🚀 I just converted my open source projects to use uv for installation, with the new setup-uv action ( github.com/astral-sh/setup-uv ) and tox-uv ( pypi.org/project/tox-uv/ ). (They already used uv’s 'pip compile' command to pin test dependencies.)

For the smaller projects with fast test suites, I saw up to a 3x improvement, thanks to all the setup overhead shrinking (e.g. 1m40s -> 40s).

A new version of check_es_system, an #opensource #monitoring plugin for #Elasticsearch, is available!
The latest release 1.13.0 fixes a cert-based authentication bug and improves the plugin code.

What is a decision?

In a discussion about what decisions are, John Krakauer emphatically pronounced that "decisions happen for reasons", in answering 'no' to my question if it wasn't a decision with which foot to start walking from a stand-still. A recent article from the laboratory of Carolina Rezaval in Birmingham studied a decision-making process in male Drosophila fruit flies where the reasons for each decision seemed apparent.
