| | | | Python 3 Types in the Wild: A Tale of Two Type Systems
This academic paper from researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and IBM TJ Watson Research Center examines the MyPy and PyType tools and explores how Python developers use type annotations. The researchers collected over 70,000 Python GitHub repositories and found that only 2,678 had Python 3-style type annotations, most of which fail to type-check with either of the two tools. The paper’s third section is quite accessible and has a lot of interesting analysis.

Why Does Pandas None | True Return False When Python None or True Returns True?
| represents the “or” operation, but when used in a boolean index in Pandas, it doesn’t behave the same way as Python’s or as you might expect — if you go off of name alone. The | operator is a bitwise operator, which only works on integer values. In fact, one could say that Python doesn’t really have a true logical “or” operator, since technically or is a short-circuit operator.

Using PyTorch + NumPy? You’re Making a Mistake
There’s a subtle bug that’s easy to introduce when using these packages, and it’s likely that many projects suffer from the bug. The issue has to do with how data is loaded, pre-processed, and augmented in PyTorch. If your training pipeline is bottlenecked by data pre-processing, you might decide to load the data in parallel. The canonical way of achieving this results in identical augmentations and can lead to performance degradation, but there’s a way to fix the problem.

How Python Dictionaries Work
Dictionaries are an important part of Python — not just because Python programmers use them a lot, but also because they are used internally by the Python interpreter to run Python code. In this in-depth article, you’ll learn about hash tables and hash functions as well as how Python dictionaries work behind the scenes.

Computer Vision and Embroidery
Andrew Healey’s wife wanted to find out what thread colors were used in some of the embroidery hoop images posted to the r/embroidery subreddit, so he embarked on a weekend project to solve the problem using the OpenCV computer vision library. Learn how he did it in this short, fun read, and then check out the source code over on his GitHub repository.
