I liked the pipelining syntax so much from pyspark and linq that I ended up implementing my own mini linq-like library for python to use in local development. It's mainly used in q…

please do update us

What did you do to improve?

Swift for all its niceties still suffers from a habit of inherently tying its conventions to Apple and its "appleisms" when coding. Tasks that should be relatively straightforward …

Meanwhile a man from the Westerdam cruise ship, where one passenger already tested positive, escapes quarantine, books ubers, and multiple flights, is arriving back in Seattle: htt…

As someone who has done frontend dev on the web, I find SwiftUI refreshingly good. Using SwiftUI is the first time ui programming on iOS has clicked for me. For anyone getting into…

I stated that rather than explainability, for most use cases, people just want calibrated and robust uncertainty estimates NOT low quality and uncalibrated uncertainties estimates.…

That's an interesting idea and I get the motivation. I often wonder if we're already able explain predictions. There are things like gradcam to determine which inputs caused which …

I agree with Yann here ... I think the demand for explainability is like a person asking for a "faster horse" when what they really need is a car. When people ask for explainable m…

Absolutely agree with this. Another nice illustration of how when arrival rate is greater than departure rate we get overflowing queues: http://setosa.io/blog/2014/09/02/gridlock/i…

Wow, I just read through the documentation for the Nix package manager and it's a breath of fresh air...Source based builds but with the convenience of pre-compiled binaries hashed…

To get around the problem of child subprocesses spewing out too much output and blocking the parent process, one can provide an open file handle to the stdout/stderr arguments of t…

We're also looking into getting a designer for our site, I'd be interested in hearing how you managed the project. When you started with your designer, how did you convey the type …

We used this technique once in one of our twisted servers to quickly fix in-memory data structures that had been loaded from old sources. Recently, my team has been developing most…

If you liked Kernighan and Ritchie's "The C Programming Language", then you'll love "Programming In Lua". The first edition is available online here: http://www.lua.org/pil/ Like K…

Part of me thinks this is a genius marketing ploy. Seriously, outside of the few remaining die-hard fans, who even knew that Duke Nukem forever was still being developed? I certain…

I've been using http://tablib.org/ for awhile now to read in tabular data. With this summary fn and a few other functions to simplify the process of aggregating data into useful vi…

Hey Guys, This is my blog. FWIW, I've actually switched away from using the script mentioned in the link posted by OP and have moved towards using an improved version below. http:/…

We're also using Twisted a lot at my company, IQ Engines. It's powerful and has done a pretty good job for us so far. I just wish the documentation, which is crucial for getting ne…

It seems like this could be a good opportunity for us to make good use of newly available technologies. Not exactly sure how it would work yet but a Distributed DNS system could be…

I've always felt that autojump's "jump" command could be hit or miss when you had directories with similar paths. Because of this, I wrote a tool for myself to quickly jump around …

wanted to upvote nearlyfreespeech. Even though being a registrar is not their main business, their site is a no-bs godsend for managing your domains. My only wish is that they had …

I initially looked at languages like clojure, but the slow load times of the JVM put me off. Now that you mentioned gcj, I found this note from Rich Hickey: http://groups.google.co…

Setting aside the obvious grandaddy of cross-platform compiled languages, C, what would you use if you had to quickly create a suite of commandline utilities that had to work on se…

Hey reinvent, Send me an email (see the link in my profile) . I can help you get up to speed with Django, real-time systems, and the web industry if you can teach me something valu…
