library-skills now supports uv workspaces and npm/Bun workspaces. ✨ Auto-repair and sync of skills. Improved support for .claude (additional to .agents), it will ask you interactively what to use. Plus several other bug fixes and improvements. library-skills.io

FastAPI can now serve your frontend app ✨ With support for client-side routing 😎 Great for React with TanStack Router, Astro static builds, Vite-based apps, etc. 🎉 FastAPI version 0.138.0 🔖 fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/fro...

the next version of Python is going to have a built in sampling profiler!!!! this is so exciting to see docs.python.org/3.15/library...

🌍 New paper on key challenges in spatial machine learning! We discuss six major topics shaping the field: model validation, performance metrics, uncertainty quantification, algorithmic diversity, software implementation, and modeling protocols. www.erdkunde.uni-bonn.de/article/view... #SpatialML

So, naive question about these campuses that pay OpenAI $13mil/yr. Why don’t they pour that money into a cluster running the strongest available open-weight model, with API and interactive options. And if the answer is “overhead,” why aren’t we collaborating?

I just need to test my website for page load times and 404s, etc. I'm sick of sketchy websites or overpriced apps. Here's a 100kb .html file you can throw on your domain and have it do all those checks for free. No paywalls or ads or nagging subscription reminders. github.com/asweigart/lo...

YAML deserves a defense! opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-05... The complaints are real but historical as they describe YAML 1.1, not the 1.2 spec that fixed them in 2009. The post traces the full history and introduces py-yaml12, a fast Rust-backed Python library for the modern spec. Hope you enjoy!

In Defense of YAML

A common refrain among developers: YAML is bad and TOML is good. This post argues otherwise, tracing the history of configuration formats, examining what YAML 1.2 actually fixed, and introducing py-ya...

maxhalford.github.io/blog/text-cl... This is a cool blog post about using compression.zstd in Python as a surprisingly effective (and fast!) simple text classifier.

Text classification with Python 3.14's zstd module

Python 3.14 introduced the compression.zstd module. It is a standard library implementation of Facebook’s Zstandard (Zstd) compression algorithm. It was developed a decade ago by Yann Collet, who hold...

the more uncomfortable corollary to this is that I think the days of humans _reading_ the code is also mostly gone. you're producing so much code now that a human reviewer is a massive bottleneck. IMO, you need to shift validation strategies massively towards tests and flagging high risk code.

Why is it that all modern apps with “feeds” like social media apps or even reading apps like Medium, Substack, etc. exhibit the anti pattern of refreshing and losing your spot if you switch away for even a minute? It’s absolutely infuriating.

"I have a decent fluency in LLMs, and they have utility, but the absurd degree of over-hype, the way they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value."
