Replace "senior staff" with "people working in the ecosystem".
People who care and do hard work are being pushed out to the margins everywhere right now. :/

TBH, my first thought when I read the news about OpenAI acquiring Astral was, "there goes my productivity today"
Mastodon FeedObviously I have a lot of feelings about OpenAI acquiring Astral but I am going to try not to do much Discourse today, on account of there's not much to do about it and everybody's feelings are probably pretty raw at the moment. I am also going to *try* and wait to have much in the way of commentary until there's a better picture of what concrete influence the acquisition will have.

And while we're releasing, here's a double-feature, mostly to avoid GitHub Actions complaining about deprecated actions:
- https://github.com/hynek/build-and-inspect-python-package/releases/tag/v2.15.0
- https://github.com/hynek/setup-cached-uv/releases/tag/v2.4.0
If you sometimes have trouble building your #Python packages in CI and would like better introspection and debugability, definitely check out build-and-inspect-python-package!

The main reason I was fine using uv was that it did a very good job of following the PEPs when they existed, and giving clear, transparent reasons for not doing so when they made exceptions (like why they didn't adopt pylock.toml).
Other than PDM, though, there's just so little in the way of Python package management tooling that does a good job of bootstrapping and for declaratively managing venvs.

"A Brussels court ruled Tuesday that the retired diplomat, Étienne Davignon, must face war crimes charges over the killing of Mr. Lumumba. The ruling was the culmination of a criminal complaint that Mr. Lumumba’s children filed 15 years ago and a milestone in Belgium’s decadeslong effort to reckon with crimes committed during its brutal rule of what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Mr. Davignon is the only surviving member of a group of Belgian officials who prosecutors say organized the kidnapping and murder of Mr. Lumumba, as part of a coup against the newly elected government shortly after Congo gained independence from Belgium in 1960. Belgian officials saw Mr. Lumumba as a rabble rouser who might tilt the country toward the Soviet Union."

It's clear Fetterman doesn't care what the people of Pennsylvania want, but constituents should still let him know that they won't forgive him for supporting Trump's pick for DHS secretary.
If Fetterman wants to work for Trump, he should take a job with the regime. Pennsylvania would be better off.
