As usual we watched the "Stoertebekker" stage play at Ralswiek on Rügen Island. The stage setups and wardrobes were as awesome as always. They really try to improve on that every year and come up with clever mechanisms to transform the building for the various acts of the play. The script this year left room for desire ;) Nevertheless a happing worth attending

dramatic nighttime view of a medieval red brick castle complex illuminated against a deep blue sky. The fortress features multiple towers with conical roofs, Gothic arched windows, and wooden walkways connecting different sections. The warm lighting creates a striking contrast with the twilight sky, highlighting the intricate brickwork and architectural details.
A dramatic theatrical scene showing a medieval village set with half-timbered buildings and stone structures during what appears to be a fire sequence. Bright orange and yellow flames and smoke billow dramatically from behind the buildings against a twilight blue sky. The stage set includes traditional Germanic-style architecture with timber framing, thatched roofs, and stone walls, all illuminated by warm stage lighting. This appears to be part of an outdoor historical drama performance with e…
A daytime view of the same outdoor theater venue showing the medieval village stage set from a different angle. The scene includes traditional Germanic-style buildings with timber framing, stone towers, and period ships docked at a waterfront. Hundreds of spectators fill the amphitheater seating, watching what appears to be a historical reenactment performance.
Another view of the outdoor performance venue during daylight hours, showcasing the impressive scale of the medieval town recreation. The set includes detailed replicas of half-timbered houses, castle walls, towers, and historic vessels positioned along the waterfront. A packed audience enjoys the theatrical production from the modern tiered seating area.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Some fun facts about #Python limited API / stable ABI.
1. #CPython supports "limited API". When you use it, you get extensions that are compatible with the specified CPython version and versions newer than that. To indicate this compatibility, such extensions use `.abi3.so` suffix (or equivalent) rather than the usual `.cpython-313-x86_64-linux-gnu.so` or alike.
2. The actual support is split between CPython itself and #PEP517 build systems. For example, if you use #setuptools and specify `py_limited_api=` argument to the extension, setuptools will pass appropriate C compiler flags and swap extension suffix. There's a similar support in #meson, and probably other build systems.
3. Except that CPython freethreading builds don't support stable ABI right now, so building with "limited API" triggers an explicit error from the headers. Setuptools have opted for building explicit about this: it emits an error if you try to use `py_limited_api` on a freethreading interpreter. Meson currently just gives the compile error. This implies that package authors need to actively special-case freethreading builds and enable "limited API" conditionally.
4. A some future versions of CPython will support "limited API" in freethreading builds. I haven't been following the discussions closely, but I suspect that it will only be possible when you target that version or newer. So I guess people will need to be building two stable ABI wheels for a time — one targeting older Python versions, and one targeting newer versions plus freethreading. On top of that, all these projects will need to update their "no 'limited API' on freethreading" conditions.
5. And then there's #PyPy. PyPy does not feature a stable ABI, but it allows you to build extensions using "limited API". So setuptools and meson just detect that there is no `.abi3.so` on PyPy, and use regular suffix for the extensions built with "limited API".

Nice to see Michael Hansmeyer still following his dreams: The White Tower was finally revealed 2 weeks ago, currently the largest 3D printed structure in the world (30 meters [90ft] tall), located in a small village in Switzerland:

Geometric Optimization and IPA-Induced Dispersion Tuning in Solid-Core Photonic Crystal Fibers
This study presents a numerical investigation of solid-core photonic crystal fibers with circular and hexagonal cladding geometries. The goal is to optimize optical parameters for nonlinear photonics and environmental sensing. Full-vectorial simulations using FDTD, PWE, and FDE are used to analyze the effects of core diameter, pitch, and air filling fraction on the zero-dispersion wavelength, nonlinear coefficient, effective mode area, and confinement loss. Reducing the core diameter from 2.4 t…
