There will be no Python 4.0 in the near future, CPython speed up, incremental updates and improvements for upcoming Python versions, thoughts about other languages and some fun facts about the man behind the Python language - all in this big interview with Guido van Rossum.

BTW Manning is giving away a book "Go in Action". Not about Python, but, well, it's free. They require your email for the book and will probably send you some spam (I think it's ok to unsubscribe later).
Grab it until May, 30, 2021

Just came across an advertisement of one of the Jetbrains IDEs with this screenshot in it. I’ve never tried any stackoverflow integrations and quickly googled if there are any worthwhile extensions for vscode and sublime text and found a few:

1) Stackoverflow snippets for Sublime Text - allows to search, view the results and paste snippets right in the editor.
https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Stack%20Overflow%20Snippets

2) Stackoverflow view for vscode - this one allows searching and browsing search results right in the editor in a separate tab. Looks good.

3) Stackoverflow instant search for vscode - this one opens the search results in a new browser tab. Some may find this convenient, but to me this one is not as sophisticated as both previous extensions.

Do you find this useful or this is just bells and whistles that no one needs?

This old text by Spolsky is still relevant and I feel it will ways be. Abstractions leak and nothing is going to change
Happy Friday!

This can even be used as a cheatsheet once you have to do some data analysis with SQL🔥

Meanwhile Microsoft introduces the next version of Windows and it’s a free upgrade

Despite SQL is well known and loved there’s also so much to criticize

Linear regression is so easier to understand than neural networks. Using NN was always more like a magic and was never a silver bullet. This text can be a good starting point to learn linear regression right from its strengths (there’s a link to video below the text).
Happy Tuesday everyone!
