Had a great time at DuckCon #6. So many cool stuff to try, like the airport extension and DuckPGQ. Managed to do a small sports analytics meeting with @tk5.futbol ! Last but not least, we made this awesome picture with Mr DuckDB @hannes.muehleisen.org :-)

I thought this wasn't such a big deal, but it's huge. Just wasted hours on debugging. End result: order of columns was different in source tables. duckdb.org/2025/01/10/u...

Pyodide 0.27 has been released 🎉 This release includes some new data science and data engineering packages: PyArrow, @pola.rs, @duckdb.org. This means you can play around with these packages in your browser. Read everything here: blog.pyodide.org/posts/0.27-r...

@karun1710.bsky.social good to see you here!

Rust + Python is such a great combi. Rust for the high performance part, python to easily glue stuff together. Now let’s see how to integrate tokio and python asyncio

🎄 𝐤𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐲==𝟑.𝟏𝟔.𝟎 Happy Holidays to the Sports Analytics Community! This release contains some exciting updates, you can find the highlights in this thread. But first, we're really excited that @probberechts.bsky.social has officially joined as a maintainer! 💙

💙 We want to thank Dries Deprest, Ricardo Furbino, Sports Dynamics DS, @probberechts.bsky.social, @koenvossen.bsky.social and @unravelsports.com for their contributions!

Whoaa... turns out the local network runs much smoother when there's only one DHCP server active 🙈

💸𝐏𝐲𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬! We're now accepting donations to advance open-source sports analytics. Your contribution helps develop innovative open source tools and fosters a collaborative community. 🚀 Donate via QR code or at pysport.org. Together, let's shape the future of sports data!

Are there any domain experts that offer a LLM trained on themselves? Would like to pay for unlimited chatting with a @martin.kleppmann.com LLM for example :-) Every book author should have one!

@lucvandonkersgoed.com I can remember you once posted about events with large payloads. Is there a standard library for? I need to pass events with 100MB+ payloads

Let’s assume I have a component that produces objects. Those objects contain multiple attributes and one is a large DataFrame. I need to send the object over the network. Are there any existing libraries that handle (de)serialization and store the DataFrame attributes in an object storage

Why do they block SSH on the WiFi at swimming lessons?!

Is there a Polars starters pack?

Wow.. Append coming to S3?! aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...

I need to build an importer for some complex/nested json data. First step is to read the data using Pydantic. But I don't want to write those models myself 🤔 ChatGPT to the rescue.. "create pydantic models for this json, make sure to convert CamelCase to snake_case". Done

@mimdj.bsky.social hey! you are here too :-)

Nice! :-)

"GLOW is a free-to-attend light art festival in the heart of Eindhoven, illuminating the dark November" It was pretty cool again this year! gloweindhoven.nl/en/

Excited to speak at Northeastern University's Sports Analytics Conference on Nov 20, 2024, supported by @pysport.bsky.social ! I'll dive into an open-source tool for insights from ML tracking data, its inspiration, and practical use in football. If you're in Boston, stop by to chat. See you there!

🚀 Are you a Python dev or data scientist in endurance sports? 🏃🚴🏊 PySport has been more team sport-focused, but we're exploring ways to bring the endurance community together! Interested in collaborating on tools or projects for endurance sports? Comment or DM us!

Loads of great #rstats and #dataBS starter packs going around, here's an attempt at a #SportsAnalytics starter pack - please DM if you think I've missed you/anyone else!

One of the challenges with PyIceberg (or Iceberg in general) is that all its neat features come at a cost to performance. load with pyiceberg (local file cache) took: 6.6 sec *plan files: 3.5sec, project_table 3.1sec load with polars (local files) took: 270ms Same partitioning

Friendly reminder to myself: don't delay merging git branches unnecessarily.

Cool post about running Rust on bare metal RISC V microcontroller www.elan8.com/blog/rust-on...

I wrote a blog about caching in PyIceberg "Accelerating Data Reads in Iceberg: Caching and Optimization Strategies" eyedle.ai/accelerating... #python #iceberg #dataengineering #pyiceberg

Some new work from the DTAI group. Rule based approach to sync event data to tracking data. dtai.cs.kuleuven.be/sports/blog/...

Experimenting a bit with creating coloring pages for the kids. Started with a description of one of the kids generated by chatgpt based on a photo.

The 0.19.9 polars release makes it possible to use your own custom expressions in the polars engine. This is cool stuff :-) Check it out: pola-rs.github.io/polars/user-... #polars
