C++23 is complete and pretty much finalized, so let’s explore the new features in C++, from a data science point of view.

One outcome of the 2023 Scientific Python Developer Summit was the Scientific Python Development Guide, a comprehensive guide to modern Python package development, complete with a new project template supporting 12 build backends and a WebAssembly-powered…

I’ve released a new1 toolkit for running checks, similar to Ruff and Flake8 but designed to check configuration, called repo-review.
