EVE Online: The Move to Python 3 Begins!

EVE Online is beginning its transition to Python 3, a move that will involve using the futurize script on 2.4 million lines of code and a manual review of about 20,000 differences between Python 2 and Python 3.

Any Nix package, live in your browser

Farid Zakaria’s trynix.dev lets users run any Nix package from the past 13 years inside a browser‑based x86_64 Linux VM powered by QEMU‑WASM. By providing URL‑addressable packages, a user can simply navigate to a link such as https://trynix.dev/?pkg=python3%403.6.2, click "Load," and obtain an interactive shell running that specific package. The platform is also integrated with GitHub Actions, enabling pull‑request reviews that launch the PR’s build directly in the browser via trynix-preview.
