I think is a dumb idea. Historically has been easy to learn programming languages because everyone uses the same things, no fragmention. If now everyone starts creating their own programming languages with different language everything is fragmented, you would to a company, and in the interview they will require you to know korean to work there, they will not be able to hire contractors, you will not be able to see an article about a nice feature on another programming language, and port it...

I suppose is again why I discuss with everyone as I would like to have a single language in the world, it would reduce wars, miscommunications, bound everyone closer. But ofc, the other point of view is that it reduces culture But I think it would happen as UK/US or Spanish, same language with variations, but everyone can understand each other.

I can't imagine what would have happened if Python or JS had been fragmented into X different languages because of egos, and instead of collaborating, decide each to create their own languages. I don't think we would be where we are today, probably AIs would not be around, since we would be fighting to understand so many different programming languages.

definitely going to try it with some friends. But it's true that at first I was checking which games I could connect to, or how it worked without reading anything, and thought it was to connect to some multiplayer games of steam, and gaming couch acted as a layer to use phones as joystick only.

From my POV is not fixing, is another way of work. I don't like what Marimo does, because for that I have scripts.

If I'm loading files from S3, I'm being charge for it. If Marimo re-executes this cell to maintain the state, it will charge me double. I don't need that. I'm able to organize my code, and know how it is being run.

I'm only in Telegram. And is also good because the family groups are only in WhatsApp, so I can have an excuse.

On my book, "better" being SaaS, not open source or letting your users download it is not a better option. Is merely another Deepnote, Google Colab... but not Jupyter Notebook

I had to access the solution for std because I missed the right position of 2, I put it after the parenthesis. And in Fnorm I had to check it in the comments because I didn't thought of the similarity with the m.prod() and the list.

Is a cool experiment, and it could be good to lose the fear in papers. Maybe you could add some exercises with formulas or different papers that are a must read.

Probably this one? https://roadmap.sh/ I have seen it few times last year, so could be. Although I would say it lacks the part of 'practising algorithms'.

Because is mainly using Jupyter Notebook, Python and Pandas.

In this times is normal for companies to create their own products using open source products, but to some people is not very good seen.

In my case I think is not worth it a tool that only works in some specific environment, that doesn't have many functionalities, and it costs more than all the products of Jetbrains. I don't like either that is a tool built on top of open sources projects trying to charge a big amount while it does not have almost any functionality.

Since when has wolfram alpha an AI? I always thought it was simply calls to Mathematica.

Maybe when you ask general questions it uses an AI, but with functions and maths I think it only uses Mathematica.
