WolfAt last night’s <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@mug" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mug</a> meeting we looked at a lot of different solutions to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/adventofcode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adventofcode</a> day 1 in many different languages. Two that were very interesting to me were <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Zig" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Zig</a> and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/haskell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#haskell</a>. The way these two languages worked was really quite fascinating. After seeing real code in these two languages, I can tell they are not for me; but they were interesting and illuminating nonetheless. There was a solution entirely in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SQL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SQL</a>. Another in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/vim9script" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vim9script</a>. Another in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/swiftlang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swiftlang</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/swift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swift</a> (I don’t think that one’s in the repo yet). I wrote several implementations myself. The one I felt most proud of is <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Python</a> with the core written in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/rustlang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rustlang</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a> tied together with <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PyO3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PyO3</a>. The one I felt was maybe the best tool for the job was entirely based on <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/pandas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pandas</a>. As I said in a previous post, I tried to solve it in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/polars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polars</a>, but the API exposed by Polars at least as far as I could tell, made it no better than simple lists in Python. I need to get deeper knowledge here. The repo lives here: <a href="https://github.com/MichiganUnixUserGroup/MUG-2025-03-11-Advent-of-Code" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/MichiganUnixUserGroup/MUG-2025-03-11-Advent-of-Code</a>.

FrauHollunder<a href="https://openbiblio.social/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#python</a> <a href="https://openbiblio.social/tags/pandas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pandas</a> <a href="https://openbiblio.social/tags/regex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#regex</a> Ein großer Fallstrick für mich, sind die unterschiedlichen Rückgabewerte. pandas lässt recht einfach auf den gesuchten Regex als Rückgabewert zugreifen, bei python zusammen mit re braucht es eine extra Schleife, wenn man den Regex als Rückgabewert will. Der Kleinkram macht immer den Unerschied!

Mike DriscollIf you're new to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Python</a>, you might know you can chain some methods together. You'll see this type of thing, especially in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pandas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pandas</a>, but you can do method chaining in several of Python's built-in objects as well.Here's an example of chaining string methods together:

datum (n=1)TLDR: Pandas are dope fiends!?TIL that Pandas aren't born loving bamboo, but that it's an addiction with a dopamine component.Those cute furry pandas are actually carnivores.But they sit on their butts all day eating plants and getting high instead of chasing animals."some of the bamboo-derived miRNAs were found to regulate dopamine pathways, driving food motivation and the reward system linked to it. So if eating bamboo is a pleasurable, satisfying experience for a panda, it's more likely to be solely driven to seek out this trigger." <a href="https://newatlas.com/biology/pandas-bamboo-micro-rna/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://newatlas.com/biology/pandas-bamboo-micro-rna/</a><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/drugs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drugs</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/dopamine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dopamine</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/pandas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pandas</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/bamboo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bamboo</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/miRNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#miRNA</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/RNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RNA</a>

Jack C.My internal <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/tool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tool</a> project at work is starting to feel like something that needs a second developer to spend a little time on. Unfortunately I don't think anyone else knows <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Python</a> / <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/pandas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pandas</a> well enough or would have the time or willingness to learn. I just need a second pair of non-ai eyes on this code. I think I'm over feeling like an impostor for slipping deadlines, but it doesn't feel great. It's clear this is more important than a handy little tool.<a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/codereview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#codereview</a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/softwareteam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softwareteam</a>

Both have a similar thumb bone used for grasping bamboo, so they were viewed as related, but are much more distant from each other with generic evidence. True Pandas are much closer related the raccoons and mustelids than bears. The giant panda however will still probably retain top panda spot in most peoples minds
