pixi 0.30.0 is now available! In this release I contributed `pixi project export conda-explicit-spec` that allows you to export a pixi.lock file to a conda explicit spec that can be used with conda/mamba. Full release notes are here github.com/prefix-dev/pixi/r… @prefix_dev
I'm particularly excited about this since it allows you to manage environments using pixi and then deploy to conda/mamba. This replaces conda-lock for me and has the benefit of using pixi's more expressive pixi.toml format to specify envs in place of an environment.yml.
pixi now also supports exporting a conda environment.yml as well thanks to @abkfenris, and I am working on functionality for exporting pip/uv requirements.txt for pypi dependencies.

Numba continues to be a quiet but powerful tool in the Python high-performance arsenal.

We wrote a blog about our multiple environment support!
It completely redefines the use of test and production environments with solve-groups.

I've started experimenting with using pixi from @prefix_dev as a conda/mamba replacement. I'm not sold yet on the directory-based workflow (compared with a global registry of envs), but I'm hoping a future release allow for more flexibility.

conda-lock has made environment management so much easier. Now I just create a unified conda-lock across all platforms, then render to a specific platform so that others can just use `conda/mamba create -n newenv --file conda-<platform>.lock`, without needing conda-lock
Is anyone using micromamba as a complete conda/mamba replacement for everyday development (rather than just in CI)?
I think Threads is making a mistake of pre-populating your feed with a bunch of random accounts. I want explicit control over what I see and a chronological timeline. Also it seems like it's missing a hashtag mechanism.
I was trying out the official @Reddit ios app since I'm being forced off of the excellent @apolloreddit. Many communities are failing to load and when they do it's incredibly slow. At least when twitter killed tweetbot their ios app was useable even if it was a worse experience

Brossard and Corcelli just published their first paper using WESTPA! They investigated the mechanism for binding a small molecule to the minor groove of DNA.

PSA: There is a silly bug in python where if your conda env has "-arch" anywhere in its name, it breaks sysconfig.get_platform() (and thus jupyter)

Anyone know folks at/working with Google Scholar? We're having some problems with how LiveCoMS journal articles appear in Google Scholar (many articles get collapsed into a single entry) and it would help if we can talk with a human about what we can do to improve the situation.
