You have Anaconda packaging world vs PyPI. You have pyproject.toml for project management, which is not supported by Anaconda or the flagship documentation generation tool: Sphynx. You have half a dozen of package installers, none of them

It's a no-go at this point, if you want this on MS Windows. CGo on MS Windows uses MinGW, while CPython uses MSVC. It's very hard to make this work due to name mangling. I.e. you can do this for Python from MSYS2, for example, b

To me, it looks, like this is contingent on the kind of product they need to support. For instance, in storage business, L2 support are often paid more than developers (and are very hard to find!) They usually come from the development si

Regardless of the language, I found that the fastest (but not necessarily the least painful) way to learn a language is to join a project written in that language and try to contribute. This accomplishes multiple goals at the same time: se

Oh, I thought about a better analogy: the information about ingredients and temperature is about as useful for a good dish as the information about the volume of paints is useful for making a good painting.

So, here's my background: printing and publishing. I studied to make books, worked in printing houses, newspapers, before I turned into a programmer. But that was after I managed to land a "proper" job. Before then, I work

I don't see why saying that Facebook's tools are bad should be invalidated by saying that Google's or others' tools are bad too. Google being bad doesn't vindicate or improve Facebook tools. There's no need f

Ha! I had to read that in the 8th grade. At first it was very confusing, because I thought I for some reason got a book in French. But then I just skipped to the part where it started in Russian. Later, after a discussion in class, I got

Yes. I tried it. And, eh... it's documentation + code (you can publish code + documentation as a textbook, poem, blog post, Website just as well). No need to exaggerate. It's also very inconvenient to write, for zero benefits.

I think, you completely missed the point... I compared Jupyter notebooks to shell sessions: it doesn't make them bad (they are, however, but for a different reason). I don't think that shell sessions are bad. The point I'm m

Jupyter is not the end of the story here. There are plenty of "extensions". These extensions go, generally, down two different ways: kernels and magic. It's not very common for Jupyter magic to be added ad hoc by users, but

I've been that person, and no it doesn't. It makes my life suck, if I have to include a notebook instead of an actual program in a larger program. Notebooks don't compose well, they are too dependent on the specifics of the

I have to disagree... Literate programming is still programming: it produces programs (but with an extra effort of writing documentation up-front). Jupyter is a tool to do some exploratory interactive programming. Most notebooks I've

This is solving the problem with the wrong tool. What you need is documentation. But people working on the project you have to maintain didn't write one. So, you are trying to use git blame, astrology and ouija board to guess what t
