Aww snap - guess I'll go back to programming everything in nano then.

#22It often causes a double-take for me when I see projects on HN with the same name as projects I once worked on.
Way back in time, maybe around 1998, a friend an I worked on a steganography tool that we called Spyder. I don't remember where it was published or under what license (probably freeware), but the algorithm was incorporated into Hide4PGP (http://www.heinz-repp.onlinehome.de/Hide4PGP.htm), and we stopped work on it.
This post just caused a bit of nostalgia. I can still remember my co-developer taking a break jamming on a bass guitar while we tried to figure out the striping problem (the solution was to compress the data to increase entropy first).

#23The variable explorer is much better than the one PyCharm has, for example. Of course, Pycharm has many other tools and a much better interface (Spyders scaling is grgrgrgrgr). But for scientific data work? Spyder is great!
Oh boy, I can't even get spyder to move between two of my monitors because it always complains about scaling and then I can't get the popup to consistently not show up

Guess I’m junior then. I learned how to code via scientific coding so I love Spyder for its simplicity. When I want to work deeply on a difficult problem and want to quickly flesh out ideas it’s my go to because it sandboxes really well and I can iterate much faster in it. I use more advanced IDE when integrating the code I developed in Spyder into a larger code base. I’m sure many will criticize my workflow but I’ve…
Which advanced IDE? Eclipse?

#25The RStudio equivalent for Python. Last used this so many years ago, and from the screenshots little seems to have changed.
RStudio supports Python these days. I use it daily and it’s really enjoyable.
I think they ought to call it DataStudio bc it’s multilanguage.

#27Can I get the following behavior from Spyder (last time I tried I couldn't find a way) - for some keyboard shortcut like Cmd/Ctrl + Enter: - the shortcut sends the selected code to the terminal (this is possible) - if I hit the shortcut when nothing is selected, the line where the cursor currently is gets sent to the terminal and the cursor moves to the next line of code - if the cursor is at the beginning of a block…
You can define code cells in Spyder and execute them with a shortcut. I’m on an older version, but for me it’s “# In[]” to start a code block, then shift-enter to execute. -Edit: to clarify, that string starts a code block, which continues until end of file or you designate another block.
Executing the current line or the selected lines is just F9.

#28Jupiter Notebook is Mathematica, Spyder is MATLAB.

#29Spyder is great. More minimalist than Pycharm, but it actually allows you to run multiple Python consoles in parallel, which is strangely absent from Pycharm.

#30I like spyder a lot for the variable explorer, which makes it feel more like Matlab. However the constant bothering about installing Kite got annoying. Unfortunately there isn't a way to use Kite and have it not constantly annoy you about upgrading to the enterprise edition. If Kite had a no ads plan for like ~ $10 a year it would make a lot more sense to integrate it in spyder.
Not to be trite, but there is a github repo and the license is MIT. I'd guess it's possible to find the relevant nag code (possibly in its own github commit), strip it out, and recompile.
Edit. maybe this is what you're talking about? https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/commit/6b602af50f632cf6...
