But the python bindings are great and useful to many, so Python gets to be added to the list.

I’ve come full circle. I now don’t use any config, instead writing file specific setting with modeline. Although now I’ve started collecting modeline templates I need get bound to some hotkeys. Back to the .vimrc I go.

Epigenetic reversal of some inhibitory histone marks at the promoter region of the enzyme? Driven by some yet-to-be-discovered signaling cascade induced by reintroduction of lactose and proliferation of lactose loving microbes?

Just spitballing, this is pure speculation, but is plausible.

I think many of us relate to this. I know I do. I recently read the psychological condition of “hypomania” (simply put, a more rational and less harmful version of a manic episode) and got me thinking - am I intentionally trying to induce a hypomanic state; the proverbial “dance floor”?

At least we are getting a good education on monetary policy along the way.

We have quite a ways to go. It absolutely needs to become more personal. This means facial expressions and body language.

Maybe the fastest way to get to this is a “Star Wars” esque hologram approach. Why else have we been training our youth to see themselves and the world through Snapchat filters.

Perhaps things will go more smoothly once the meta verse fully arrives (I’m only half joking..)

Maybe facebooks next pivot will be in education.

Its unfortunate that those groups exist. But there are many who genuinely want to discover and share knowledge and know how. Research is a slog and it’s hard to quantify how some seemingly esoteric research could benefit humanity.

Another clear example of how finance can be used to suck capital out of the public markets. Hey, we all need to take profits eventually, right?

The attractiveness of both Jupyter and Rmarkdown continue apace.

A smooth solution : provide sqlite databases for easy browsing with datasette

How do you think fed actions, presumably interest rate rises, will put the kibosh on the new leverage being enjoyed by workers?

How about a conditional breakpoint? Though this doesn’t solve the “issue” of rerunning through the whole list.

Or - once you’ve found what element in your list is causing the issue- extract it and feed it to your function with your debugger on.

Admittedly I have often had a more challenging time fixing FP code than if I had used a for loop. This might be because I am not as familiar/comfortable with FP than procedural flow.

There has to be a for loop eventually. But crawling through a for loop within a procedure can also be painful if there are many different case scenarios. You could counter that good code wouldn’t suffer such a problem, but if the code was good it might not have been broken!

Python is great for plumbing, R is great for new analyses. I use Python to knit Rmarkdown documents from premade templates.

Of course you can achieve something similar with Jupiter notebooks. The real benefit is the perceived ability to get going with a new dataset.

With respect to massaging and visualizing rectangular data, I can get much further much faster in R tidyverse than python. Just as we see python as a language that allows for rapid development with its straightforward syntax - I see R tidyverse providing a faster data analysis exploration “experience”. Tidyverse also introduced me to functional programming which I have found to be very useful for data analysis; you can very strictly separate procedures in a way I have found beneficial. (Not to say you cannot acquire this knowledge another way, however.)

I remain an avid user of pandas data frames inside the python ecosystem. On more than one occasion, I have translated rapidly written tidyverse data wrangling routines into more maintainable functions in python with pandas.

YMMV

Can’t you do the same thing by dropping a browser() into a function you are applying to each element in a list?

What if you are working with 1000s of rows? Still worthwhile?

I read the title too quickly and thought the article was on Python’s partial and the author was using a very elaborate analogy from molecular biology.

Was not disappointed.

Only a subset of the population is athletic. Those that are breaking records have been training for a significant amount of time.

Also I think we’re rediscovering the power of breath work on performance - as exemplified in the constant record beating times occurring particularly in swimming competitions.

Autism might just be corollary. In the past people got lobotomies if they acted outside what was considered normal. Now many of us consider gay conversion therapy to be barbaric. We’ve come a long way, and people can express themselves more freely than ever before.

Also many of us sit all the time, watch screens that give us an overload of culture and opinions, and eat up to 3 meals of sugar-infused foods fried in vegetable oils a day. It’s no surprise that gastric and colon cancers have risen. Inflammation is the name of the game - and our sugary, highly processed diets paired with long stretches of immobility compounds the damage.

But you would still need to get your news from somewhere? Seems like this quote is an even bigger impetus to read many news sources so you don’t fall into a default position held by a newspaper

It’s a series of articles that are delivered to your house once a week. That’s close enough.

Not sure what OPs original meaning was, but I think a legitimate statement can be made stating that being queer/polysex (or any other non “standard” sexual identity) comes with a higher probability for mental illness due to discrimination.

Both are diseases of degeneration. Degeneration accumulates from repeated stress. I wonder how many diseases are largely preventable if we were all more active and kept sugar consumption under control.

That’s why you need to put all the blame on people high up enough to seemingly have significant responsibility.

It’s a losing battle because ultimately responsibility creeps up to the person at the very top.

I’m very privileged to have the ability to work as little or as long as I want most days (within reason, and there’s always exceptions). I often still have trouble relaxing in the afternoon until the clock hits 5.

But I spend much more time planning and thinking, which actually lets me get more done when I do work.

Why are we fighting ourselves by trying to be creative after lunch when we should be taking a nap? I’m seriously considering getting a day bed for work.

Everything you are talking about seems centered around cultivating humility. You are absolutely right. It’s ultimately the ability to allow yourself to make mistakes. Being wrong is no fun. Best to get it over with, accept it and work forward, rather than to bring yourself into some delusion.

Nice post. I wish I was reading this 6 years ago, but at least I quickly learned to be humble about the quality of my code.

How about Mary Barra at GM? Do you consider her a rare exception?

Did you just compose this? Very well articulated. I'm glad at least this is becoming more obvious - we have to recognize a problem before we know we need to find a solution.

Tidyverse is currently GPL3 licensed, so that code will remain open even if they were to change the license for future releases. If they made it so onerous and restrictive then presumably less people would use it, to the detriment of the community. People may just move over to another language like Python.
