The Python Package Index (PyPI) has announced that it is now
checking for expired domains to try to prevent domain-resurrection
attacks. In this type of attack, a malicious user buys an expired
domain and uses it to take over an account by resetting the password
associated with the email used with PyPI. Since June, PyPI has
unverified more than 1,800 email addresses after their associated
domains entered expiration phases.
After an initial bulk check period that took place in April 2025,
PyPI will check daily for any domains in use for status changes, and
update its internal database with the most recent status.
If a domain registration enters the redemption period, that's an
indicator to PyPI that the previously verified email destinations may
not be trusted, and will un-verify a previously-verified email
address. PyPI will not issue a password reset request to addresses
that have become unverified.
PyPI recommends that users add a second verified email address
"from another notable domain (e.g. Gmail)" to their account, if
they do not have one already.

link preview feature (with optional "AI-generated key points"), and
a "flexible exception list" for the

on sites that otherwise will not work properly.

Statically typed programming languages can help catch mismatches between the kinds of
values a program is intended to manipulate, and the values it actually manipulates.
While there have been many bytes spent on discussions of whether this is worth
the effort, some programming language designers believe that the type checking
in current languages
does not go far enough.
Koka, an
experimental functional programming language, extends its type system
with an
effect system that tracks the side-effects a program will have in the
course of producing a value.

The JetBrains blog presents
the
results of the eighth annual Python Developers Survey, carried out in
partnership with the Python Software Foundation.
This year, 51% of all surveyed Python developers are involved in
data exploration and processing, with pandas and NumPy being the
tools most commonly used for this.
Many of us in the Python pundit space have talked about Python as
being divided into thirds: One-third web development, one-third
data science and pure science, and one-third as a catch-all bin.
We need to rethink that positioning now that one of those thirds is
overwhelmingly the most significant portion of Python.

The
Git distributed version-control
system has released version 2.51, with "506 non-merge commits since
v2.50.1, contributed by 91 people, 21 of which are new faces". It
brings multiple new features, some of which are highlighted in a
post
on the GitHub blog. It includes some performance improvements for multi-pack indexes
(MIDXs), a way to import and export stash entries so they can be migrated
more easily, and smaller pack files:
Git 2.51 takes the spirit of that change and goes a step further by introducing a new way to collect objects when repacking, called "path walk". Instead of walking objects in
revision order with Git emitting objects with their corresponding path names along the way, the path walk approach emits all objects from a given path at the same time. This approach avoids the name-hash heuristic altogether and can look for deltas within groups of objects that are known to be at the same path.
As a result, Git can generate packs using the path walk approach that are often significantly smaller than even those generated with the new name hash function described above. Its timings are competitive even with generating packs using the existing revision order traversal.

Rebooting a computer ordinarily brings an abrupt end to any state built up
by the old system; the new kernel starts from scratch. There are, however,
people who would like to be able to reboot their systems without
disrupting the workloads running therein. Various developers are currently
partway through the project of adding this capability, in the form of
"kexec handover" and the "live update orchestrator", to the kernel.

The
second 6.17 kernel prepatch is out for
testing. "So it's been a very calm week, and this is one of the smaller
rc2 releases we've had lately. I'm definitely not complaining, since I've
been jetlagged much of the week, but I have this suspicion that it just
means that next week will see more noise."

In a recent
entry
on his blog,
OpenBSD
developer Ted Unangst (tedu@) asks,
is OpenBSD 10x faster than Linux?.
He explains,
Here’s a little benchmark complements of Jann Horn. It’s unexpectedly slow on Linux.
OpenBSD is so fast, I had to modify the program slightly to measure itself, as the time utility is missing sufficient precision to even record nonzero.
Go on,
