I don’t really know, sorry. There are a lot of moving pieces as the company grows (we are hiring) and the interplay between the pure consulting, open source work, growing the Venture fund is dynamic.

PostgreSQL has a number of companies providing support, the db is free and open source. Ray is offered for free, Anyscale provides support. Quansight offers qhub for free and provides support. Those are just a few off the top of my head. Di

A bit if a generalisation. For a different view: currently almost all the core devs for NumPy and SciPy (those are the ones I know personally) have doctorates.

I get that python is under 30% of your profiled time, but just wondering if you tried PyPy?

There are thousands of startups. Are you generalising some bad actors to characterise an entire segment?

Sorry to hear that. What were the sticking points?

This is the best place to become familiar with the tools and to set the stage for your journey. Then find a problem you want to solve, and find more domain specific resources. Some people learn best from tutorials, some from video, some fro

I created an issue [0] to address this. Could you add a microbenchmark that demonstrates the problem? [0] https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/pypy/-/issues/3373

PyPy already supports ARM64. This is additional work needed to support macOS 11 on M1. Apple changed some things that impact PyPy, like the register uses and ffi calling conventions. They updated clang to handle this, but PyPy's JIT em

For those asking "who uses PyPy?": the truth is that very few people using it get back to us and say how it helps them or what they are doing with it. For instance crossbar.io uses it [0]. Some shops use it as a second step until

So DataCamp is reinstating the CEO who was forced out after an inappropriate reaction to inappropriate behavour? The episode was bad enough that at least two people refuse to teach there anymore. Here is one previous hacker news discussion

Riptable can only distribute at the low level of primitives it sees, so it must split tasks and collect results at the level of single function calls. Dask builds up graphs of operations on a higher level. There are advantages and disadvant

Why not go to the source? https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/absolute_beginners.html Is there something wrong there? We (NumPy) would love to get feedback and improve it. This would be a natural “next step” https:&#x

The real value of NumPy is that it sets the standard for what we expect in an array processing interface. Of course NumPy did not invent the idea, it builds on many others, but it is the de facto standard for what we expect. In time, anothe

If you are running an app that is basically a UI layer over a database, where would you expect significant failures to occur? The users are already debugging possible problems with git locally by simply using it, so UI-database interactions

Nice. Over at #pypy on IRC we would love to hear about the use case since we rarely get to showcase positive results

Zenhub also wants read-write to all public and private repos. Why do apps think this is OK? Why can’t I give them only access to the group/repo using zenhub?

PyPy put up a prototype and proposal to deliver a GILless python for $100,000. No one took us up on the offer. It is still open. https://morepypy.blogspot.com/2017/08/lets-remove-global-int...
