I'm moving the opposite direction: Altair -> Plotly. I find altair to be too "grammar of graphics" for its own good. And the vega backend makes it hard to hack around. Saving to pdf or high-quality also takes extra steps w

They say "art deco is for dwarves while art nouveau is for elves." Forgot where it came from.

Highly recommend playing Pentiment. Good mystery adventure set in the backdrop of medieval Bavaria. Large part of the story happens in a monastery (and the surrounding town).

I also see a use-case for reading long fiction books. Recently, I've been reading Stormlight Archives (Book 3) on and off and there are times when I want to remember why character X did Y or what that epigraph means, etc.

I'm looking at the Fediverse explorer and I'm curious how to interpret the embeddings (or the distances between points). What does it mean when two instances are near each other (e.g., sigmoid.social and mastodon-belgium.be)? Is i

Same. How do you use pylint for unit testing? I only use it in my IDE.

Hi runjake, author here! Not sure what you meant by the Twitter feed? Doing this since 2017 and it's still fun so far! Hope that helps :)

My daily driver (Lamy 2000) has a piston converter and I find its capacity quite large, i.e., I need to refill it every week or so. Cartridges are great too, but I seem stuck with a few options. Lany cartridges are great but it's the o

I do something similar, but I use the Jesuit's Daily Examen as a guide/prompt [1]. You can strip it with only the secular stuff and the pattern becomes the same: what you're grateful for, what worries you, what you want to im

Good for you, but I don't think it's fair to pass judgment on someone's situation without knowing the whole picture.

I also wrote an explainer for VQGAN here: https://ljvmiranda921.github.io/notebook/2021/08/08/clip-vqg... to coincide with the growing interest in these models

Yeah I can imagine this a bit useful when writing literature reviews. I type a sentence then a sidebar on the right suggests papers from your Zotero pile, Google Scholar, etc. Of course writing literature reviews is often a long process: co

At first I thought Artificial Life (ALife) here is about cellular automata, soft robotics, etc. Turns out it's not...or is it? I am curious to know if ALife is actually heading into the territory mentioned by this article.

How will this affect the MLOps Community Webinars? Afaik dotscience plays a big role supporting it. It’s a good and vibrant community, and I’m learning a lot from the webinars as a practitioner. It’d be sad to see if it goes as well

Where are you basing these claims? I do pixel art, and dithering + anti-aliasing are one of the fundamental techniques in this medium. It’s widely-employed that there are so many beginner tutorials that teach these methods (I highly recomme

Hi author here, definitely didn't intend and expected that! I'm mostly drawing from my own experience and that insight while ordering food inside Mcdo.

Hi, author here! Pleasantly surprised I saw this on HN, thanks for posting feross! Sorry for the Mcdonalds analogy, it's just that it's really near our office and I got that insight while ordering McNuggets! Didn't expect it

I once wrote a framework for simulating GoL in Python: https://github.com/ljvmiranda921/seagull I names it Seagull because “Conway’s Game of Life” => CGoL, lol so playful. The day before Conway passed, I was playing
