Articles, Tutorials and Talks

Python 3.13 gets a JIT
In late December 2023, CPython core developer Brandt Bucher submitted a little pull-request to the Python 3.13 branch adding a JIT compiler. This change, once accepted would be one of the biggest changes to the CPython Interpreter since the Specializing Adaptive Interpreter added in Python 3.11. In this post, we’re going to have a look at this JIT, what it is, how it works and what the benefits are.

Integrating Rust and Python with a Shared Library 
Learn how to build computational and memory intensive functions in Rust and seamlessly integrate them into Python scripts. This video covers creating a shared Python module with Rust using pyo3, compiling the Rust code into a shared object file, importing that file in Python, and calling the high-performance Rust functions from Python.

Knuckledragger: Experimenting with a Python Proof Assistant
Something that I’m tinkering with is making a proof assistant in python.

Fun With Scrapy Link Validation on CI
How can you make sure, automatically, that all the links to other internal pages within a site continue to work? In this article, we look at how to use Scrapy, a web scraping tool, and GitHub Actions, a Continuous Integration system, to accomplish this goal.

Using formatters and linters to manage a large codebase
At Kraken Tech we have a large global development team with over 500 developers, the majority of which work on the same monolithic codebase comprising more than 4 million lines of Python code. We release new code over 100 times a day, running hundreds of thousands of tests in the process. So how can we ensure high coding quality in a distributed team, with such frequent changes? And how can we make it easier for new joiners to slot right in and contribute?

A Deep Dive Into Python's functools.wraps Decorator
The article discusses the importance of the functools.wraps decorator in Python. It explains how the decorator helps to preserve metadata when wrapping one object over another, particularly when developing Python decorators. The author emphasizes the significance of this decorator due to the potential loss of valuable metadata from the encapsulated object. 

SIMD in Pure Python
This post explores the concept of SWAR (SIMD Within A Register) and its variant SWAB (SIMD Within A Bigint) in the context of Python. It discusses how SWAB, which maximizes the amount of work done per VM instruction, can be beneficial in Python by reducing interpreter overhead and allowing the CPU to spend the majority of its time in fast native code that implements integer operations

Experimenting with Handwriting Recognition for The New York Times Crossword
The article discusses the exploration of handwriting recognition in The New York Times Crossword app during the MakerWeek 2023 hackathon. The project involved implementing on-device machine learning for handwriting recognition on both iOS and Android platforms, with the potential for interactive features like "Scribble-to-Erase" detection and in-app self-training mechanisms.

Retro on Viberary 
The article reflects on the author's experience with Viberary, a side project aimed at finding books based on a particular vibe. The project was created to explore machine learning side projects and the intersection of search and recommendations, serving as a production-grade complement to the author's recent deep dive into embeddings.

Deploying AI-powered Django apps to Modal.com
Modal is a great place to deploy Python apps that use AI models and require GPU. Here’s how to use Modal with Django apps.
