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 po…

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 b…

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 di…

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 …

Never heard of this joke, very funny !

A while ago, I was wondering if I should buy a home. Then I tried to understand how mortgage loan work, and what the interest rate represents. A few hours later, this (static) web …

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…

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 a…

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 thi…

> 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 Y…

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)` wh…

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 bel…

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.get…

I built a gradient descent visualizer in js with Svelte and TensorflowJS [0]. Also wrote about it in my blog [1]. [0] https://gradfront.pages.dev/ [1] https://blog.horaceg.xyz/post…

Same here. _I already am eating from the trash can all the time_ https://youtu.be/oBcFLmu_tlc

So I'm a ping-pong ball, good to know

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. T…

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 lev…

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