@brassnet.biz    Over the course of the past year the PSF invested a lot of time and energy in applying for an NSF grant to help secure PyPI. This 1.5M grant would have given the PSF the resources to create tooling to help prevent supply chain attacks that would have benefited not just the Python community but the...

@yellowduck.be    When optimizing code for performance or parallel processing, it’s often useful to know how many CPU cores are available.
