Comment Python is the Eternal September of programming (Score 2) 80

That so many different specialisms can make use of it for data analysis without calling in a programmer, it seems to that it's largely succeeded at bringing programming to more people than ever.

I do worry that domination may lead to a broader stagnation, and a Pythonication of existing languages - C# feels like it's going down this route.

While I'm posting where Python experts may lurk; is there an 'enjoyable and effective' way of developing 'attractive' multiplatform UIs with Python yet, or does anyone know of anything being actively worked on?

I haven't done an analysis, but with very little prompting, it dreamt up a very similar first chapter. It also pulled "Joseph Ragowski" out as a key character in the chapter - the only place he appears in the book. At first, it insisted it'd come up with the name on its own, but when I asked it to clarify, it admitted Joseph Ragowski is a key figure in the first chapter.

tl;dr I see no way it could suggest what it suggested for the first chapter, if it hadn't trained from the original book.

So wait, the process that occurs, when the keyboard is pressed - it can now result in a different outcome?

I honestly didn't know what to expect in the year of our Lord, 2024. But sufficient technological advancement as to allow differing processes to occur when a key on the keyboard is pressed... we're living in the future.

Totally support the '"under the hood" labelling shenanigans' being out in the open where we can all see it, and if it's leading to shadow-banning - again, not a fan.

But considering the shit that used to get pulled on Twitter censorship, with AmiMoJo clapping like a rabid seal - I'll take the current as an improvement.

Comment If I had one bit of advice. (Score 1) 64

"If there was one universal piece of advice I had for marketers seeking to broadly improve their organic search rankings and traffic, it would be: 'Build a notable, popular, well-recognized brand in your space, outside of Google search.'"

Genius.

So build a notable, popular, well-recognized brand in your space to rank on Google. This is a font of forbidden lore.
