TIL that the `uv pip install` is partially faster because it doesn't compile the bytecode for Python packages it installs.
Specifically, it has the opposite behavior than pip: you can ask for byte compilation, it's opt-in rather than pip's opt-out. It actually uses more CPU than pip when you do bytecode compilation! Still faster on my computer cause I have lots of CPUs, but in CI it'd be slower I suspect.
Lack of bytecode compilation means slightly slower startup the first time you run the program (or _every_ time if you're using a Docker image and didn't opt-in to bytecode compile). Probably still worth it given how much faster uv is in other ways.

Trump beendet Klimaabkommen: „Wir werden bohren, Baby, bohren!“
Und wieder platzt eine Luftblase des links-woken Diskurses. Die USA verabschieden sich unter Trump erneut vom Pariser Klimaabkommen. Damit geht ein großer Ablasshandel seinem Ende entgegen, der zum Teil den Armen nimmt, um den Reichen zu geben.Matthias Nikolaidis (Tichys Einblick)

Social media has changed. The town square is no longer a place for everyone.
That's why we've posted physical 'X-scape' kits to leading voices at charities, media orgs and universities.
Early adoption of New Social is a great opportunity for the UK's leading institutions and we hope to help them catch up with many of the European organisations who have already turned to open social media.

You see, we are being “invaded” if Trump says so, which in turn grants him extraordinary new powers against the “invaders.” Why would he ever say otherwise?

One E.O. appears to give Trump extraordinary powers as long as we’re facing “invasion.” Who gets to decide when the “invasion” is over? Take one guess.The New Republic
