Everything Everywhere Daily - The Trail of Tears

Between 1830 and 1850, the United States forcibly displaced 60,000 Native Americans living in the Southern United States under the ‘Indian Removal Act.’

While being moved, thousands would die due to starvation, disease, and exposure. 

Its impact has led some scholars to classify the event as a genocide. Regardless of how it is classified, it remains one of the greatest tragedies in American history.

Learn about the Trail of Tears: why it was enacted and why it was so deadly on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Unexpected Elements - Why do we follow trends?

What's got rabbit-like ears, huge eyes, nine teeth and a demonic grin? It’s Labubu! These ugly-cute toys have gone viral online, largely thanks to social media’s trending machine. Their fame was previously limited to China and parts of Asia, but since 2024 their popularity has grown and the dolls can now be purchased in more than 30 countries round the world.

This week, the global demand for Labubu inspired us to play around with trend-based science. First up, we hear how the special sauce behind TikTok’s algorithm helps drive viral trends.

Next, we find out that humans are not the only ones that love a fad – chimpanzees are susceptible to them too!

We then discover what connects the hugely popular Beanie Baby toys of the 1990s with modern CubeSat exploration, thanks to aerospace engineer Professor James Cutler, from the University of Michigan.

Plus, we discuss a weird object thousands of light-years away that could lead to new physics.

And why do we find songs annoying after multiple listens?

All that, plus many more Unexpected Elements.

Presenter: Marnie Chesterton, with Godfred Boafo and Edd Gent Producers: Alice Lipscombe-Southwell, with Imaan Moin, Lucy Davies and Margaret Sessa Hawkins

Finally, if you want an artisanal, hand-crafted digest of every week of the show notes in email form? Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it.

Michael #1: pyx - optimized backend for uv

  • via John Hagen (thanks again)
  • I’ll be interviewing Charlie in 9 days on Talk Python → Sign up (get notified) of the livestream here.
  • Not a PyPI replacement, more of a middleware layer to make it better, faster, stronger.
  • pyx is a paid service, with maybe a free option eventually.

Brian #2: Litestar is worth a look

  • James Bennett
  • Michael brought up Litestar in episode 444 when talking about rewriting TalkPython in Quart
  • James brings up
    • scaling - Litestar is easy to split an app into multiple files
    • Not using pydantic - You can use pydantic with Litestar, but you don’t have to. Maybe attrs is right for you instead.
  • Michael brought up
    • Litestar seems like a “more batteries included” option.
    • Somewhere between FastAPI and Django.

Brian #3: Django remake migrations

  • Suggested by Bruno Alla on BlueSky
  • In response to a migrations topic last week
  • django-remake-migrations is a tool to help you with migrations and the docs do a great job of describing the problem way better than I did last week
  • “The built-in squashmigrations command is great, but it only work on a single app at a time, which means that you need to run it for each app in your project. On a project with enough cross-apps dependencies, it can be tricky to run.”
  • “This command aims at solving this problem, by recreating all the migration files in the whole project, from scratch, and mark them as applied by using the replaces attribute.”
  • Also of note
    • The package was created with Copier
    • Michael brought up Copier in 2021 in episode 219
    • It has a nice comparison table with CookieCutter and Yoeman
    • One difference from CookieCutter is yml vs json.
    • I’m actually not a huge fan of handwriting either. But I guess I’d rather hand write yml.
    • So I’m thinking of trying Copier with my future project template needs.

Michael #4: django-chronos

  • Django middleware that shows you how fast your pages load, right in your browser.
  • Displays request timing and query counts for your views and middleware.
  • Times middleware, view, and total per request (CPU and DB).

Extras

Brian:

  • Test & Code 238: So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
    • after 10 years, this is the goodbye episode

Michael:

What A Day - What It’s Like To Have Trump Hold Your Science Research Hostage

The Trump administration’s crackdown on universities across the country for alleged antisemitism has made its way from the East Coast to the West Coast. Earlier this month, the administration demanded the University of California Los Angeles pay $1-billion to the federal government to resolve what it’s calling civil rights violations. That was on top of more than half a billion dollars in cuts to federal research funding from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and other federal sources. But, a federal judge on Friday said the cuts to UCLA’s funding violated a previous order and ruled some of the funding must be restored. To talk more about the impact the funding cuts have had, we spoke with Dr. Aradhna Tripati, a professor of climate science and geochemistry at UCLA. Joining her in the conversation is Monique Trinh, a program Manager in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine.

And in the headlines: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House, Secretary of State Marco Rubio defends the department's decision to halt visitor visas for people from Gaza, and more National Guard troops are headed to DC at the behest of Trump.
