Spreading out computation is made simple in Python with the built-in multiprocessing module. Yet, it is not immediately obvious how to effectively portray the completion status in a progress bar. In this brief tutorial, I demonstrate how to easily and accurately display the progress of a multiprocessing pool.
In the course of my work, I stumbled across a misconception I had about the Final type annotation. I perceived it to mean that the annotated object should not be mutated. In this post, I demonstrate how this is an incorrect understanding of the Final type hint and a better solution to get help from the type checker in these situations.
Pushing Rust projects to Deta can require cross-compiling or timeout during the build process. Compiling on a Linux runner on GitHub Actions and pushing the artifact can solve both of these issues.
I provide a simple example of a Dirichlet regression in PyMC. This form of generalized linear model is appropriate when modeling proportions of multiple groups, that is, when modeling a collection of positive values that must sum to a constant. Some common examples include ratios and percentages.
