Daniel #3: Python in Nature * There’s a review article from Sept 2020 on array programming with NumPy in the research journal Nature. * For reference, in grad school we had a fancy paper on quantum entanglement that got rejected from Nature Communications, a sub-journal to Nature. Nature is hard to get into. * List of authors includes Travis Oliphant who started NumPy. Covers NumPy as the foundation, building up to specialized libraries like QuTiP for quantum computing. * If you search “Python” on their site, many papers come up. Interesting to see their take on publishing software work. Brian #4: Supercharging GitHub Actions with Job Summaries * From a tweet by Simon Willison * and an article: GH Actions job summaries * Also, Ned Batchelder is using it for Coverage reports * “You can now output and group custom Markdown content on the Actions run summary page.” * “Custom Markdown content can be used for a variety of creative purposes, such as: * Aggregating and displaying test results * Generating reports * Custom output independent of logs” * Coverage.py example: - name: "Create summary" run: | echo '### Total coverage: ${{ env.total }}%' >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY echo '[${{ env.url }}](${{ env.url }})' >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY Michael #5:Language Summit is write up out * via Itamar, by Alex Waygood * Python without the GIL: A talk by Sam Gross * Reaching a per-interpreter GIL: A talk by Eric Snow * The "Faster CPython" project: 3.12 and beyond: A talk by Mark Shannon * WebAssembly: Python in the browser and beyond: A talk by Christian Heimes * F-strings in the grammar: A talk by Pablo Galindo Salgado * Cinder Async Optimisations: A talk by Itamar Ostricher * The issue and PR backlog: A talk by Irit Katriel * The path forward for immortal objects: A talk by Eddie Elizondo and Eric Snow * Lightning talks, featuring short presentations by Carl Meyer, Thomas Wouters, Kevin Modzelewski, Samuel Colvin and Larry Hastings Daniel #6:AllSpice is Git for EEs * Software engineers have Git/SVN/Mercurial/etc * None of the other engineering disciplines (mechanical, electrical, optical, etc), have it nearly as good. Altium has their Vault and “365,” but there’s nothing with a Git-like UX. * Supports version history, diffs, all the things you expect. Even self-hosting and a Gov Cloud version. * “Bring your workflow to the 21st century, finally.” Extras Brian: * Will McGugan talks about Rich, Textual, and Textualize on Test & Code 188 * Also 3 other episodes since last week. (I have a backlog I’m working through.)
