So much activity at #JupyterCon 2025 -> tutorials 🧠, meetups 🤝, talks 🎤! Thankfully, Silas Santini captured some highlights and shared some valuable resources! Read "Themes of Day 1, JupyterCon 2025: Collaboration and Modularity" for details: bids.berkeley.edu/news/themes-...

Wow, it looks like deepnote does not understand that Jupyter is several repo and have many maintainers. It looks like they confuse "commits in one repo of one dev taking 6 month off" with "The full project has no-one working on it".

🚨 Practical URGENT tip for NSF grantees: Out of an abundance of caution, I would right now go into Research.gov and… 1. Download your NSF award letters. 2. Print PDF your annual reports. 3. Screenshot the status table for annual reports. NSF is planning maintenance tomorrow to Research.gov
Due to maintenance, Research.gov (including access to NSF-PAR, GRFP, PES, and ETAP) will be unavailable from Fri., 4/25 at 10:00 PM ET to Sat., 4/26 at 1:00 PM ET. NSF apologizes for any inconvenience.

And this, my friends, is the logic behind the new tariff policy of the United States of America. Zero trade balance with *each* trading partner.

Issue Areas Reciprocal Tariff Calculations
Reciprocal Tariff Calculations

Executive Summary

Reciprocal tariffs are calculated as the tariff rate necessary to balance bilateral trade deficits between the U.S. and each of our trading partners. This calculation assumes that persistent trade deficits are due to a combination of tariff and non-tariff factors that prevent trade from balancing. Tariffs work through direct reductions of imports.

Elon Musk's favorite supposed data expert, who he's retweeted at least a dozen times, claims she can only process 60,000 rows of data before her "hard drive overheats"
Tweet by @DataRepublican: "In my initial run, which processed the first 60,000 rows, I did not find these awards—my hard drive overheated long before I could complete a full pass through the database. In a later run, which I referenced in another post, I did identify two such awards. That discrepancy is a matter of sampling size, not an issue with the query itself.

I’ll now attempt a full run, which should capture the awards you found."

In the category "things programmers believe are easy" : A birth date can be in the future when you book a summer vacation train for a (yet unborn) baby. @groupe-sncf.com and @sncf-voyageurs.bsky.social Should probably fix that, as you need to "invent" a birthdate and name for you future child.

And to celebrate #InternationalWomen’sDay #IWD2025 (despite the appalling decision from Apple and Google to remove it from default calendar). #IPython 8.34 and 9.0.2 are out (about 24 years after the first release by @fdoperez.bsky.social ), with some important bugfixes in 9.0.0 and 9.0.1.

New release of IPython, 8.30 ; mostly cleanups and a few fixes. There is a high chance that the next one will be 9.0 (in 2025?), will remove a lot of deprecated APIs, drop support for Python 3.10; and generally remove a lot of side cruft that has accumulated in the the codebase.
