Why You Should Switch to SQLModel for FastAPI Projects

When you develop an API, you might feel like you’re writing a lot of boilerplate code: routes, database schemas, the API interface, and so on. In this video, I’ll show you how to drastically reduce that boilerplate with SQLModel and FastAPI.

Playground Wisdom: Threads Beat Async/Await
Musings about async await again and why I think virtual threads are a better model.

Final Encoding in RPython Interpreters
The article discusses implementing a final encoding approach in RPython for interpreter design, focusing on a Brainf**k interpreter as an example. It explores the benefits of using final encoding over initial encoding, including potential performance improvements and a different architectural approach to building interpreters in RPython.

Introducing DjangoVer
The article introduces DjangoVer, a versioning system for Django-related packages that aligns the package version with the latest supported Django feature release. It provides clarity on compatibility, signaling maintenance and compatibility status through the version number while addressing limitations of traditional versioning systems like Semantic Versioning.

Python Tutorial: Stock Trading Bot

This tutorial teaches how to build a stock trading bot using Django and TimescaleDB, covering data extraction from APIs, analysis, and automated recommendations. It integrates Celery for background processing and demonstrates advanced database queries in Django, showcasing the power of time series data handling for various applications beyond stock market analysis.

Is Python Really That Slow?
The post explores Python's perceived slowness, highlighting that it stems from its interpreted nature and focus on developer productivity rather than raw performance. By leveraging tools like C extensions, async programming, or just-in-time compilers, developers can often overcome performance concerns effectively.

PyPIM: Integrating Digital Processing-in-Memory from Microarchitectural Design to Python Tensors
PyPIM is an end-to-end architectural integration for digital memristive processing-in-memory (PIM), bridging the gap from high-level Python tensor operations to low-level microarchitecture. It includes an efficient microarchitecture, ISA, Python development library, and PIM driver, simplifying PIM application development and enabling easy conversion of existing Python programs to PIM.

Is async django ready for prime time?
Explore async Django's readiness for production use, its benefits, challenges, and how AI workloads can leverage its capabilities effectively.
