    Don't forget BLIS itself!

    It's a muddy comparison given that NumPy is commonly used with other BLAS implementations, which the author even lists, but doesn't properly address. Anaconda defaults to Intel one…

    Compression and other features use the non-Apache license: https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/tree/main/tsl

    Some packages already use those. For previous Python versions, those are available in typing_extensions: https://typing-extensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

    "Linux x86_64" is present on my UA on Linux, and "Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64" on Windows. Probably a bug or just untested on Firefox. Just a bit annoying. I'll add that this is th…

    Interesting, thanks for the links. By the way, the one I mentioned was in r/learnpython, which is probably not exactly the ideal audience for such a feature.

    I maintain a few niche (electric power systems) packages, and I wouldn't mind a one-time or yearly fee, or a fee per project created. I say this as a Brazilian who lived in the mid…

    Last year when something like this happened, it came out that there's a legal representative in Rio: https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/internacional/en/brazil/2022/0...

    It uses Mapbox GL JS v2.x, which is no longer open-source and is tied to the TOS, so the distinction of using Mapbox tiles or not doesn't seem to matter. Just loading the library r…

    GIMP already supported ARM though, this is about "Apple Silicon". Since the post itself doesn't mention specific challenges, I guess it serves more to inform macOS users of the ava…

    Another benefit that is often overlooked is that Parquet support various compression methods, right? SQLite's official support for compression is a commercial product, so basically…

    To complement, dynamic arrays ("array of ...") are always 0-based in Delphi and Free Pascal. This was apparently introduced in Delphi 4 (1998).

    I was just looking into that and couldn't find much besides this: https://twitter.com/lIlIIllIIllIlll/status/13160140587393884...

    I guess they don't like that people can generate their own vector tiles more easily nowadays, or services like Maptiler [0] (see [1] for some more context) that provide tiles at lo…

    For physics, I think that's true. For other fields in general, it probably varies a lot (I'd love to see some numbers). We live in bubbles but we should try to remember that our bu…
