I don't really see why I'd use it tbh.

The main reason my repos are large is temporary data like virtual environments or compiled artifacts. So shared .git doesn't really help me.

Also it has annoying limitations like I can't checkout the same branch IIRC

As AWS open source just turned our request down, anyone have contacts at Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure who thinks they might be interested in donating cloud credits for an educational tutorial at SciPy 2025?

Marimo is an excellent project. Powerful like Jupyter and reactive like Excel. It also fully supports Pixi 🚀

While I've been attending @scipyconf.bsky.social since 2019 and helping to organize SciPy since 2021, #SciPy2025 will be my first time teaching a tutorial at the conference! Hope to see you there, and looking forward to great experiences with the tutorial participants.

The times are a-changing

A US colleague just warned me that 'AI is reading every word' when I emailed on the current trumpian disasters for US science (indicating it might cause trouble at future US border crossings)

Wow, feels like we're moving back to USSR times with self-imposed censorship

Looking forward to meeting you then 🤝

Agreed, I wasn't involved there so I feel really comfortable that recipe v1 is extremely well done

That's great to hear 😄

Interesting. Will pixi build help you there?

Is R used in particle physics?

Or do you mostly see Python and Matlab for scripting?

I'd be interested in that as well. Relying on conda-forge should make R developer's life much easier

I've seen a lot of Python folks getting super excited about `uv run --with ....` and I get it now. In @conda.org world, you can do the same with @prefix.dev Pixi!

A colleague wanted me to debug something with PyArrow on my system and all I had to do was:

```
$ pixi exec -s pyarrow python
```

🤯

Yeah, I live in the metropolitan region of Munich. Would love to meet up. Just let me know when you know more!

Pytorch Installation - Pixi by prefix.dev None

Super helpful guide for installing PyTorch using pixi from @prefix.dev prefix-dev.github.io/pixi/v0.39.4... This is point of confusion for a lot of people so it’s great that there is official documentation now.

Now out: version 0.101.0 of Nu. This release adds a simplified startup configuration, several new commands, and additional tools to introspect the Nushell engine. www.nushell.sh/blog/2024-12...

Happy holidays from the Nushell team!

GitHub - conda-forge/sbi-feedstock: A conda-smithy repository for sbi. A conda-smithy repository for sbi. Contribute to conda-forge/sbi-feedstock development by creating an account on GitHub.

The Python package sbi is now on conda-forge. github.com/conda-forge/... With @prefix.dev's pixi you can now get a full CUDA environment (pixi.sh/dev/features...) and sbi installed and ready to go in under 60 seconds (maybe under 30) with 3 commands (if you count your text editor as 1).
