DefoEye: Python-Based Software for Facilitating Time-Series InSAR Analysis of Sentinel-1 Remote-Sensing Data
Alireza Taheri Dehkordi, Hossein Hashemi, Amir Naghibi
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.04915 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.04915 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.04915
arXiv:2608.04915v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Many existing time-series Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (TS-InSAR) software tools have limitations, including restricted geographic applicability, commercial licensing, and incomplete end-to-end processing support. Although GMTSAR avoids some of these constraints, it still requires substantial manual intervention and C-shell commands, lacks a user-friendly graphical interface, and omits important steps such as interferogram network pruning and anchoring of unwrapped interferograms. This paper introduces DefoEye (v1), an open-source Python-based software package that wraps GMTSAR and provides a unified, user-friendly TS-InSAR workflow for Sentinel-1 data. DefoEye supports parallel job execution, interferogram network pruning, and multiple anchoring options. Its performance was evaluated from 2020 to 2024 in four regions with different geological settings, deformation mechanisms, and atmospheric and climatic conditions. In Bologna, Italy; Gotland, Sweden; and Houston, USA, DefoEye results were compared with observations from 10 GNSS stations and showed strong agreement, with RMSE values of 4.3-11.9 mm and Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.63-0.95. In Karaj, Iran, where GNSS observations were unavailable, DefoEye was compared with other widely used processing tools and achieved similarly close agreement, with an RMSE of 4.8 mm/yr and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.98. These results demonstrate that DefoEye provides reliable TS-InSAR products for geological, hydrological, and environmental applications.

It's kind of crazy that both GPT and Claude really love to manipulate files by writing Python scripts that do text search-and-replace. First of all, why isn't this a dedicated tool? Second, the generated scripts usually don't check that the search-and-replace was successful. Are they just good enough at regurgitating text that they never make mistakes? What if the file was modified in the mean time?

Fractional-order differential geometry of Gielis curves: chart regularization, Caputo curvature, and the fate of singularities
Umut Selvi, Derya Sa\u{g}lam
https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.03754 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2610.03754 https://arxiv.org/html/2610.03754
arXiv:2610.03754v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Gielis curves describe many natural shapes, and some of them have corners or cusps. We apply two recent ideas from the differential geometry of curves to Gielis curves: "regularizing" changes of metric and fractional curvatures based on the Caputo derivative. First, we show that the smoothness of a Gielis curve is controlled by the exponents $n_2$ and $n_3$, not by $n_1$. A change of coordinates, the Gielis chart, maps every Gielis curve that closes after one turn onto the unit circle. However, the corners and cusps of the curve reappear as a loss of regularity of the metric; they are transported, not removed. Second, for the fractional curvature defined by Caputo scaling, we distinguish two conventions that differ in the choice of parameter and derive their scaling laws under homotheties. We prove that the memory of the Caputo operator breaks the rotational symmetry: the fractional curvature takes different values at corresponding points of congruent arcs. For fractional order $\alpha<1$, the curves of constant fractional curvature are spirals, and the clothoid is a special case. We also introduce a fractional total turning for curves with corners, give closed forms for regular polygons, and show that fractional general and slant helices coincide with the classical ones. The Python library used in the computations is listed in the appendix.

I’m on my way to Berlin to meet some Pythonistas and old friends: #Python #Django #Berlin

speaking of slophub, here's environ-config 26.1.0 (my #Python take on loading config from env variables and secrets from safe places) a minor modernization update. thanks so much to every single name in the thanking section and to github who made it possible:

Release 26.1.0 · hynek/environ-config
Highlights Mostly packaging, small bugs, and docs updates. Only heads-up is that the created classes are now using attrs's NG-style ones with subtly different defaults. Full changelog below! Specia...

I suppose there's something telling about the fact that a #Python library for file locks has… [checks notes]… 116 releases already.

📋 #ClaudeCode ships with a built-in cron scheduler. #Codex CLI does not. So I built one myself — one skill file plus one #Python helper, no daemon, no service, no queue

I’m somewhat embarrassed to finally announce svcs 26.1.0 – my solution to #Python service location and dependency injection.
It’s been a minute, and the changelog is chuck-full, but the main features are autowiring, which looked like a simple add-on that grew to a four-digit monster diff, and of course, TypeForms that allow registering/getting abstract types!

Highlights In the spirit of "we do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy" this release brings a great new feature: autowiring! It resolves depend...

The state of #Python ecosystem right now: almost everything is slop. Some projects are complete vibe-coded slop (autobahn, chardet, cryptography). Some projects are disguised slop ("Coding agents shouldn't co-author themselves.")
There is only a handful of human projects left (Flask being one bright example). And they're being killed. They're being killed by the neverending slew of slop pull requests. They're being killed by all their dependencies becoming slop. They're being killed because this whole ecosystem has became such a complete cesspit that you have zero motivation to do anything.
EDIT: and honestly, this is only going to get worse. When you kill the incentive to work on projects, you only get more slop. Maintainers give in, and more projects become slop. Or they give up, and projects get forked unto slop.

🔧 The backend is #Python-based on top of #pipecat, the UI is #TypeScript. The architecture is modular so components can be swapped, and

Me after laboriously backporting #Python 3.15 fixes to #Django 6.0.x in #Gentoo: "oh, nice, the patchset applies cleanly to 5.2.x as well."
And today, I have to laboriously backport another patch to 6.0.x, and it turns out the backport doesn't apply cleanly to 5.2.x, so I have to laboriously backport it there as well.
I honestly *hate* Django Python version support policy. Shifting all the burden downstream.

If I were to judge demand for kinds of software based on #Python package releases last month, I'd say we have a very quickly rising demand for:
• a (redundant) package providing virtual environments (23 releases in a month)
• a package providing test environments (16 releases)
• a package providing lockfile support (15 releases)
• a package providing support for special platform directories (XDG, etc.) (12 releases)
Or maybe it's just #slop. I don't know, they're not admitting to it in their very verbose commit messages.

What kind of a tuple are you?
