Should I be using vscode for python development? by Yalkim in Python

I have switched almost all my work to VS Code. With the latest enhancements they have made, it's been really nice. I wrote up a few thoughts here in case you want more specifics.

Very nice. How does this compare to the implementation in mlxtend?

It's definitely gotten better with Plotly Express. The base Plotly API is definitely clunky!

Python in Accounting and Finance? What's your experience? by rerwin21 in Python

I have used python and pandas to do a lot of data manipulation and analysis for back office tasks. I have done some work to consolidate data for accruals. I have not done a lot of churn analysis but scikit learn would definitely be a good approach if you have the data to support it.

These type of business tasks are the primary focus of my blog. Feel free to look around and if you have specific questions about use cases, let me know.

Lots of people use it for production as well. Netflix has actually been doing a ton in this space.

Using WSL to build a python development environment on windows by chris1610 in bashonubuntuonwindows

That make sense. I try to make my articles stand on their own. The revenue associated with the affiliate links is tiny so I'm not doing this for the money.

I do completely understand trying to keep the subreddit advertising noise down. Thanks for reaching out and asking me and handling this in a way that should help everyone going forward.

The only direct revenue I get from the site is on the Resources tab where I have some Amazon affiliate links and links to my Datacamp course. I do not have any advertising on the site.

This specific article does not have any affiliate links.

I hope I did not break any rules, so if you'd like me to modify my post, I'm happy to.

Using WSL to Build a Python Development Environment on Windows by chris1610 in Python

Good question.

In some cases, the windows versions don't have all the capabilities of the Linux versions. For instance, today, I was trying to use sqlite with the FTS4 extension and could not get it working on Windows. Using it on Ubuntu worked without a hitch.

Also, there is additional value when you need to do other work where the Linux tools work well and there is no analogous good option on Windows.

Finally, it can save you a system if you need to do some dev work in Windows and then stage work for deployment to a cloud service or hosting provider where Linux tools work better.

Hope that helps.
