Very cool library. I like the goal of Excel support (it truly is an incredible platform). A couple of questions: 1) Any plans for programmatic manipulation of pivot tables? Looking across the Python ecosystem, outside of xlwings (which esse

Why is it being compared to an M1 rather than M2/M3? I think I can imagine the answer but it's disappointing.

Great read. If you are not going to take VC money, then I think this attitude should absolutely be the default approach unless you've got a proven reason not to. There is a large world to be tapped outside of VC funded category leaders

If you're interested in a couple of examples of artists that use Sonic Pi, I found out about DJ_Dave [1] a while back and think her stuff is a great example of a talented, competent musician using the tool well. She did an AMA [2] on R

How would a wealth tax solve a problem caused government management of interest rates and active management of money supply?

Very cool. The pieces you put together make sense, but I have to ask -- why use Node-RED over Jupyter notebook for prototyping? It seems like your reason is that it gives you access to a suitably flexible low code environment that lets you

It's still worth it today -- it's aged well, is a blast to read, and you'll probably tear through it in a sitting or two if you're anything like me.

Agree with sibling comment saying these are too abstract. Here are mine: Fundamentals: - Ecosystem beats language and syntax - Use boring, battle tested technologies - Use the relational database to do the heavy lifting - Avoid caching unle

The best advice that I can give you is that running away from something is not running towards something. You need to find something you can run towards. Do you like what you do and not who you have to work with? Perhaps you want a job in y

The best approach I can give you? Don't. If you have a big bang V2 that is incompatible with V1, you've already lost. There should be a V1.0.1, V1.0.2, etc that incrementally gets you to what you would've already gotten with

This might have to bump out "AI is no match for HI (human idiocy)" as the pithy grumpy old man quote I trot out when I hear irrational exuberance about AI these days.

I think the workflow improvement happens but it's not because notebooks allow you to do something that you can't do otherwise. They just improve ergonomics. For example, there are a lot of cases my team uses notebooks for proofs o

Your professional laziness clearly has you in the wrong, and all you can muster is a snide, defensive "are you ok?" I'd really advise you to work on that. There's a world of difference between "This is impossible&qu

So because you were a) too lazy to understand the concept of differential privacy b) the value of using anonymized data and c) come up with a trivial strawman, that makes the whole concept of anonymization unnecessary and something that sho

It just floors me that someone is not yet in jail for this. It's so fantastical so as to seem surreal. But it's real.

I really like your illustrative example and to me it points at the fundamental core problem of the idea of "social science" to me -- it's not that the structured anthropological inquiry is a misguided ambitions, nor that scie

It's probably good to approach nihilism from a skeptic's angle. Think about who nihilism serves and creates profit for; the perfect consumer is a nihilistic consumer. Nihilism and hedonism are ironically linked at the hip. What sn
