📰 Floating Mini Panel Vertical Mode

Floating Mini Panel GNOME Shell extension has added a vertical panel orientation option in its latest update. For those unfamiliar with this nifty desktop add-on, it turns the GNOME’s top bar into a compact ‘widget’ you can move around your desktop, floating above other windows. A drawer lets you show/hide additional panel applets on demand. It’s a funnily fully functional and interactive panel, just smaller.

Проект Python отказался от гранта в 1.5 млн долларов на повышение защищённости PyPI

Организация Python Software Foundation, курирующая разработку языка программирования Python, отказалась от получения гранта в 1.5 млн долларов, одобренного Национальным научным фондом США в рамках программы "Безопасность, защита и конфиденциальность Open Source экосистем". Заявка на получение гранта была подана в январе и после многомесячного процесса проверки и согласования была одобрена на предоставление финансирования. Грант подразумевал выделение 1.5 млн долларов в течение двух лет, что является ощутимой для Python Software Foundation суммой, так как общий готовой бюджет данной организации составляет около 5 млн долларов в год при 14 трудоустроенных сотрудниках.
