Why do you use OrderedDict for now that regular dicts are ordered by default?

Getting Covid paper toilet crisis vibes here

Probably fire safety laws

So they will not use Smartphones? I am not buying it.

I am getting Vietnam flashbacks of all the small incompatibilities between Numpy arrays and Pandas Series

I think Twitter is down 60% in advertisers and 30% in users? Elon personality is part of it, but losing so many people handling community, clients, institutions… I am sure the company has lost most of its institutional knowledge.

Pandoc/Quarto markdown gives you most of these.

In my experience, it rarely really matters fine control. If the effort is too big to tweak the templates/markdown you export it to an intermediate state (LaTeX/Office/whatever) and drop the original markdown source.

There is no lock-in.

They do from time to time: https://wirelesswire.jp/2017/12/62708/

No, I have flight tickets autoupdate when there is a delay.

That’s the US perspective. But globally the final of the World Cup (which Messi played) was seen by more than 1.5B people (compared to <200M in the Super Bowl). It is a big name.

> One thing I miss from RStudio is the Rmarkdown documents with inline outputs

This is already in Quarto! https://quarto.org/docs/computations/inline-code.html#:~:tex....

He does not want to be a AI/ML researcher, but a ML engineer.

I took a look at Yesod and looks more like Haskell’s Sinatra and comes 6 years later than Rails, in 2010. By 2010 a simple web frameworm is table stakes, no huge differentiator.

I am not a user of the language (although I learned it like you). I just came to chime in that (a) there is at least one very popular software written in Haskell and (b) Haskell seems to ship a good amount of software for its popularity.

Haskell never got the “killer framework” like Rails or Spark that allowed to become more mainstream, even if it was teached in Universities all over the world.

> nor have I ever seen a program that I use, written in it

The only mass market Haskell software that I know of is Pandoc. Others like Shellcheck and Postgrest are popular in their niche.

I am not sure that Haskell is faring worse that other programming languages in its level of popularity, like Julia, Clojure or Erlang.

I have one, everything seems fine but I have not crashed it yet.

Funny enough, historically anarchists have been called libertarians and were not against institutions and governance per se. Maybe you are caricaturing a bunch of movements that you do not agree with or are not well informed about?

I would be surprised if the database is here. Does not it rely on Q?

Does writing in this way has any advantage in practical terms (not aesthetically reasons)?

Waymo is not Google. And Deepmind operated quite independently until not long ago.

But you lose high availability, scaling to zero, and increase your CapEx. And at the end you lose money because you need 5 FTE to have them on call for every IPv4 that you self-manage (10 if it is IPv6).

I actually use it in Windows (WSL2) but good point it does not work natively (so no Powershell/CMD).

You can feel it. Specially as 5e92cb50239222b says in throughput. Urxvt is not one of the slow emulators so you will notice it less specially at lower resolutions.

Foot is Linux only and lightweight, take it as a Wayland version of Xterm with good defaults and almost no emulation options. The rest works in all major OS. Alacrity is all about GPU rendering speed at the cost of everything else (at some point it did not have scrollbars/history). Kitty and Wezterm are packed with features and more difficult to differentiate. They are all good though.

I know a bit about the situation in Geneva, and I can confirm that paid UN agency internship seems to be rare.

It is clear that R is not doing as well as Python. It is not clear that it is not doing well overall. It is still the best in statistical analysis and interactive usage (sklearn, statmodels, etc are not good enough). Maybe there is a healthy community that can thrive. For the moment being it seems that they are trying to eat SAS userbase.

Ibis would be the equivalent of unified frontend for tabular data. It was created by the Wes McKinney, also Pandas creator, that now works in Posit (old RStudio).

A thousands of small cuts, almost everything comes first to VSCode before other editors, even mainstream things are underrepresented in most other editors (Jupyter, commercial integrations, etc…).

Although that was true about Atom too though?

If a songwriter has done it, why not a scriptwriter o screenwriter.
