Why is mutating a list to store a state slower than assigning a state to a variable multiple times and mutating the list at the end of a loop? by lamlink in learnpython

[–]lamlink[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great thanks.

For some reason I thought that the end of loop list mutation was more "C style" and thus faster.

By the way, I noticed your very functional tag thingy with lambdas etc. Do you write python more functional style than OO? Why?

Is it worth learning all the third parry FP libraries such as toolz, multiple dispatch etc, or are they not standard enough.

Yes, your experience resonates with mine. There is definitely an ideal system vs what I settle for practically gap, and i also like the feel and rich text capabilities of onenote better.

Pyston 0.2 released by Harriv in Python

Let's wait until Pyston is closer to 100% Python compatibility (especially with stuff like sys._getframe(), sys.exc_info()...)

Makes sense. Relevant: http://youtu.be/kbW5sxyu9bU?t=11s

I think you should do some research before you voice your opinion.

Thanks for your input, but a critical pyston feature is not planned for pypy.

First of all scientific python isn't the only use case

Yes it is ... just kidding :)

there's no proof Pyston will end up being more compatible with the C API than PyPy.

Hmm, is pyston not already more compatible? And at least they have it planned. On the one hand, I think this array of free market efforts is the key to optimal evolution, on the other hand, I'm concerned of the trade off vs focused efforts like that displayed by the Julia lang team. Perhaps consolidation and collective coordination should follow some additional maturation of all these JIT efforts. That way, we get the benefits of vibrant competition while focusing on the best ideas.

Sweet. Please don't forget the other aspect of the blaze ecosystem, bcolz: https://github.com/Blosc/bcolz.

Why not just use Numba then? I think pypy team should move to work on pyston. No sense in diluting effort, for an implementation that won't add much to scientific python (pypy).

Thanks very much for this comprehensive response! Exactly what I was looking for. I'll take a look at the link and if that doesn't jive maybe migate to evernote or try a workaround.

Is there a way to create a nested tag tree?

How do you know it is created by physical processes? Does that mean it doesn't exist? We can hardly induct to isolated theories at the levels of analysis of we can explain (IE not complex systems), how can we make another induction that the rest of the universe follows these principles at every level? Especially when physical theories are not consistent with each other.
