I saw a guy modeling data today.
No deep learning.
No SVMs.
No random forest.
He just sat there.
Fitting linear regression models.
Like a Psychopath.

Let's talk about Python metaclasses. 🎩✨ Many think they are magical things that mere mortals should never use. That's not quite true, although in many cases metaclasses can needlessly complicate things. Beware.

[Venkat Subramaniam @venkat_s]

Being a programmer means:

* waking up each day to tackle problems
* find workarounds and evaluate tradeoffs
* get yelled at by compilers and tools
* figure out interesting solutions
* feel exhilarated when things seem to work
* then, go to bed thinking I don't know a sh..zzzz

[Daily Python Tip 🐍🐧 @python_tip]

> import pandas as pd
> False in pd.Series([True, True])
True
> 123 in pd.Series([123, 456])
False

Be aware that `in` operator looks through index, not values!

> False in pd.Series([True, True]).values
False
> 123 in pd.Series([123, 456]).values
True

I had this pinned on my pin board for many years - Piece of sanity & wisdom

[Lena Hall @lenadroid]

I find it really enjoyable to:

➕ Write out all the function signatures with no implementation

➕ Then add comments about what each function will do

➕ And finally, have smooth frictionless implementation because you've already answered all the questions during previous steps

#python 3.8 news: Python containers are 8 bytes smaller on 64-bit builds.

[] 64 ⟶ 56
() 48 ⟶ 40
{} 240 ⟶ 232
set() 224 ⟶ 216

Many thanks to Naoki Inada for looking carefully at the GC code.

@nnja First solve the problem with pen and paper, then implement the solution in your language of choice.

Why studying a bit each day is so much more effective than cramming: New synapses form while we're sleeping, but only so many connections can form in a single night. Becoming an expert requires daily practice.
