2.0 update for "Default Cube: The Game" Blender add-on. More Superhive exclusive character dialogues, a couple new haunt variations, and it now preserves of customized assets across updates, without the need to import/export.
The #HugoAwards nominations opened today. For the third year in a row, I'm proud to be responsible for making the software that you'll use to nominate and vote, which is open source and free software.
It is built on #Python and #Django. I don't take donations for my work, but the foundations behind those libraries (and the others that NomNom depends on) certainly do!
Last year, I was working with #AI agents before this new "boom". I was really amazed by it and the opportunity that only I seemed to recognize on my team.
All that faded away as soon as you realize these agents behave like little kids that provide a non deterministic answer each time; and to answer my PM the question "why this doesn't work all the time?" with "IDK" was not enough.
Years ago I was working on a Python project. That was the backend of an Angular project. I finished my part and I was done, but higher ups decided to move me to the Angular side I didn't know anything about. My coworker knew a great deal of it so I used him as my search engine, I asked him everything, and why not if he was just there. This was nice and all until one day he was gone because he resigned a month before
generative composition made from subdividing shapes again and again. Quadrilaterals are ble and triangles are green, the colors get darker for the smaller shapes.
Today is the 10th anniversary of Liberapay's launch!
In its first decade, Liberapay processed donations worth a total of around 5 million euros, from more than 40k donors in more than 110 countries to more than 3500 recipients in more than 80 countries.
Thank you all.
To keep making the world a better place, everyone who uses Liberapay to collect donations, including Liberapay itself, needs your support. Browse the website. Donate if you can. Spread the word.
On this somewhat special anniversary, I also want to state once again that Liberapay is an open project. You can contribute to it if you have some basic skills, and receive some money in return. There's still a lot of work to do, including quite a bit that doesn't involve programming, and plenty to learn.
Liberapay is written in #Python, #SQL (until I can finish building what's needed to get rid of it), and as little #JavaScript as possible.

We are hiring for a senior developer role in Ireland. Systems programming in Golang and Python, Linux only, mostly open-source. The team is located in Europe and the East Coast.
We are looking for a smart person who's able to work in a team, challenge technical decisions, but also own their mistakes (and learn from them).
On Fedi I am not public about who I am or who I work for, which makes this a bit complicated. Hit me up if the pitch sounds interesting.
Disclaimer: At the job, using AI is encouraged when it makes sense, it wouldn't work if you are angry with all LLMs.
Hey there, I am Prathamesh Deshmukh, a PhD scholar at UGC-DAE CSR, Mumbai, working in condensed matter physics. My research focuses on magnetoelectric coupling in multiferroic composites and their dielectric, magnetic, and neutron diffraction studies.
Beyond synthesis, I specialise in scientific instrumentation. I designed the Advanced Transport Measurement System (ATMS), a low-cost cryogenic setup for precision transport measurements, and developed PICA, an open-source Python suite for lab automation.
I will be completing my PhD this year and am seeking postdoctoral research opportunities that would leverage my expertise in experimental physics, scientific instrumentation, and software development.
Thinking the #python community needs a python package manager manager.. Some system that would streamline the installation and versioning the 5 different package managers needed for a typical code base...
#ITWorldCup Greetings, programs 💾
I've got the honor to present you the match you all have been waiting for: The final of the 2025* Programming Languages World Cup: #python vs. #rustlang
*yes, yes I know, but we started in 2025. Will start the next one earlier, so it doesn't get confusing again.
