Another podcast player I quite enjoy discovering new shows is Breaker:

(though it can get a bit unstable at times…)

If someone wants a more interactive companion-book targeted more towards Python developers, check out "Probabilistic Programming & Bayesian Methods for Hackers":

It would be amazing to have a collection of guides like this sorted by country!
metakermit · 6 years ago
Yes, definitely. I started doing something similar (though much more narrow in scope) while I was freelancing in Austria:

Ideally, we would have crowd-sourced instructions and spreadsheets with taxes, pension calculations etc. – like a Wikipedia for entrepreneurs.

"Alexa, how many children worked to build you?" :(

A 15% cost reduction – not bad.

Possibly interesting – I'm working on developing a similar battery - solar panel off-the-shelf system that would be suited for people who live in cities (e.g. if you want to put a solar panel on your balcony):

If you’re interested in this topic I really recommend The Animator’s Survival Kit by Richard Williams (the director of animation in Who Framed Roger Rabbit):

Most of the points from the article seem to be derived from the stuff the book covers in more details.

What I really need is a python web framework that has first class support for serving SPA applications (VueJS, React etc).

I spent quite a bit of time setting up my Django app to serve VueJS (replacing the built-in Jinja templates). Once ready, it became a powerful application with ORM, middleware and all other Django goodies coupled with modern JS framework on the frontend.

I hear Rails 6 is going to support modern web frameworks and using npm libraries, so something like that for Python/Django world.

I suggest you check out this development in Responder then –released in v0.1.0 40 minutes ago :)

https://github.com/kennethreitz/responder/issues/53

I'll continue helping Kenneth with this, cause that's a pain point I also want to solve for myself.

On a related note, I tried to build something similar for Django in the past. (it worked, but it's somewhat under construction again due to changes in Django 2)

Looks really well written – the fun & practical examples look very inviting.

I hope to see more open source online journals like https://distill.pub/ in the future. With hosting being so cheap (basically free for anything remotely open source), I really don't see a need for private publishing companies.
