No analogy is perfect. They are intended to help illustrate a concept to gain insight. Ideally when using an analogy its limits should also be described. Luckily the very first link after the analogy is explained does just that: http:&#x2F

The difference is simple: NBC was (and still is) free to watch if you have a television and an antenna.

My understanding was that if you write a regular function (`def` rather than `async def`) then FastAPI (or really Starlette which it uses under the hood) executes the function in a thread pool so that no blocking of the main event loop shou

If for no other reason, pytest requires a lot less boilerplate. Pytest fixtures are also quite a bit more flexible than unittest's setUp and tearDown methods, although they take a little while to really understand (at least they did fo

Matplotlib's main API is pretty terrible. But it's just fine for the simple plots that scientists and engineers are often needing (e.g., just plot y vs. x). It's also pretty straightforward to get publication-quality plots. B

Cython is intended for making Python extension modules. So if the end goal is to make something that you interact with only from Python, then Cython is a good choice. You can still use it to simply wrap some existing library, but ctypes or

I was a loyal Gnuplot user for many years until I got fed up with a bug where tick labels wouldn't be centered with ticks in LaTeX output without some manual hacks. I can see from one of the posts that this issue still exists. Plus it

I don't know, and I find this rather frustrating. I write a lot of tools to monitor devices in the lab via a web interface and often want to see updates every 10-100 ms. The only library I have found that seems to be up to the task is

I was using tmux for a while after years of using screen. At least for my use case, the main thing I liked better about tmux was that windows (or whatever the proper term is) get their names updated based on the command running. In screen,

And yet we keep measuring what our models predict to extremely high levels of precision. We know there is something missing (gravity not playing nicely with quantum theory being the most obvious example), but it has worked remarkably well w
