I don't work with python, but I know that for many people developing their own solutions, apps and products and managing those products is more than relevant. I assume pip https://setapp.com/how-to/install-pip-on-mac you use as well, and it's great that there are such solutions for Mac to manage all products as easily and efficiently as possible.
Very good podcast!
sorry, but I can't with so many yawning 😂
I get that str.strip() needs some work. However, for the time being (and to ensure backwards compatibility) surely re.sub() is a solid choice for some of the use cases you guys are discussed no?
can't believe it
Author: Jukka Lehtosalo Sponsor: Guido van Rossum Status: Accepted Version: 3.8 PEP 484 defines the type Dict[K, V] for uniform dictionaries, where each value has the same type, and arbitrary key values are supported. It doesn't properly support the common pattern where the type of a dictionary value depends on the string value of the key. Core idea: Consider creating a type to validate an arbitrary JSON document with a fixed schema Proposed syntax: https://icetutor.com
I think the methodology for the calculation of language popularity is specifically under representative of both R and python. if you check out trends for dplyr (R) or pandas (python) packages for data manipulation, both dwarf the overall language specific searches. I wonder if that bias also partially led to the declining interest in Ruby on Rails.
fgr Dr rhh
Thanks for the kubernetes example, and overall good episode
