Interesting effort. Did you check out sites like python-tutor.com (sp?), repl.it, PythonAnywhere, etc.? I don’t mean for feature parity, but just to get feature and flow ideas. There are more like those that I don't remember right now

I guessed the meaning (with a little French vocabulary knowledge), then checked with Google Translate, and my guess was right. It means: Thanks for the explanation, I think it's very clear in English. https://translate.goog

The book "Writing Efficient Programs", by Jon Bentley, is still a valuable resource. See the short subthread starting with a comment I posted here some years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13407192 A fe

Okay, either me or the ref. may have been wrong. but I distinctly remember "Veert", because it was non-intuitive to me (as the way to pronounce Wirth), as a guy who didn't know any German at the time, only English. So the re

Here is an earlier comment subthread by me, on an earlier HN thread on the same general topic, as I said I've done, above. It mentions Gabe, Elaine, and a few others, including Geoff Lawton, permaculture pioneer, who are doing good wo

Yes. I keep sharing Gabe Brown's three-part video series titled Treating the Farm as an Ecosystem, now and then, here on HN, whenever such threads come up. Some really solid practical and pragmatic stuff there, on regenerative agricult
