Python now ships with 15,000 lines of verified cryptographic code from HACL*, covering all default hash and HMAC algorithms. The integration was seamless and automated, aiming to eliminate bugs like the 2022 SHA3 CVE. A major milestone for verified crypto in mainstream software.

Roughly one day a week lately, I have been working with a friend to reboot some of the many https://pagekite.net things that had stalled while I had other priorities. It's been great!

When we started working together, she was a bit baffled at my complaints about the upgrade treadmill and the #Python community's wilful lack of fucks to give about long term stability.

It didn't take long, maybe 4-5 sessions, before she began to vehemently understand what I was moaning about...

Developing and Testing Python Packages with uv - Article by Michael Aydinbas #Programming #Python https://pybit.es/articles/developing-and-testing-python-packages-with-uv/

Happy Friday!

Successfully dropping the safety package from the #nox tests in my #Django projects and replacing with pip-audit.
I've been un-satisified with the direction the safety package for some time and pip-audit get the vulnerability checking job done for me.

Feels good to start getting that cleaned up after putting it off for several months.

Oh i did a thing again.

Me:
An experienced #Python and #Linux dev that's been part of two successful startups being sold. One being an embedded Linux appliance for transit and first responders. I've even had my kernel patches merged. The other job, a fork of Cloud Foundry to use Docker containers instead of VMs.

The job I'm applying for:
"Design and develop Linux-based software for on-premises appliances and virtual machines using C and Python technologies"

I don't even get a call back.

This job market is brutal :(

TFW you work on some Python code for kind of a while and then run Black on it and it doesn't change ANYTHING. #Python

the pickle module in #python is so cool! i cut load times for a spellchecker/dictionary by almost 90% by just caching the objects for next time

#data_question

Given:
```
import numpy as np

arr3d = np.array([[[1,2,3], [4,5,6]],[[7,8,9], [10,11,12]]])
```

What is the result:
```
old = arr3d[0].copy()
arr3d[0] = 42
print(arr3d,'\n')
arr3d[0] = old

foo = arr3d[1, 0]
bar = arr3d[1]
foo == bar[0]
```
