A modern Jupyter client for MacOS
Attached is a link to a macOS app Ui for Jupyter notebook. Looking at the screen shots (maybe they’re mockups, I can’t tell) it looks super useful and nice!
⏰ Modern datetime library for Python, written in Rust - ariebovenberg/whenever
Another python “improvement” by providing a Rustlang implementation of a python thing. My thought: “if we keep going down this path, python will become no more than a rustlang preprocessor”😊
A new way to publish a book to the web
Attached is an elegant new product (at least its prerelease documentation) to “publish a book” to the web. I believe it will be a single license software product that you get to deploy to a server, including a cloud server. There are of course numerous ways of doing this but 37signals.com’s stuff…
Beautiful, easy data visualization and storytelling
Flourish is a pretty amazing tool. Can’t wait to try it myself. Just click on the links and try it out.
Help listeners follow your show wherever they get their podcasts.
Attached is a really useful tool. Episodes.fm simply searches “all” podcasts, like a google for podcasts. It is really fast!
Ruff is an extremely fast, modern linter with a simple interface, making it straightforward to use. It also aims to be a drop-in replacement for other linting and formatting tools, like Pylint, isort, and Black. It's no surprise it's quickly becoming one of the most popular Python linters.
The linked article goes in depth about ruff. Everyone loves ruff. Ruff is written in rust. Everyone loves rust. I think that last part is weird. Rust is a cool and interesting language but it is also pretty low level. Sure, for the user, rust programs tend to be very fast. But for the programmer,…
Attached is a handy site for creating templates for boxes and other containers. There are numerous of these. But this one is pretty nicely done.
A complete library of resources that caters to all levels of Roboticists. - akshetP/robotics-resources
Attached another huge collection of resources relating to robotics. There are some other libraries like this. This makes it difficult when you are searching for one thing or another. Still I thought I would include this here because this is a goldmine!
The attached essay by Paul Graham gives his views on how someone can think about finding the right project to work on. Not a job but work that is their own. I love this quote: “What are you excessively curious about — curious to a degree that would bore most other people? That's what you're…
We make science and technology easy to understand.
Quick glance at this site gives me the impression that this is a plausible alternative Wikipedia for less exhaustive explanations for how stuff works.
A Single Threaded Owner (STO), is a single leader that is completely responsible for their area of the product. I share my experiences implementing this model, including the tradeoffs and challenges. And I give the nuts and bolts of how we implemented it and what we learned.
The attached article describes an org structure apparently originated at Amazon, called “single threaded owner” or STO. In a company with multiple products, one common setup is to have separate dev, pm and design groups each covering all products. STO says to have a separate, single manager for…
Ruby library based on astronomy and astrometry books - rhannequin/astronoby
This is for you #astronomy geeks out there. A package containing a bunch of technical algorithms used in astronomy. If you’re writing the next best solar eclipse automation app, this is for you!
Analyze how a Git repo grows over time.
Look at this interesting graph showing code “survival” over time. It reflects an almost too “textbook” pattern, with older code getting refactored out of existence. The chart comes from the tool linked here.
TEO is the schema-driven web server framework native to Rust, Node.js and Python. It reduces developing time and improves developers' life experience.
Wow a brand new web framework! Where did this spring from, apparently fully formed, out of nowhere? Or am I not hanging out in the right neighborhood? Take a look at the attached site!
piku, inspired by dokku, allows you do git push deployments to your own servers, no matter how small they are.
There are now several new and different ways for us to try and get back the magic of #heroku #git-push deployments. The attached link shows a new entrant that’s worth a look
Large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's GPT series have shown remarkable capabilities in generating fluent and coherent text in various domains. We compar
I often say that ideas are cheap. And by that I mean that everyone has a million decent ideas. The art/trick/skill is to know how to turn that one idea into something that people want, use, benefit from, and maybe are willing to pay for. That's why I don't often worry about "who had that idea…

Documentation and demos for the open source reveal.js HTML presentation framework.
Another tool that maybe useful to you. It changes markdown into html/css/js. Still looking. But you might find this useful
Marp (also known as the Markdown Presentation Ecosystem) provides an intuitive experience for creating beautiful slide decks. You only have to focus on writing your story in a Markdown document.
Another tool to turn markdown into html and css. This is FYI. So far I am still looking.
