Just bumped up to FastHTML. It's a new python web framework for creating HTML apps with HTMX and ASGI. www.fastht.ml As a side note. Interesting that they chose to use package name "python-fasthtml" and not "fasthtml" (which is still available on PyPI). #python #htmx #FastHTML

Filtering data with few peaks, like a spectrum? Weighted Whittaker Smoother seems like a good alternative: - Filters noise out effectively - Can be adjusted on peak wavelengths to filter less - Quite simple eigenvector.com/wp-content/u... #datascience #filtering #datafiltering

Just watched an astonishing video explaining splines both visually and at some level mathematically. The video covers Bezier curves, Hermite Splines, Catmull-Rom Spline, Linear Spline and B-Spline. No wonder it has 1.5M views! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvPP... #math #splines #scientist #datascience

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

matplotlib tip: It's possible to move back and forward zoom levels in the GUI with left and right arrow keys (and C and V for left hand use). That makes looking around data much faster (no need to hit the home button and start over) #python #datascience #matplotlib #plots

I've somehow completely missed that #Python 3.12 has now type statements: type Foo = int | str type Point[T] = tuple[T, T] are now correct syntax (note: No need for TypeVar or defining T). www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8UU...

Have you used "raise ... from None" in #Python? If so, what was your use case for "from None"? What was the original exception that you were suppressing from the traceback and do you feel that suppression was helpful for users of your code (or were you just trying out a new thing you learned)?
