Last week the Python package "Ultralytics" suffered a supply-chain attack on its build and release process. This is a review of the attack from @pypi.org's perspective.

There's plenty of advice for how Python projects can increase their #security posture:

When we discussed string interning earlier, we mentioned a concept #Go uses to implement its unique map feature: the “weak pointer”. Discover more about GoLang in the last Phuong Le post ➡️

Weak Pointers in Go: Why They Matter Now
Through the weak package, you can create these special pointers that automatically become nil when their target memory gets collected. While they’re a bit trickier to use than regular pointers, they’r...

🌱 My ultimate goal is to bring my #hydroponics #garden back to a setup similar to this (it all started from #cilantro for tacos)!

I’m especially hopeful that the #onions and #celery will thrive this time around. And I’ve got big hopes for the 🥦 -- it’s my first time growing it! 🌱

🌱 Speaking of my #hydroponics #garden, I dug up some photos from a couple of years ago of my very first indoor setup! I repurposed my laundry room, building the system right on top of the washer and dryer. It was a humble start, but such a rewarding journey to see it come to life! 🌱

I just started planting #seeds for my #hydroponics garden! This time, I’m growing cilantro, parsley, #basil, dill, onions, salad bowl lettuce, broccoli, and celery. I decided to skip #sorrel for now. It’s my first time trying #broccoli, and I’m giving #lettuce, onions, and celery another shot.

I think it’s time to revive 🌱 my #indoor #hydroponics #garden! Last month, I had to step back when the parsley and #basil fell ill, but the sorrel thrived, producing an incredible harvest of lush leaves. Sadly, #KubeCon'24 timing wasn’t kind to these green friends too 🌿 #gardening #plants
