Elektron's been bought by private equity so I suspect their legacy devices will continue to gain popularity.

The humble spreadsheet is the most robust data analysis tool of our lifetime and the two exceptions provided by the author (fit-on-screen data, temp storage) ignores a variety of uses that several comments itt reference.

The key value IMO - as other have said - is that it's sharable to non-technical folks.

If you want to beat the index, wouldn't you put most of the investment into the index and then use a minority of that investment to lean into 3 or 4 top-performers from said index by buying individual shares? E.g. 80% into the index fund, 20% into individual stocks in the index fund (among the top 10 or ones you think will be hard to dethrone).

Maybe this is naive?

I might be AI-brained but whenever I read the word "comprehensively" in a scientific paper, I get the feeling that it was written by AI.

"Of course, that doesn't mean we should ignore and stop working on the affordability of housing. But it does mean that at some point, those won't be our most pressing problems and humans do have a habit of fighting the last war, not the next one."

VC's think they're better-equipped to judge "pressing problems" than most and I think that's dumb.

I dunno, even though the authors address its use, making the task Tower of Hanoi doesn't meet the excitement of the title.

I would argue that it helps kids learn how to organize and formulate coherent thoughts and communicate with others. I'm sure it helps them do homework, too.

Feels like it would be easier to count the ills that _don't_ go back to this sort of thing.

I've been using for over 4 months and I think it's great - both Python and R. Plenty of DS features that make VS Code feel more competent as data exploration tool.
