This looks amazing. Took me some time to find the author (https://fabiomaia.eu). Will drop a message to ask if it'd be possible to have a similar tool for Python. I find it useful to teach new engineers how to find the source code in the cpython repository, check if the code is Python or C, and understand what the code does (some times the docs are a bit lacking/confusing for newcomers).
Readit NewsI don't get it. I can't pull master, I can't grep, I can't edit and I certainly can't gmake there.
What's the use?
I believe it's a navigation tool, with pointers to important parts of the code. Useful for those that want to learn about the code base but do not know where to get started.

While Python being more widely used than JS, it's interesting the majority of attacks and breaches come from NPM. The consensus seems to be that Python offering a standard library greatly reduces the attack surface over JS. I tend to agree with this, a decently large Flask python app I am working on has 15 entries in requirements.txt (many of which being Flask plugins).
I also think the same. While in Java the stdlib lacks a few functions, long ago Apache Commons became the de-facto complement for the Java stdlib, being replaced/complemented by other libs over time, and eventually even becoming obsolete with newer versions of Java. But I always had the impression that having Apache Software Foundation components (with a good release/security process) helped Java to mitigate a lot of attacks.
Very sad to hear this. I interacted with Gregg a few times in Open Source projects, and he was always very easy to work with, even though he appeared to be quite busy and involved in multiple initiatives.

As I said a couple weeks ago, they're gonna have to cash out at some point. The move won't be around Uv -- it'll be a protected private PyPi or something.

Now what do we have here?
I haven't adopted uv yet watching to see what will be their move. We recently had to review our use of Anaconda tools due to their changes, then review Qt changes in license. Not looking forward to another license ordeal.

> I think Microsoft servers include GitHub? If so, that'd have a huge negative impact on research and academia in EU
All academic institutions I'm aware of run their own self-hosted GitLab instance.
ECMWF is on GitHub, and I think they mirror some work in their BitBucket.
Research in Spain has both GitLab and GitHub from what I could see (my company has 2 internal GitLab, a few orgs on GitHub).
Many projects from EOSC or used in EOSC ptojects and deliverables have GitHub repos.
Many projects I use from a Manchester Uni team from ontologies and metadata and provenance are hosted on GitHub.
CERN, Max Planck, INRIA use GitHub, although not sure if exclusively or if they mirror. But I know some of their international collaboration happens there.
So GitLab is definitely used in Eu institutions. Maybe all. But that does not mean GitHub is not also used primarily or as alternative or mirror by these same institutions.

> 74% of Europe’s publicly listed companies rely on US-based tech like Google and Microsoft.
Only 74%?
That feels wrong.
I don’t know a single company off the top of my head that wouldn’t suffer serious damage if you null-routed Google and Microsoft’s servers.
Excel rules the world, and even if it didn’t: nobody is running libreoffice on linux professionally, at least not that I am aware of- and hosting mail? Conventional wisdom is that you should outsource that: I don’t seriously believe that people would outsource mail and not go with Google/Microsoft and get a productivity suite “for free”.
I think Microsoft servers include GitHub? If so, that'd have a huge negative impact on research and academia in EU, as well as software development (even some web pages using JSresources from GitHub pages directly).
Recently tried a bunch of frontend charging libraries.
Disclaimer: I only tried line charts for time series X axis and bar charts for categorical X axis. No other charts. I had filters, group by and sort by options in control panel. Data was fetched everytime from database when control panel was modified, so no client side number crunching.
My requirements were:
Control panel at top (which I'll manage). Then a grid of charts below with synced cursors and zooms (toggleable).
Basically, grafana, but they're not necessarily time series graphs.
I found uPlot(which is iirc what grafana uses) and eCharts to be the handsdown winners. Within those two, I preferred eCharts as first of all uplot didn't have any docs, LLMs didn't really perform well, and also vue-eplot wrapper didn't work.
Secondly, eCharts had nice animations, which uPlot does not support and I understand why, but I just wanted it for this project. It's really neat, when you add a group by in your control panel the charts nicely animate and the legend shows up etc
The others just did not impress, highcharts, chart.js, c3.js, ag-grid.
But maybe they're better fit for another usecase.
Vue-echarts is such a nice wrapper too.
// your refs from control panel inputs
// chartOption = computed(() => make from inputs)
// <v-chart :chartOption />
It is also ridiculously reliable. When you have empty/missing data there's no annoying try-catch or guards you have to do when rendering, it automatically shows an empty graph with the size you specified. The title and other decorations still remain.
It also works well inside flex/grid layouts. No nonsense with CSS needed.
Thanks for the summary and good to know it integrates well with Vue.js!
I buy some arts materials from China, but only simple things that I cannot find in EU or tyat are just the same product re-sold a lot more expensive here. I'd be glad to buy in EU if that's cheaper.
I still buy EU arts materials that are more expensive than Chinese products, but that are (at least supposedly) better tested for toxicity.
I noticed in the past year or two art stores like Casa Piera/Arte Miranda have had more products like watercolor paper and paints from China. I hope new regulations will make sure these are compliant with EY regulations, without raising the price to consumer too much.
I found interesting to learn there are businesses around converting used servers into desktops. Sounds like a good initiative to avoid some e-waste (assuming the desktops are easy to maintain).
