I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

Today, we’re announcing the preview release of ty, an extremely fast type checker and language server for Python, written in Rust.
In early testing, it's 10x, 50x, even 100x faster than existing type checkers. (We've seen >600x speed-ups over Mypy in some real-world projects.)

If you have a browser that supports WebGPU (like Google Chrome) you try out the DeepSeek-R1 model based on Qwen2.5-Math-1.5B directly in your browser!

My biggest advice is to avoid WHATWG-based URL parsers if you're not a web browser: RFC 3986 is the way to go for applications. In that line of thinking, rfc3986, yarl, urllib3.util.parse_url(), etc are fine. I wouldn't recommend urllib.parse over any of the above because it's been tainted by WHATWG

It's easy to lose sight of the fact that, from a tech perspective, we're absolutely living in the future. Our CEO and co-founder @apenwarr.ca looks at just how powerful our modern machines are — and what that means for all of us
Living in the future, by the numbers
Instead of making the traditional New Year predictions, let’s talk instead about the beautiful technological future we live in: the one that exists right now but we don’t always notice.

I love the Fish shell writeup on their Rewrite-it-in-Rust journey. It's really nuanced: there's some good, some bad, some introspection on their own mistakes.
But most importantly: they did it! 2604 commits over ~two years of work across > 200 authors. Ship ship ship!
