@lhackworth i figure if your coding up deep learning stuff, even if just as a consume of a library, your a programmer in some sense :)

While I might agree that it is geared towards shorter development time it seems odd to me it finds so much use in scientific circles considering its not well suited for it.

Also I think readability can be interpreted in different ways here. I'd say due to the ability to hack code it really isnt very readable in a meaningful way. You can look at code and have no idea what it is **really** doing and can be rather difficult to find out. thats the opposite of readability in my mind.

The only way I sorta see the readability thing is just with the tabs and the syntax it might be easier to scan lines of code, but thats a small part of readability in my eyes.

But I do agree that it does a fine job at minimizing single-developer start time on small projects where performance doesnt matter.

@torresjrjr I'm not convinced the language is just inherently slow.. It probably can be written to be fast. It is more that its design and the way people write for python inherently leads to slow code.

So it seems things built on python are, inherently slow, but not due to any absolute limit in core python itself. Afterall you could always just write python to wrap C and it seems thats what libraries tend to do to avoid all the slowness of things written in python that obscured the internals.

@icedquinn There is only one macgyver series and I think you know which of those it is :)

I am in that annoying awkward phase of coding where I am doing performance improvements... Need to wait 5 minutes between each run before I have some actionable results to code against... ugh this is so slow.

I'm just going to watch more low-budget macgyver episodes each time this runs.

Been doing a lot of coding in python lately. While some of the hackability of the language is nice for doing some cool things, overall, I cant say im a fan. Its a little too obscured for writing algorithms where effiency is important. Its hard to tell what data types are truly backing various variables and thus makes it tricky to pick the right implementation. I think im working with raw arrays and they turn out to be linked lists or worse. Even then things like a "Dict" isnt always clear if its a Tree implementation or a hashmap implementation or something else entirely.

Granted this isnt an impossible task, I have managed to figure it out by pulling open the source code of the libraries I call and using profiling tools. But python seems to not care or obscures a lot of that.

@ProjectDrift Hi server admin here. can you provide some background about this project so I can vet if it is acceptable on QOTO (mostly just checking that it isnt a commercial project).

@mur2501

In that case check out my Aparapi.com project, its java and gets really low level (rewrites bytecode on the fly to make it run on GPUs)

@trinsec

@mur2501 if you have a language or topic of interest let me know and I can point you to one.

@mur2501

Yea sounds about right.

@2ck

@mur2501

Ahh interesting.. weird it just builds up static charge like that so easily. I'd imagine if that were the problem then it would be a common one and others would report the same issue on the same phone.

@2ck

@torresjrjr Thanks for earning your spot :)

@mur2501 Better you said it than me :)

@mur2501

If that were the case I'd expect lock and unlocking wouldnt resolve it.

@2ck

@mur2501

Lol I said "indie" not "india"... well your an indie developer now :)

@Wetrix

Actually, you should be, especially considering that I dont think I covered you before. I will try to remember to add you next friday.

@mur2501 I have several open source projects your welcome to check out and jump in on.. Sadly what im working on now with algo trading I cant really share as it would potentially give away my trading algorithm and it is way too successful right now to let that leak.

@mur2501 Algorithmic trading platform for my own personal use. Along with porting over my already coded algorithm from an existing platform.
