Just published a preprint on my work on "Automatic Synthesis of Low-Complexity Translation Operators for the Fast Multipole Method" at arxiv.org/abs/2305.17867
In Amsterdam for SIAM Computational Science and Engineering conference. Going to give a talk on automatic synthesis of fast algorithms for the solution of elliptic PDEs.

Last night, 100+ @geo_uiuc grads hosted a yearly tradition - occupying the Illini Union and providing free 24 hour tutoring for our students.
This year, they decided that they needed 6 cops to forcefully remove us from the building. Our theoretical threat was a papercut.
Is it a security issue that cryptography binary wheels on pypi violate the license of 54 rust packages by not packaging the license of these rust packages?
symengine is on the list 😀, but we fixed it a few years back
New blog post is live! In which I download 4 TB of Python packages containing native x86-64 libraries and see how many of them use -ffast-math, potentially altering floating point behavior in any program unlucky enough to load them! moyix.blogspot.com/2022/09/s…

Hey folks, I'm graduating Spring 2023 and thought I'd get a head start in looking for a job. I'm looking for a job in scientific computing or HPC or packaging. DM me on LinkedIn if you are interested in hiring me.

Anyone know how to let the python garbage collector know about a cycle?

Translation: I urge myself to stop doing stupid shit. (This is the minister who is in charge of the internet in Sri Lanka)
I will never condone the blocking of social media. The availability of VPN, just like I’m using now, makes such bans completely useless. I urge the authorities to think more progressively and reconsider this decision.

#TodayInOpenSource. An employee of a large company sends a PR to conda-forge for a package with CI/quality checks disabled and another employee of the same company merges it in 6 hours.
LOL

@condaforge python 3.10 is out now and there are some new goodies in the conda package
- all dependencies in windows are unvendored.
- you don't have to activate the conda environment to use python on windows
- less runtime patches

Can't believe it's been 10 years since I started programming and that I code more in bash nowadays than any other programming language.

Hello @travisci 👋. We can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way. You endangered your entire user-base and owe them a security advisory.
Ignoring our emails, messages and phone calls won't make your problem go away.
Got one of my oldest PRs (from 2018) merged today.
classic-flang might get an official windows port soon.
