I've been using the No AI version of DuckDuckGo and am impressed with the results. It seems to favor reliable sites and has a clean interface: noai.duckduckgo.com

Last chance to sign up to attend the our UGM. See you there? chembl.blogspot.com/2026/05/chem...

In advance of the ChEMBL/SureChEMBL UGM, we are running a survey to solicit feedback on our user interfaces, data offerings, and indeed more broadly on our future direction. Your response will be much appreciated as it tells us where to focus our resources. chembl.blogspot.com/2026/05/help...

Notes on integrating Python and R in one place using: rpy2 - jhylin.github.io/Data_in_life... reticulate - jhylin.github.io/Data_in_life...

The way python and R foster inclusion directly contributes to their success: joyful places to exist, a steady flow of new maintainers, and a delightful collection of niche tools empowered by wildly different expertise coming together Watch the new python documentary for more on PSF’s work here

ChEMBL 36 is out! chembl.blogspot.com/2025/09/chem...

Check out our new paper available as preprint: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

This looks nice.

Want to work with me on cool stuff? #ukchemjobs #chembl #chemjobs

ellmer (for #RStats) and chatlas (for #Python) integrate LLMs directly into your code. They also support local LLMs (like #Ollama) so you can run models on your own machine, in case you have sensitive data, a lack of API access, or cost restrictions. Check out how here! posit.co/blog/setting...

In support of @egonw.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy 's 'One Million IUPAC Names' project, we have just released more than 4 million IUPAC names text-mined from patents. Read more at: chembl.blogspot.com/2025/08/unle...

Announcing Orbital for Python! For Scikit-learn users, this tool transforms your ML pipelines into SQL queries, letting predictions run directly in your database without a #Python environment. Learn more: posit.co/blog/introdu...

We would very much appreciate people taking the time to fill our impact survey. This helps makes the case for support for our resources. Survey closes on July 16th.

The ChEMBL-og: Support ChEMBL - EMBL-EBI user survey! chembl.blogspot.com/2025/06/supp...

You can now use marimo with quarto from Posit! With the marimo-quarto plugin you get reactive execution as well as our suite of widget are all available from blogs that want to use it. For a demo, check our latest YT video: youtu.be/scuGmtv81S0

But most importantly you can build this yourself using open source tools. A notebook with full end-to-end code is here: gist.github.com/lmcinnes/951... You can use the same tools and techniques to build a map for your own data.

In collaboration with Dr Daniel Lowe, we are delighted to announce that the new home of the OPSIN web service is at EMBL-EBI. This well-known service converts systematic IUPAC names to structure. Read more on our post: chembl.blogspot.com/2025/05/opsi...

New release of my "Hands-on Introduction to Data Science with Python" textbook! Contains many text edits and figure updates. For instance, in the sections on Clustering and Machine Learning. All fully #opensource and #openaccess. Figures are #CCBY. --> florian-huber.github.io/data_science...

Over on LinkedIn, I am polling people on whether they are interested in attending a ChEMBL UGM in person or remote. Leave a message here or follow the link if interested. (Stupid LI, you need to view desktop version of this site if on phone): www.linkedin.com/posts/noel-o...

Don't use the method `replace` to remove punctuation from a Python string. Instead, use the method `translate`. This is much more efficient and more general. The method `translate` expects a “translation table” in a specific format, but `maketrans` builds it for us.

For Quarto blog users, if wanting to add bsky icon to navbar, try this (as I've just figured it out): - ensure your Quarto version is 1.2.198 or above - download font awesome extension from this repo (github.com/quarto-ext/f...) - add: text: "{{< fa brands bluesky >}}" to _quarto.yml under navbar

Comparison operators in #Python can be chained together, but using them that way could be controversial. I wrote this this other day:

Recently I've been working on getting #polars running in #pyodide. This was a fun one, even requiring patches to LLVM's #wasm writer! Everything has now been upstreamed and earlier this week Pyodide v0.27.0 released, including a Wasm build of Polars usable in Pyodide, Shinylive and Quarto Live 🎉

New post: I think the debate around whether LLMs can replace developers is lacking some nuance because, if we're lucky, we as developers don't work without context. I work with my Alphabet Radio on, streaming the greatest hits of the best devs I've worked with. vickiboykis.com/2024/12/16/w...

There's a new #RDKit blog post introducing some new functionality that I'm really excited about: doing efficient substructure and similarity searches in very large chemical libraries: greglandrum.github.io/rdkit-blog/p... #ChemSky

I didn’t know I could REPL Python in a notebookesque way like this. TIL!
