In general, I find that compilers, transpilers, etc. are all just "interpreters", which conceptually just boil down to a given input being "re-interpreted" into a new representatio…

Imho this is a non-issue. Python's max-function isn't limited to numerical values, but can consume iterables of anything with a defined order, i.e., things that implement the appro…

A while back I attempted to write a brainfuck interpreter in Python with similar restrictions. It was great fun! https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/206450

Sometimes this may be the case but not so much here. Firstly the mention the version they used and, secondly, OtterTune are a startup based around automatic DB steup/schema optimiz…

From my personal experience, David Beazley's Talks/Tutorials on the matter are very enlightening.

A good starting point might be Hy [0]. Its claim to fame is being a LISP embedded in Python. [0]: https://github.com/hylang/hy

This is not strictly true. Python expressions are in fact Turing complete. For example, you can implement an entire Brainfuck interpreter [0] in a single expression. [0] https://gi…

It may be "close[r] to the data", but be ware Python UDFs usually still have context switches between the python interpreter and the query executor. If these pile up — as is the ca…

Not to nitpick, but do you mean the pattern matching statement when you are talking about "sum types"? Because as far as I'm aware Python doesn't have " proper" algebraic data type…

In situations like this you could use `git stash` instead of completely deleting it.

To be quite honest: I don't think there is anything along those lines. But if want to tackle it I recommend looking for PDF copy of Types and Programming Languages by Benjamin C. P…

This looks cool. If you want to delve deeper intob symbolic computation you can have a look at sympy [0]. It seems to be the "defacto standard" when it comes to Python libraries fo…

This may seem like a minor nitpick but it's something that popped out at me: italisizing a font shouldn't add or remove serifs. There is a reason why Unicode defines both sans- and…

Iirc the argument bind this would be along then lines oft precendes. I.e., you didn't defend your TM against person A so why are you sueing person B.

I don't know when Portugal started this, but in Germany there is at least the concept of a "grüne Well" (literally a green wave). Simply put: if you drive at the speed limit you wo…

Very cool! I'd love to do some bytecode rewriting magic for some of my projects as well, but alas it only works for statements/expressions that are legal python syntax. :/

I've added some images and a disclaimer to the readme. In case you still want to see the proper results. ;)

Sadly (or luckily?) I don't know anyone who has/uses/has to use a braille display. But I think that if the "reader"/viewer doesn't know from the get go that the following character…

Very cool! :D I also thought about adding color support via ANSI escape sequences, but for this project I decided against using them to keep things simple a widely accessible.

Though python has a massive set of " included batteries ", simple images aren't included in those. This makes me very sad sometimes and I usually just fall back to simple BMP files…

Similar characters actually exist in unicode as well irrc. ...On a side note, I think you kickstarted me down the path of abstracting the drawing algorithms and implicit matrix pro…

Very nice! I was thinking of adding something akin to this as well, at least in terms of image dithering. :) But I'm still torn as the well behaved python programmer in me wants to…

I thought I remembered seeing something similar a while back... This explains it! Thanks for the info. :D
