Java Or Python For Android - Why Not Both!

 Should You Choose Java or Python for Your Next Android Project? You don't have to with Chaquopy, the Python SDK that lets you write Android applications in Python which, thanks to support from Anaconda, has now become both free and open-source.


Chaquopy is versatile. It allows you to write Android applications in full in Python or partially, together with Java. You can pick the most suitable tool for the part of the application at hand.


Each approach has its own distinct advantages. If you have server backend that is written in Python you can now use Python for the front end as well without paying the penalty of context switching to another tool or language, or in lacking expertise in another stack.

The extra boon is that you can use your favorite Machine Learning Python libraries like SciPy, OpenCV or TensorFlow solely on your client/mobile phone without connecting to the cloud.

Open Source Is Not Just About Software

  It's about infrastructure as well, something that although not attracting the limelight, is as important as the open source software it hosts. Today the stewards of the largest open source registries in the world have issued an open letter demanding urgent reform in how open source infrastructure is funded, maintained, and operated.  https://www.i-programmer.info/news/136-open-source/18334-open-source-is-not-just-about-software.html

Europe Gets Its Own LLM

  EuroLLM is a fully open-sourced large language model made in Europe and built to support all twenty-four official EU languages. While several European states have separately produced their own LLMs, such as Greece's "Meltemi" or the recent offering from Switzerland "Apertus", there was no solution that catered for the languages of all 24 states belonging to the EU block. The time has come for this status to change with the appearance of EuroLLM, a foundational model that supports them all. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18448-europe-gets-its-own-llm.html

The PaSh Project gives your POSIX script superpowers by utilizing parallelization in order to speed up execution times.

The PaSh Project gives your POSIX script superpowers by utilizing parallelization in order to speed up execution times. This leads to faster results for data scientists,  engineers,  biologists,  economists,  administrators,  and programmers. I remember the time when the saying was "Learn Perl so you don't have to learn the Shell and its hundreds of utilities". Fast forward some decades and the use of shell scripts still has not been eradicated. On the contrary, their use has increased due to the rise of containers, VM's, administering the cloud, and Linux itself. This also serves as a lesson to those who are quick to denounce technologies as 'dead'. There's a time where a new use case revitalizes an old technology. So what is meant by "Unix philosophy"?  full article on i-programmer: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/14990-the-pash-project-advancing-the-unix-philosophy-one-step-further.html
