ignore the rumors, computer science is still cool

here's my predictions for 2026

Using custom domain this time?

JupyterLite Officially Joins Project Jupyter! We are thrilled to announce that JupyterLite is now an official part of Project Jupyter. This milestone marks a significant step forward…

🎉 JupyterLite is now part of Project Jupyter!

Run Jupyter notebooks directly in your browser: no server, no setup.

Many thanks to the JupyterLite contributors and supporters like QuantStack, Bloomberg and the Gates Foundation.

Profoundly sad to read news of Roger Barlow's passing. A great physicist, educator and communicator, who lived by his principles and would share his wisdom with anyone who asked. The world is now a poorer place.

Bientôt des femmes de sciences sur la Tour Eiffel Bientôt des femmes de sciences sur la Tour Eiffel

Pour réhabiliter les contributions des femmes à l’histoire des sciences, le CNRS participe à une commission visant l’inscription de 72 femmes scientifiques sur la Tour Eiffel.
La liste de ces femmes a été remise à la maire de Paris le 26 janvier 2026.

Image of Abdus Salam in his maturity, wearing a pinstriped double-breasted suit, while writing on a blackboard and pointing with the index finger of his left hand, presumably looking at the camera. He is wearing glasses and has a very subtle smile. Image source: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/about/introducing-imperial/our-people/award-winners/nobel-winners/abdus-salam/

January 29, 1926: the great theoretical physicist Abdus Salam was born in the Punjab Province of British India (now in Pakistan).

In 1979, he shared the Nobel Prize for Physics with Steven Weinberg and Sheldon Glashow, ...

I really like the term "stochastic parrots"!

Finally something to share when anyone asks how @tangled.org will make money 😂

A Year of Typing: My NumPy Fellowship Retrospective A Year of Typing: My NumPy Fellowship Retrospective

🚀 New blog post by Joren Hammudoglu!

One year as a NumPy Fellow, pushing (and reshaping) the boundaries of static typing within the Scientific Python ecosystem.

I like journal clubs where you are only allowed to say positive things about a paper. They are so much more satisfying.

I know you are asking about official editor, but have you tried any of the unofficial ones? : ydx-2147483647.github.io/best-of-typs...

I've been working on a new tool with @tonofcrates.bsky.social to make publishing easier called Rheo:

rheo.ohrg.org

In a nutshell, it lets you produce an EPUB, a PDF, and a static site (HTML) from a folder of @typst.app files. The Rheo doc site is naturally made with Rheo (PDF and EPUB linked).

Curious what was storing the largest cache in your case? Browser? pixi/uv? Zoom?

Reminder if you find yourself somehow running out of space on your multi-TB laptop to check your ~/.cache size. I got 150 GB of disk back today by doing some trivial cleanup.

```
du -ch ~/.cache | tail -1 | cut -f1
```

Caches are wonderful things and having large caches on large disks is great!

What Is Life? Revisited Cambridge Core - Philosophy of Science - What Is Life? Revisited

This short book by @djnicholson.bsky.social is extraordinarily good for understanding not just the genesis, message and myths of Schrödinger's book but also why molecular biology developed in the way it did (and what's problematic about that).

MicroBooNE Finds no Evidence for a Sterile Neutrino MicroBooNE experiment further rules out possibility of one sterile neutrino as explanation for results from previous experiments

Scientists working on the MicroBooNE experiment announced that they have found no evidence for a fourth type of neutrino.

1. You don't make time to write. You don't "make" time for anything. Time is not Bitcoin; you can't mine new minutes in a day. Time is finite and non-renewable, so if you want to be writing for more minutes of your life, you must spend fewer minutes of your life on other things.

The Call for Proposals for #SciPy2026 is now live! pretalx.com/scipy-2026/cfp If you have questions about @scipyconf.bsky.social just ask and be on the lookout for proposal writing office hours!

I'm allocating a little budget to sponsor some folks who do important FOSS work.

If you know some people who aren't yet getting enough love yet, send me their accounts.

Especially if they work directly on or adjecent to @typst.app @rust-lang.org and jujutsu (the vcs).

Sorry for my ignorance, but if using public repos on Github, why would you use a self-hosted runner instead of their free runner? And @tangled.org does not support private repos yet.....

Nice article. I've been using typst for making slides (with polylux and touying) and I really like it for that use case too.

Also, why are you storing all customization in a single `lib.typ`? Might make sense to split it into multiple packages and templates?

That is so cool!
