Code is so much easier to understand than math notation for me. I hope that all math classes can be taught in code sometime soon lol
1. Find big scary equation that's hard to parse 2. Latex OCR it with Mathpix 3. Ask ChatGPT to break it down into heavily commented Python

Transforming data is the one of the most evergreen skills. Everything you do these days is powered by data. If you know how to transform that data to make it useful you have a superpower. It doesn’t matter if you use SQL, Python, Excel or any other tool. I of course prefer SQL

Aaron Swartz would have been 36 today. Aaron committed suicide after being sentenced to 35 years in prison by US authorities for transferring and sharing scientific articles from JSTOR.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Swartz was never convicted or sentenced to prison. After declining a plea bargain in which he'd serve six months in jail, he committed suicide before trial. forbes.com/sites/timothyl…

I like to think of Python as an API for compiled languages.

Thanks to the hard work of Brandon Miller, the @numba_jit CUDA examples section is much-expanded with nice examples of CUDA target features: shared memory, cooperative groups, forall loops, random number generation, and CPU/GPU jit function interop: numba.readthedocs.io/en/late…

Spring has sprung, and working outdoors is a thing again. So is lawn-mowing and blowing and general gas powered noise-making :|

Is there a way to "mute" a thread I participated in once, but no longer want notifications for? @SlackHQ

this new UI is going to be strongly correlated to RSI and carpal tunnel from forced increase in scrolling motions
tfw you forget to include "-y" when you conda install a package from inside jupyter

You don't have to know CUDA to use a GPU. Rapids, CuPy, & Numba provide familiar SciPy APIs around GPUs. CuPy's interface is highly compatible with NumPy; in most cases it can be used as a drop-in replacement @mrocklin #SciPy2019 cupy.chainer.org/

I think the #pydata community is in healthy shape, not only do we have a choice in dataframe libraries (@vaex_io @pandas_dev, @dask_dev, Modin, @rapidsai cudf) almost as rich as the viz ecosystem, we also have the people bringing them together, thanks @datapythonista !

Telling a programmer that there's already a library to do X is like telling a songwriter there's already a song about love.
