This brings back memories. I‘m 32 now and back in the day, we were trading GameBoy roms on floppies because there was nothing else we could use. Essentially we were using them like USB sticks.
I have only a static website with not too much content or traffic, I even use the free oracle VPS that they offer. It took some while to get the hang of ingress rules and opening ports in their interface in addition to the CLI but now it works and I’m not paying anything. Out of curiosity: where do you get your VPS?
Jokes aside, I’ve tried what feels like almost everything and outside of taking notes with Code this is what I’m doing. Writing it down in a notebook. Is it flawed? Yes. The time I need to learn the medium is zero however.
Thank for answering. I understand that the interpreter situation can be annoying. There is WinPython [0] to circumvent that to some degree. I feel like if I don’t do it the „VSCode and py-file“ way, it’ll be more and more difficult to keep everything together when teaching about modularity and putting functions in helper scripts, putting tests in other directories and such. I think it’s just because I got used to using VSCode and not Notebooks although I’ve used them for a while.
What is the problem with installing python outside of JupyterLab (or „the regular way“) in your opinion? I‘m teaching Python basics for a few years now and usually we get everything up and running with Python and VSCode in three processes as well: installing python if it’s not installed, installing VSCode and then installing the extension.
First of all people were pushing back [0] and there were discussions in politics as well. Second, there is/was a pandemic, totally unrelated to fingerprints on ID cards.
Same here. It’s not perfect but most of the time I know roughly what I want to find and visit websites directly anyway. Sometimes I use !g to use on Google instead if I think that Google will provide better results.
Not a hindrance but I work with image data a lot. Usually what comes in is any kind of Numpy array and what comes out at the end is either statistics or a Numpy array. I try to type hint everywhere I can but I feel stupid doing so because all I do is work with arrays. Maybe I’m not proficient/knowledgeable enough though so take it with a grain of salt.
In my opinion there are lots of external factors to it. I’m also German and we probably both know that especially lots of years back we could’ve set things up differently in terms of integration (which to some degree included learning the language).
I definitely need to take a look at how to deploy stuff. I still do it like a caveman - I set everything up locally, ftp it to a server, fiddle around there to make it work and leave it be. I only do static websites though so I’m not sure about the benefits but a hook to catch my latest push would be awesome.
I‘m not working inside of notebooks too much to be honest. I was doing so a while back but working in a modular fashion with other scripts is a pain so I went back to vanilla Python files in VS Code a while back. I’ll still take a look, thanks for the heads up!
Matplotlib is really killing me. I never have learned it properly and switch between methods to address the same things in Matplotlib. Every time I have to plot something I have to Google how to do it or I have a template ready already. In my opinion it’s the most annoying library I have to use.
I‘m not sure since I can’t quite figure out the target audience. Depending on the amounts a person walks every day it might be worth it but I’m on the bike or in the metro most of the time and the claimed 250% increase in speed doesn’t come close to the bicycle. That being said, I’d try them for sure and if they improve my life, I think I could live with the design. On a related note: people were Yeezy and Balenciaga shoes which (subjective) look awful to me.
This is comparing Apple (out of all companies) selling something we were using prior to the AirPods for a price which was in an acceptable range for the target audience with a dorky kinda-add-on for shoe to walk faster. I’m not sure if it holds.
I‘d wager that the general public can’t name three scientific journals on average. In Germany COV19 sure helped to get some insights from public persons regarding pre print and review processes. However, even friends that have done their Bachelors don’t know too much about publishing. It basically begins with your own career in academia that you know how journals and academic publishing „works“ but outside of that no one really cares.
I wouldn’t call myself seasoned developer but tail (and grep) saved so much time during my masters thesis, I don’t even know how I’d checked for new entries in my log files other than using cat. When working with anything posting a log, I’m very grateful to know about tail.
Realistically, only a few people have to do it and open source a toolkit. Also I don’t really think that we’ll have that issue with markdown because it’s widespread and rather well established. This doesn’t invalidate your point, which I absolutely agree with.
