The tabula-py Python library, a wrapper around tabula( https://tabula.technology/ ), can extract tables within PDFs and convert them to Pandas DataFrames. It's a great little library and this is a blog showcasing an exam

Did you see all of the side effects from the vaccine vs the placebo? Here it is in percentages: * Redness 5.8 vs 1.1 * Swelling 6.9 vs 1 * Pain 86 vs 23 * Fever 10 vs 1 * Fatigue 60 vs 46 * Headache 55 vs 35 * Chills 28 vs 10 * Vomiting 3 v

Seychelles has vaccinated 68.5k of its 98.5k population. [Around 25% of its total population]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Seychelles ) are 0-17, so maybe 75k max 18+. Over 90% of adults are vaccinated

I saw that you doubled down on [this comment]( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26181228 ). Week 5 excess mortality for 65+ in Israel is now up to 7.4 times above normal. It increased every update for the last three weeks

"Only 27% of the population received both doses". This is a misinterpretation. It's like saying 0.5% die of covid. The vaccinations (and fatality rates) are extremely stratified by age. Over 50% of the 70+ group received at l

You spoke too soon and I hope you issue a correction. The last week of euroMOMO isn't nearly fully updated. All countries see an enormous drop in the last week that is then pulled back up to the actual level in the following weeks of r

So you admit that total case numbers are not very good, particularly compared to a neighboring country that has not started vaccinating. Thats a good first step. Scapegoating the orthodox jews? More than 92% of 70+ in Israel have received b

Does it also make sense that they are currently ranked #2 in the world in cases per million in the last week for countries with more that 1 million population? This is even after a down week in cases. Next door Lebanon is seeing cases fall

Excess mortality for the elderly in Israel in the last 6 weeks is the highest it's been (by far) in the last 5 years. Check euroMOMO https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/

Israel is experiencing very high excess deaths with respect to its elderly in 2021 (see euroMOMO https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/ ) This is despite over 80% of its 70+ age group having both doses of the vaccine.

No one was deliberately inoculated with the virus and only symptomatic people were tested. 99.96% of the placebo group did not have a severe case of covid. There is no way to determine effectiveness from this trial.

I'm surprised so many people are excited about this. I have many concerns with the Pfizer vaccine * 99.96% of the placebo group did not have a serious case of covid * 99.25% of the placebo group did not get covid * No one in the trial

Covid will be in our rear view mirror before a vaccine is safe, ready, mass produced and easily distributed. Herd immunity is not terribly far away in most countries and by the spring the threshold should be reached nearly everywhere. A vac

Correct, I'd like dexplot to be a superset of seaborn first, making it much easier to use for those that don't want to dip into matplotlib for making minor adjustments that are necessary for most plots (figsize, ticklabels, etc..)

Labels do not overlap and HTML tables are now fixed in the docs.

The data is the same. Dexplot automatically sorts the xtick labels alphabetically. Seaborn uses order of appearance. For the seaborn plot, the figure size and dpi have to be manually adjusted and there is no option to wrap the tick labels.

Thanks! I'm focused on building the user-facing API, as this is where I believe I'm best suited to make improvements due to my experience teaching and writing. I'm definitely open to looking at alternative backends in the fut

Technically, there was a new "major" release with version 0.10, but it was just some bug fixes and the same as 0.9.1. The last release with anything new was in July of 2018. Given the rate of the last several releases, I don'

Thanks! The whole goal of dexplo and dexplot is to provide a much simpler and more consistent alternative to pandas/seaborn. I find pandas especially cumbersome to work with. I haven't had time to develop dexplo much, but am hopin

Hey everyone, I'm the author of Dexplot. I have written large sections of books on seaborn, have taught it in classes for years, and had many issues with it, some of which are outlined below: • Not allowed to set figure size • No wrapp
