what are you talking about ?

Kind of agree, but in my view preventing the programmer to make mistakes is futile. I have seen awful stuff in languages made to prevent errors. It's much better to give all the power to the programmer, to allow him to fix his mistakes

IMHO surveillance is a problem when it is asymmetric ; which is obviously the case here. Governments for example are watching everyone inside and outside, but the people that are being monitored simply cannot really watch the people watchin

Agreed for cheaper prices and more flexibility. At least this is what we think we want. But do we actually want it ? A computer 40 years ago was way more expensive than now. How did people do it ? They managed. How do we do it now ? We man

Personally, it depends. If I could automate taking the trash out, I would do probably want to do it (not sure though). But what remains when everything is automated ? Well, so far we have been automating many things, and we are still busy w

For this I use gron [0]. It's very convenient. [0]: https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron

This looks neat. However since I read about Koka's dot selection [0], I keep thinking that this is an even neater syntax: fun showit( s : string ) s.encode(3).count.println However, this is of course impossible to implement in m

I built a small static web app [0] (with svelte and tensorflow js) that shows gradient descent. It has two kind of problems: wave (the default) and linear. In the first case, the algorithm learns y = ax + b ; in the second, y = cos(ax + b).

Vaping is way less harmful than smoking. See e.g. the study [0] conducted by Public Health England that concludes vaping is at least 95% (!) less harmful than smoking. See also this video [1] that shows graphically the different impact it h

> 5. Many of my current projects take the form of "big data pipeline, followed by intermittent job to rebuild a static site and push it live"; astro fits very nicely in this role You may be interested in Observable Framework [0

In this case `d` is the entire dataframe. It's just a way of "piping" the object without having to rename it. You are probably thinking about `df.apply(lambda row: ..., axis=1)` which operates on each row at a time and is ind

Agreed 100%. I am using this method-chaining style all the time and it works like a charm.

This is possible to do with ipywidgets [0] and all the ipy[stuff] packages. bqplot [1] for example is great for 2D dataviz, very responsive and updates real-time. Based on D3 I believe. Usually I can do what I want with base widgets and bqp

I'm using Quarto [0], pretty happy with my blog [1]. Before it was made with Zola [2], which is also nice. [0] https://quarto.org/ [1] https://blog.horaceg.xyz/ [2] https://www.getzola.org&#

I love Vega(-lite) / Altair, the grammar of graphics plotting system is really great to build any kind of chart even when it wasn't thought through by the authors of the library. There are other wrappers for languages that lack vi

For conda there is mamba [0], a drop-in replacement that's really fast. By the way, the creator of mamba started his own company at https://prefix.dev/ They want to essentially leverage the conda(-forge) infrastructure

Interesting pivot from the Observable team. I loved observable and wrote a couple of notebooks, it worked great ! I'm gonna try Framework asap !

Looks cool ! Makes me think of Voila [0], in my opinion one of the most powerful solutions to build interactive app with python. It requires Jupyter notebook, IPywidgets and e.g. BQPlot. [0] https://voila.readthedocs.io/en&#

I used the same [0], however wkhtmltopdf stopped working correctly at some point, so I am stuck printing the pdf manually with chrome at the moment. Probably an update that broke some stuff. [0] https://blog.horaceg.xyz/post
