Flask is a fun framework for making web apis.

Pika is a client for RabbitMQ, if you want to try message queue stuff.

Numpy and sklearn for numerical and machine learning stuff.

Matplotlib for making nice plots of your numerical stuff.

Pytorch for deep learning.

Pillow for image processing.

OpenCV for computer vision.

Pygame for 2D games (maybe a bit old, but I had lots it fun with it when I started learning programming years ago)

He has to finish section 7.2.2 of his book

Knuth has also decided that once he dies, a last version will be made which sets the version number exactly to pi.

Undefined is not part of JSON specification. It’s also not a thing in Java.

That’s good to hear. I haven’t touched Eclipse in maybe 15 years and back then it fueled me a burning hatred for IDEs. It felt like a huge confusing mess. But maybe it has become more streamlined lately.

Now I have grown out of my hatred and can’t imagine a day without (non Eclipse) IDEs.

Is anyone using Eclipse anymore? I’ve barely heard anything about it the past 10 years.

It’s not that funny.

Docker is like a virtual machine, but you only run one specific program in it. About exactly what the meme describes.

That’s fair enough. The common misconception is that waterfall is great for space missions, when in reality NASA is doing agile.

I agree that not everybody is NASA, so what works for them doesn’t necessarily work for everyone.

NASA also successfully flew a helicopter on Mars first try.

It’s barely waterfall planning either. Often there’s no planning, at least no coordinated one.

Currently at my current workplace we lack coordinated planning between teams. It seems like everybody is working in their own directions and it can take months until we get feedback from other teams. Mostly a product management problem.

The author is also hyping up waterfall too much. Agile was created because waterfall has its shortcomings (e.g. the team realizes too late that what they’re building isn’t what the customer wants).

But I also think it also represents how poorly implemented these ideas are. People say they do agile/kanban/scrum, but in reality they do some freak version of these.

You got me

If 0.999… < 1, then that must mean there’s an infinite amount of real numbers between 0.999… and 1. Can you name a single one of these?

I think this is a bit disingenuous. There’s no customer interaction in these panels.

So waterfall would be:

Customer says they want to go to Mars.

You spend years building a rocket capable of going to Mars, draining all the company budget in the process.

Customer then clarifies they actually meant they wanted to go to Mars, Pennsylvania, USA - not the planet!

7 by 7 matrix isn’t the optimal packing. The square shown is slightly smaller than 7 by 7.

Which doubles the maintenance work to keep docs in sync

When someone writes API docs, should they assume the reader knows nothing or can they assume the is already experienced?

It takes a lot of effort to write documentation towards newbies, at the cost of making it more difficult for already experienced to find the answer they need.

Normie numbers (aka natural numbers)

My interpretation is that Jon starts talking about how division by 0 is not possible. Garfield then goes on about how we can use limits to assign values to such expressions, which we can use to calculate derivatives. I guess Garfield starts to question whether dy/dx really exists after all this.

Jon then changes the subject to be about integrals, which Garfield is immediately annoyed about the missing +C.

It’s super funny.
