CODE beyond FAIR

FAIR principles are a set of guidelines aiming at simplifying the distribution of scientific data to enhance reuse and reproducibility. This article focuses on research software, which significantly differs from data through its living nature, and its relationship with free and open-source software. Based on the second French plan for Open Science, we provide a tiered roadmap to improve the state of research software,...

The annotations on functions, classes, and modules are no longer evaluated eagerly. Instead, annotations are stored in special-purpose annotate functions and evaluated only when necessary. This is specified in PEP 649 and PEP 749. This change is designed to make annotations in Python more performant and more usable ...

The Three Projections of Futamura are a sequence of applications of a programming technique called 'partial evaluation' or 'specialisation', each one more mind-bending than the previous one. But it shouldn't be programmers who have all the fun. So I'm going to try to explain the three projections in a way that non-p...

By Sergey Tselovalnikov on 07 February 2025There is so much debate online about the usefulness of LLMs. While some people see giant leaps in productivity, others don’t see what the fuss is about. Every relevant HackerNews post now comes with a long thread of folks arguing back and forth. I call it the new Great Divi...

I started my TIL repo ↗ (essentially a microblog) 10 years ago to the day. February 6th, 2015 ↗. Has it really been 10 years? In that time I've written almost 1600 tiny Today I Learned posts across a bunch of programming topics. It's tempting to focus on the numbers (and I'll get to those later in the post), but fir...

With malicious software on the rise, how can you be certain that a computer, server, or mobile device is running the code (and provisioning data) that was intended? You can't just ask the code itself, so where do you start? The answer is deceptively simple – start where you have certainty and build up a chain of tru...

I wrote a long article about my experience upgrading a large Rust codebase to the 2024 edition. It was an interesting experience, and I learned some new things about the language along the way. I know it’s still a few more weeks until 1.85 comes out, but a lot of the work can be done ahead of time. Hopefully this will make the actual...

Ask not what you can do with unsafe; ask what unsafe can do for you. On the Rust subreddit, I often see beginners get tripped up on unsafe, posing questions like “What can I do in unsafe?” and “When do I need unsafe?”. These are useful questions — but not enough to really understand (un)safety. The former defies a s...
