

I have been looking for a programming language for simple (cross platform) CLI tools for a long time. Professionally I use #Java, which I accept now as the safest choice for serious enterprise stuff. I have tried #Typescript but after a long stint I have decided to say goodbye to the Javacript ecosystem for anything but Frontend. Now on #Go and #Rust, leaning towards the latter. I won’t consider #Python (sorry). I could just use Java for everything. Anyone want to weigh in?
hello! chris is on vacation (no new website yet), but apparently time waits for no conference, and it's time for us to ask you what you want to talk about!

So … I have been busy contributing to this
tldr: real-time #telegram archive of the Russian War against Ukraine.
It’s 100% built with Claude Code in a bit more than 2 months
it’s near 200.000 lines of #python code, without counting with documentation of course.

Happy to announce that our #JOSS paper on #MotilA is now published 😊
MotilA is an #OpenSource #Python pipeline for quantifying microglial fine-process motility in 3D/4D in vivo multiphoton #imaging data. It is specifically designed for reproducible, batch-scale analysis.
The paper describes the methodology, implementation, and scope of the software:

After a year since last time, I got back to playing with our digital-collections RDF exports and writing about it -- this time, aggregating some descriptions from id.loc and Wikidata. It was fun.
https://blogs.uoregon.edu/digitallibraryservices/2025/12/22/od2-rdf-02/
I believe we still have a fair bit of work and cleanup before we'd expose the data publicly. Maybe that's what I'll write about next year...

I got nerd-sniped by some friends...
I am feeling somewhat better now, but this is the outcome: https://github.com/BjarniRunar/Pipe - easy shell-like pipes of unix utilities, in #Python!
Example:
from pipe import *
sh.uname | sh.grep('Linux') | sh.Check
(Raises an exception if not on Linux... assuming it runs at all).
sentencex - by Wikimedia:
https://github.com/wikimedia/sentencex
A sentence segmentation library with wide language support optimized for speed and utility.
Written in #Rust.
Bindings are available for #Python, #NodeJS and #WASM
Might be useful for my #SpeechToText system! 👀
