I came ready to hate with bias because I often don’t like wrappers, but at least the .format seems like an objective improvement.
But I never understood why matplotlib insists on ax, fig and that’s still in there…
Directly working with matplotlib classes tends to be more clear and concise than pyplot, makes things easier when working with multiple figures and axes, and is certainly more “pythonic”.
I disagree.
Looks like a solid project overall! Thanks for your effort!
Doing engineering is more like an any% run to do something that eventually, even just statistically, hurts people.
So. Stop enabling us, scientists :P

It’s fascinating to think how small the niche I’m in actually is.
The thing that always gets me about the Renaissance is Galileo:
He did those experiments with things falling down? Measuring speed?
Yeah. Without a clock.
The theory for how to build those came later, based on what Galileo did.
Hard to say.
Sounds like the alternatives are to suck it up, leave the country for somewhere that isn’t the case yet, stop using the internet…
There definitely is a line where requiring nonsense is more effort than it is worth. That line has already definitely been crossed by “news media”. The quality of articles and interviews is so abysmal, that any hear say you get over three rebounds over social media is still somehow equal to the original bad source.
Social media is on the edge. I don’t expect to have a serious discussion on facebook or twitter, that’s why I don’t go there. If it’s easier to hang out in a bar near a library to hope someone worth talking to walks in or something like that. That will be the thing to do.
And also, that line will probably just never be actually crossed for internet platforms like amazon or alibaba. Shipping and ordering things online is absurdly convenient compared to go to physical locations and them needing to have the thing stocked, etc…
Most of (open source) software is already built in a way that could be taken offline completely. Internet is just a fast and easy delivery mechanism, but carrying USB sticks is extremely viable for getting code from A to B
And for entertainment, I can honestly just go back to reading books. It’s not the total information super highway, but it would be something.
This may be my favorite voronoi tesselation.
Physicists, when a rogue physicist writes a really good essay and makes the nature of gravity reveal itself through a banger argument.

a more boilerplate way to remove having to worry about designing the UI/UX so I could focus on [blank]
Yes.
In a way, it is super funny ironic / funny to me that we have basically no actual GUI standard. There is Qt, there is stuff with html/css/js, and the rest just lack tons of features.
No idea how it works on windows tbh.
Making a cli app? Sure, easy peasy, done in 5 mintues. Making a small GUI app? Strap in for 2 weeks of basics how this framework chose to solve certain issues.
He does content? He can be a bit aggressive about his topics, that can rub people the wrong way.
I don’t think he did anything offensively, legally or morally wrong.
I know just he exists, I don’t follow his content.
It’s not that they are unfriendly.
But they are 100% there to represent the company’s interest and not yours. If there is any way, to… turn a situation into something where the company gets more money out of it and you get less, it’s their job to make that happen.
In theory they should have employee retention in mind. In practice, nobody does their HR that way anymore.
All my interactions with HR have been “professional polite” and appropriately friendly. There is no reason to be unnecessarily mean, they are also just doing their job.
All the ones where the idea was to “just start something, grow grow grow, then figure out monetization later” is wild to me.
E.g. reddit. It worked. CEO is rich, site is still online. Somehow they got investors probably, presumably.
I get not having profit. I get not having income, if it’s in some prototype phase. But having no plan or idea whatsoever for how to monetize and still getting VC? Wild.
Having an easy on the eyes markdown that is also easy to parse would be cool.
But YAML does these things:

which are not excusable, for any reason.
It is very cool, specifically as a human readable mark down / data format.
The fact that you can make anything a tag and it’s going to be valid and you can nest stuff, is amazing.
But with a niche use case.
Clearly the tags waste space if you’re actually saving them all the time.
Good format to compress though…
At the cost of sounding naive and stupid
It may be a naive question, but it’s a very important naive question. Naive doesn’t mean bad.
The answer is that that is not possible, because the compiler is supposed to translate the very specific language of C into mostly very specific machine instructions. The programmers who wrote the code, did so because they usually expect a very specific behavior. So, that would be broken.
But also, the “unsafety” is in the behavior of the system and built into the language and the compiler.
It’s a bit of a flawed comparison, but you can’t build a house on a foundation of wooden poles, because of the advantages that wood offers, and then complain that they are flammable. You can build it in steel, but you have to replace all of the poles. Just the poles on the left side won’t do.
And you can’t automatically detect the unsafe parts and just patch those either. If we could, we could just fix them directly or we could automatically transpile them. Darpa is trying that at the moment.
If you write something that you base on your previous work, but you don’t cite your previous work, that’s a problem.
How is the peer reviewer supposed to know who the author is, I thought obfuscating that was the whole point…
