Last time I (kinda halfway / didn't) learned frontend it was react-create-app. Before that webpack. And before that grunt. You do not need a framework if you really know CSS and HTML5 well, but that is exactly "knowing the wh

Yeah I am very much looking forward to that. Over the last 10 years I have made a couple of hundreds of designs in FreeCAD that I have manufactured in smal scale - with FDM/SLA/SLS 3d printing, CO2/fiber laser, and CNC millin

The virtual world parts such as video and 3d, and plausible physics, I think we are going to do as well as image/audio/text within the next 10 years. Maybe even 5. These things primarily need to be believable and mostly-not-direct

I wish projects would be more strategic around acceptance rates on drivers/plugins contra core. On plugins etc one should have much lower barriers to contributions, compared to on the core. It is actually one of the primary reasons why

Is it a goal to ship this project? If so, has it shipped yet? If not, then center on the _minimum_ needed to ship. And focus solely on that.

Variables are lexically scoped. Additionally, to _assign_ to an outer/global variable, one needs to use the nonlocal/global keyword. Otherwise one will get a new local variable. Variables in a module are also namespaced to that mo

Stopping to consider it a science means giving up. Instead we should improve the scientific level of the field, including (but not limited to) reproducibility.

I work a lot with IoT data, where basically everything is multi-variate time-series from multiple devices (at different physical locations and logical groupings). Pandas multi index is very nice for this, at least having time+space in the i

Note that the post is from 2017, and pandas now has (optional) support for PyArrow backed dataframes. So there is movement away from the critiques that were presented there.

A bit of a mix to be honest. The practical/technical aspects of the platform is good. There is some basic quality checking (and guidance) of mentors - good without being onerous. And the 1-on-1 experiences I have had were good. But I f

https://Codementor.io is a platform designed for exactly that. I am registered as a mentor there, though not so active. I have not used it as a mentee, so cannot vouch for the process or mentor pool though. AI is very broad, wha

GitHub having a separate Discussions board might accelerate 1) over time. There it is more encouraged to ask more open ended questions than on Issues, and they explicitly have Q&A type features like marking as answered.

Those wedding photos sounds like they are all about the bragging rights. And most likely actually going there, will continue to have much higher bragging rights. Might even get even higher if (AI) simulations become widespread.

It does give them some ammo for low-brow dismissal of the entire field of science. Which the more extreme may use to convince the more reasonable people. Even though the argument is rarely done in good faith, we do need some strategy for de

Expert systems redux? Being able to provide the expertise in form of plain written English (or another language), will at least make it much more feasible to build them up. And it can also meaningfully be consumed by a human. If it works w

If we are going to bring cost into it, then digital pianos are superior in term of tuning (one might argue about other aspects of sound and feel). Same tuning every time, no adjustment needed.
