CRDT looks interesting. To share not just the results visible in the org file, a remote jupyter notebook could be used. https://github.com/emacs-jupyter/jupyter

Data point: pyenv works just fine for me. It helps me with installing/managing many python versions (multiple years). I guess, I'm in the "expert" category. I'm saying it so that people won't be afraid to tr

There are people who are not native English speakers. They might find Unicode useful.

stdlib behavior may be more preferable: - resolving "../" may have security implications - unicode hostname seems more readable. To get punycode, one can call .encode("idna") if necessary. How often parsing urls is

The same can be said about google and more specifically about stackoverflow: you can't just mindlessly copy-paste. It is a tool that can be useful both for a beginner and more experienced developers.

It is not either or. Use Python where it is strong, and execute SQL queries from Python where appropriate. Python as a glue language is one of its strong sides.

What is wrong suggesting an alternative approach that makes the solution more readable? Using an appropriate DSL for the problem may be useful. In Python: df.to_sql('purchases', db, index=False) print(*db.execute(query))

It looks like llm hallucinated the query that doesn't group by country to get the median. Here's version generated after asking to fix it: SELECT p.country, SUM(p.amount - p.discount) AS total FROM purchases p JOIN (

It is not about human language being imprecise. I can formulate the questions using the math language precisely with the exact same result (different number of roots are possible for different formulations of the problem for the same &quot

Why not SQL for pure declarative queries? Here's llm-hallucinated sql query of the polars example: SELECT country, SUM(amount - discount) AS total FROM purchases WHERE amount <= ( SELECT MEDIAN(amount) * 10

There is a cost in trying to force the language to find bugs for you. More is not always better. Unlike a linter, ignoring false positives from a compiler requires more work to work around them. Not having exceptions in the language creates

It is funny: usually, Java is used as a prime example why checked exceptions are bad.

REPL is kind of the point: did you try to type and run any of the examples in the tutorial? Just skimming it would be less useful (for the very basics). If you already know everything in the tutorial, then try a project in Python that y

I saw it here, perhaps, in articles about competitions where both humans and computers were allowed (computers-only teams won). I too can’t find anything relevant on google.

Iterators can be shared in Python e.g., here's a well-known grouper recipe (traverse `it` iterator in chunks of `N` items each): zip(*[it]*N) Example: >>> L = [1, 2, 3, 4] >>> *zip(*[iter(L)]*2),
