Python Bytes: #442 Cloud bills in scientific notation

This episode discusses the nature of open source security work, challenging the notion that it's a specialized or exclusive task. Seth Larson argues that security experts should contribute to multiple projects, benefiting from scale and shared knowledge, rather than isolation. Building trust in these contributors can be achieved through various means beyond in-person meetings. The discussion then shifts to the latest release of uv, version 0.8, highlighting significant changes like installing Python executables into directories on the PATH and registering Python versions with the Windows Registry. Subsequent minor releases, 0.8.1 through 0.8.3, are also mentioned, including support for Python 3.14.0rc1. The "Extra, Extra, Extra" segment covers topical items such as fstrings.wtf, the Django project's 20th anniversary, mkdocs-redirects, and a piece titled "I'm Tired of Talking About AI." A new tool called Toad is introduced, described as a universal UI for agentic coding within the terminal, developed by Will McGugan. The episode concludes with a joke about cloud architects and their bills. The hosts, Michael and Brian, encourage audience engagement through YouTube and offer support via courses and Patreon.
