Yes, no X placeholder. And at the moment you cannot pipe to arbitrary functions, Python limitations. I'll get around this by providing a helper function e.g df >> call(pd.dropna, axis=1)

I think how you attribute the surprise matters. The order of discoveries brought forth a conventional story that stood for a seemingly long time. Now that story may need to be re-examined. There is a difference between the discovery & s

In many cases, the use of multi-indexes in Pandas is (I think) a result of culture/style or expectation that the cells of a dataframe should have scalar values. If that would change and it became common to have nested dataframes, the u

I had a similar issue. I had to read a certain piece of R code and it used a lot of dplyr, I read the dplyr documentation and I immediately felt more comfortable manipulating data in R than in Python. Later on I created https://g

If you know what kind of short analysis you want to do, the benefits of Jupyter are not obvious. If you have to do a lot of exploration, and do longer analyses then it becomes indispensable.

Seaborn is not lacking in any way, it has a goal and it accomplishes it. However, I think Seaborn would have been easier to create if it had been based on a grammar based package, a few caveats not withstanding.

There are a few concepts to learn. With a grammar, you can create plots in 5 minutes that would take an hour to create using "the standard syntax". For many people once they experience it, they do not want to go back. You could be

I use a plugin ranger.vim [1]. Although it works for plain VIM, it is very clunky, since ranger is opened with a !command you get a blocking terminal. The nesting really is tmux -> Shell -> Nvim -> Ranger. https://githu
