The official Python package repository has blocked new registrations in response to latest malware campaign
The official third-party package repo for Python, PyPI, has blocked new project and user creations in response to a sophisticated malware campaign.
If you utilize Python as a programming language during software development activities, you might know about Python Package Index (PyPI). This is the official repository for Python packages and is essentially the place where pandas, numpy, seaborn, matplotlib, and other libraries are downloaded from when you run pip install libraryname. Now, in a move that may surprise many, PyPI has blocked new user registrations in an attempt to defend itself against a recent malware campaign.
How to use your GPU in Jupyter Notebook
Speed up your machine learning algorithms by running them on your graphics card in Jupyter Notebook
If you’re unfamiliar with it, Jupyter Notebook is a powerful IDE that lets you create scripts for data analysis, web scraping, machine learning, and tons of other use cases. For the average coder who's into data science, Jupyter Notebook serves as the perfect companion as it lets you create interactive documents for everything from jotting down notes to compiling complex codes. While this IDE can be installed on pretty much any modern laptop, you're going to have a tough time if you try to train AI algorithms on a CPU.
How to uninstall Python on macOS
