I'm increasingly terrified that, unless I get one of the postdoc fellowships I've applied for, I'll effectively be unemployable:

-I have a PhD in geoscience, but know jack-all about rocks
-I know Python, but nothing about programming AI, which apparently is all anyone cares about

See one of the reasons I still use Ruby is Crystal's horrible indexing system, I should be able to index a tuple of arrays just fine, as this works in just every other programming language, even #python and #julia.

There is...really no excuse for now to be like Ruby in this specific way.

A cool paper from OOPSLA '25 —

An Empirical Evaluation of Property-Based Testing in Python
→ dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

Some interesting findings:
- "Each property-based test finds about 50x as many mutations as the average unit test"
- "76% of mutations were found within the first 20 inputs"
Property-based testing (PBT) is a testing methodology with origins in the functional programming community. In recent years, PBT libraries have been developed for non-functional languages, including Python. However, to date, there is little evidence regarding how effective property-based tests are at finding bugs, and whether some kinds of property-based tests might be more effective than others. To gather this evidence, we conducted a corpus study of 426 Python programs that use Hypothesis, Python’s most popular library for PBT. We developed formal definitions for 12 categories of property-based test and implemented an intraprocedural static analysis that categorizes tests. Then, we evaluated the efficacy of test suites of 40 projects using mutation testing, and found that on average, each property-based test finds about 50 times as many mutations as the average unit test. We also identified the categories with the tests most effective at finding mutations, finding that tests that look for exceptions, that test inclusion in collections, and that check types are over 19 times more effective at finding mutations than other kinds of property-based tests. Finally, we conducted a parameter sweep study to assess the strength of property-based tests as a function of the number of random inputs generated, finding that 76% of mutations found were found within the first 20 inputs To address RQ2, assessing the effectiveness of test categories, we used mutation testing to assess the bug-finding power of each project’s test suite. Mutation testing or mutation analysis is a method of evaluating a test suite’s effectiveness. In a mutation test, small changes are made to a program’s source code, called mutations. The mutations are generated by mutation operators, which are syntactic transformation rules. Mutation operators often include swapping arithmetic operators (+ to -), flipping logical operators (and to or), and changing literals. The test suite is then run on the mutated program, and if any test fails, then the mutation is considered caught or killed. If no test fails, then the test suite did not identify the bug. The number of mutations caught is the test suite’s mutation score, and a higher score is indicative of a more robust test suite.

Mixed feelings about typing everything and using mypy. It finds alot of possible bugs and problems, but it takes the lightness out of my programming.

How can a language model find the veggies in a menu?

New pre-print where we investigate the internal mechanisms of LLMs when filtering on a list of options.

Spoiler: turns out LLMs use strategies surprisingly similar to functional programming (think "filter" from python)! 🧵

Oh good! Someone from the @racketlang community can weigh in on the benefits.

Oh wait…

Anyway, sooner or later the time for computable reals will come. I'm still HODLing stock in continued fractions (and teaching them every year to my first-year students).
Isaac King Advocates Replacing Floating-Point with Exact Arithmetic in High-Level Languages Last updated 13 hours ago Software engineer Isaac King initiated a discussion on X on November 5, arguing that high-level languages like Python and JavaScript should default to arbitrary-precision arithmetic, such as rationals, to avoid floating-point precision errors that burden developers. Supporters agree on the need for greater accuracy in non-integer computations, while critics, including programming languages researcher Sam Tobin-Hochstadt, highlight performance costs and difficulties with exact representations for functions like square roots. The exchange revives historical debates on balancing precision and speed in programming, with alternatives like decimal floating-point and libraries such as GNU MP already available but not standard. This story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time. Grok can make mistakes, verify its outputs.

I think it's very enjoyable to use, but I've been programming for a while. GDScript (its main language) is basically like Python, though it supports C# as well. It's a lightweight engine compared to Unity or Unreal.

unfortunately even though it is open source I lack either the statistics knowledge or the programming expertise to figure out what's wrong!!!

if I don't hear back from this guy I suppose I could manually compute idea density but then what did I learn to use Python for?

also, once upon a time.... there was markup language (HTML) that wasn't considered a programming language, and now when using it, people indicate that they are coding a web site. same for a scripting language (hi Python) that is now defacto programming language for data.

@futurebird That's kind of like "German is the English of human languages". Python and JavaScript are both programming languages; JavaScript has invaded everywhere and is kind of a mess, kind of like English.
