Writing good Haskell always seemed harder to me than something like Python. The amount I'd have to think before beginning to type was a lot, but it always seemed worth it, as there was always potential always for a beautiful solution to any problem.
As a result, before I write code in any production language I give a little more thought to what I'm about to write, which I think ends up with a better result.
Heck, even if Haskell just gave a developer an appreciation for basic functional programming, that would be something that will benefit them for years in my view.
Maybe they're looking to get a lot of granularity.
Thinking of, https://haveibeenpwned.com/, you could give an email address and get value from the site, but there's no need for an account.
Assuming you store the email that's certainly more of a privacy/security risk than using it once and throwing it away.
This seems like such a significant problem for the language and has been around since the beginning of time.
Considering the amount of value that Python adds to companies and individuals around the world, is there a reason that institutions or someone with the means hasn't funded a project to "solve" the GIL problem?
this seems like the real magic here. The author states at the start, automating all of the steps of something can be daunting. But this script can incrementally become a do everything script.
A minor plug: I've found I generate graphs and tables in Jupyter notebooks, so I wrote ipynb-tex, to allow you to reference cells from a notebook directly in your LaTeX documents. This supports tables, and figures.
Thanks for your advice, I'm currently starting down the path of writing (what I hope will become) a book. I'm at your piece of advice I). I'm working on a framework which links LaTeX and Python notebooks in a dynamic compilation setup [1], so reading your first point of advice makes me think I might have started on the wrong path.
Did your setup ultimately prove useful in writing your book? Or did you give up part way through and that helped you get to the task of actually writing?
Not meaning to be rude, it sounds like you're going strong and providing a great service. But if you retire in future do you plan on handing down your code and setup to someone?
I am constantly approached with adhoc requests, often unrelated to the application I work on, probably more of these than actual ticket items.
I've started to number these myself in my own ticket system where I keep scripts, screenshots and logs etc. but I'm using OneNote, because it's so unrestrictive.
