So much activity at #JupyterCon 2025 -> tutorials 🧠, meetups 🤝, talks 🎤! Thankfully, Silas Santini captured some highlights and shared some valuable resources!

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

I'm no economist, but I know that our international strength & security are nurtured in myriad ways. Midnight calls, emergency aid, transoceanic treaties, multilateral negotiations, respectful allyship...

This shock-and-awe economic tumult, public insult, and willful antagonism is not that.

I've been using IPython for years, but apparently I don't start/restart it often enough to discover the Easter egg (see attached image) until today. What a nice surprise. 🏳️‍🌈

Open source is draining.

One's todo-list is open to world.

People seldom realize the cost of what they get for free.

Unpleasant comments do happen.

Cost of maintenance is not understood.
