I think if you have the title "I build X kernel operating systems for fun" as a resume headline, you are in high demand regardless of X.

Don't anaphoric macros [1] provide an alternative solution to this problem? Though they seem cool I can see how introducing a magic variable can result in unreadable code... - [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anap

I really like this. A while ago I was prepping for programming interviews and thought it would be fun to make some videos demonstrating some programming concepts [1] due to my perception that there was a lack of material linking code with v

I'm glad you found a workflow that works for you. I'd be interested in hearing about what it looks like.

Interesting thoughts about Software 2.0 IDEs at the end. A desirable property of such a tool (I think) is having a short feedback loop. However, it seems to me that common changes would include re-labeling a significant portion of your data

I think so and that's the goal of my tool (do a Ctrl-f for pynt on this page - I don't want to spam the link too many times). This functionality is also present (somewhat) in pycharm where you can attach a jupyter console to any r

Interesting approach. I hadn't thought of using a single notebook to adjust the scope and enter into functions. I my tool I take a one-function one-notebook approach because that's how I did it by hand for a long time.

I have built several dashboards with nothing but jupyter notebooks + jupyter widgets [1] with the help of jupyter-dashboards [2]. Granted they were little more than api calls followed by visualizations. - [1] http://jupyter.org&#

If you connect your code buffer to an jupyter notebook via Emacs IPython Notebook [1] then you can hit C-c C-o (ein:console-open) which will launch a jupyter REPL. - [1] https://github.com/millejoh/emacs-ipython-noteboo

Yes Emacs IPython Notebook is alive and kicking [1]. I recently wrote a tool on top of it and found most everything to work, even as I was banging on it pretty hard at times. - [1] https://github.com/millejoh/emacs-ipyt

I think there is a lot of merit to what you say here. For example, one of the strongest realizations I had while using an interactive programming tool was while hacking on a 30-50 line function I wrote. In the process I thought to myself &q

> Programming in the debugger is a massively overlooked paradigm. I wonder if the tool I mentioned in [1] facilitates the workflow you have in mind? It promotes a workflow of setting a breakpoint at the beginning of a function, attach a

Agreed. Indeed, the original punchline I had for pynt (the tool I linked above) was "Jupyter notebooks for software engineers". The idea being that software engineers might look at jupyter notebooks and think "they look cool,

> Interactive editing and debugging is limited to top-level code. Very true. When programming in jupyter notebooks I often put off wrapping my code in a function because it becomes harder to interact with and debug. But this obviously be

Thank you! I tried to google how to do this some time ago with no success! However it looks like it only works with emacs editing mode (set -o emacs). Is there a way to do this in vim editing mode (set -o vi)? Also it doesn't appear to

You can do the same thing in IPython/jupyter with ?? e.g. np.unique??

I watched a video by Lennart Poettering years ago on systemd and he pronounced it dah-men, which I thought was pretty slick. Though I still prefer to pronounce it "demon", mostly because that's how my undergrad system adminis

Videos are dynamic. They are the closest medium currently we can get to pretending we're inside the presenter's head in real time (I'm thinking of khan-academy style videos). To experience how an expert solves a problem and t

Videos (and talks for that matter) are good a giving a quick over and showing you what is possible (i.e. getting you into a position where you know what you don't know). Books are good ways to dive deep into things you already know you

This is fair. For someone that just wants to edit text in an efficient way and doesn't want to tweak/tailor their editor vanilla vim is a good choice.

One word - spacemacs. It's emacs with vim bindings. You get all the editing goodness of vim with the extensibility of emacs. Spacemacs has won the editors war.

The biggest game-changer for me in converting/sticking with emacs was finding out I can edit remote files with my local emacs via TRAMP ( https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode ). No more logging into remote mach

I'm working on this very thing right now as a side-project. It unrolls functions, if statements, for/while loops, etc and uses jupyter notebooks to do so AND allows you to interact with the result. Kind of like an interactive log.

Anyone use either eshell or shell mode in emacs? tramp-mode alone has been a huge boost to my overall satisfaction.

I think the answer is that such a language would be overly verbose. You could ask the same question about human language and the same answer applies.

Ah thanks for the recommendation. For what it's worth I was using the evil-mode smartparens layer bundled with spacemacs.

by meken 9y ago
YMMV but for what it's worth I became frustrated with smartparens when I couldn't figure out how to do something very simple. I think it was traversing down into the next sexp. I got different behavior when my cursor was right up
