Binary, Bytes, and Bitwise Operators in Python

Computers store all kinds of information as a stream of binary digits called bits. Whether you’re working with text, images, or videos, they all boil down to ones and zeros. Python’s bitwise operators let you manipulate those individual bits of data at the most granular level. Python isolates you from the underlying bits with high-level abstractions. You’re more likely to find the overloaded flavors of bitwise operators in practice. But when you work with them in their original form, you’ll […]

Prettify Your Data Structures With Pretty Print in Python

The Python pprint module is helpful in many situations. It comes in handy when making API requests, dealing with JSON files, or handling complicated and nested data. You’ll probably find that using the normal print() function isn’t adequate to efficiently explore your data and debug your application. When you use print() with dictionaries and lists, the output doesn’t contain any newlines. Before you start exploring pprint, you’ll first use urllib to make a request to get some data. You’ll make […]

When you should switch to Python 3.10

Python 3.10 is now available–but should you switch to it immediately? And if not now, when? The short answer after its immediate release was, no, you probably don’t want to switch immediately; quite possibly you can’t switch immediately. Now that some time has passed, we’re getting closer to yes, or at least a maybe. To understand why, we need to consider Python packaging, the software development process, and take a look at the history of past releases. We can then […]

Buying products for your job: estimating value, convincing your boss

You’ve discovered a product that might help you with your job: perhaps a book that will teach you a new and relevant skill, or software that will speed up development. Since you do want to write software better and faster, you are considering buying this product. But, then again, the product costs money, and maybe that money is better spent on something else. So should you buy the product or not? How do you decide? And if it is worth […]

Data Visualization Interfaces in Python With Dash

In the past, creating analytical web applications was a task for seasoned developers that required knowledge of multiple programming languages and frameworks. That’s no longer the case. Nowadays, you can make data visualization interfaces using pure Python. One popular tool for this is Dash. Dash gives data scientists the ability to showcase their results in interactive web applications. You don’t need to be an expert in web development. In an afternoon, you can build and deploy a Dash app to […]

Building a Neural Network & Making Predictions With Python AI

If you’re just starting out in the artificial intelligence (AI) world, then Python is a great language to learn since most of the tools are built using it. Deep learning is a technique used to make predictions using data, and it heavily relies on neural networks. This course will show you how to build a neural network from scratch. In a production setting, you would use a deep learning framework like TensorFlow or PyTorch instead of building your own neural […]

The NLP Cypher | 11.21.21

Hey … so have you ever deployed a state-of-the-art production level inference server? Don’t know how to do it? Well… last week, Michael Benesty dropped a bomb when he published one of the first ever detailed blogs on how to not only deploy a production level inference API but benchmarking some of the most widely used frameworks such as FastAPI and Triton servers and runtime engines such as ONNX runtime (ORT) and TensorRT (TRT). Eventually, Michael recreated Hugging Face’s ability […]

Python Community Interview With Eric Wastl

This week, we’re joined by Eric Wastl, a Senior Architect at TCGPlayer and the founder of Advent of Code (AoC). Join us as we discuss the inception of AoC, how to avoid common pitfalls when solving code challenges in AoC, and what Eric gets up to in the “3.8 seconds” of free time he has per year. Ricky: Thanks for joining me, Eric. You’re perhaps most well known for being the founder of Advent of Code, which we’ll talk about […]
