This year we’ve seen remarkable advances in agentic AI, including systems that conduct deep research, operate computers, complete substantial software engineering tasks, and tackle a range of other complex, multi-step goals. In each case, the industry relied on careful vertical integration: tools and agents were
Read moreInteractive Quiz ⋅ 10 QuestionsBy Ian Eyre Share Challenge yourself with this quiz and see how much you understand about dropping null values in pandas. Working through this quiz is a great way to revisit what you learned in the How to Drop Null Values in pandas tutorial. You’ll find most of the answers in the tutorial content, but for some of the questions, you might need to do some extra digging. The quiz contains 10 questions and there is […]
Read moreMissing values can derail your analysis. In pandas, you can use the .dropna() method to remove rows or columns containing null values—in other words, missing data—so you can work with clean DataFrames. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how this method’s parameters let you control exactly which data gets removed. As you’ll see, these parameters give you fine-grained control over how much of your data to clean. Dealing with null values is essential for keeping datasets clean and avoiding the issues […]

In a recent article by David Lattimore, he demonstrates a number of Rust performance tricks, including one that involve writing code that looks like a loop, but which in practice is optimized down to a fixed number of instructions. Having what looks like an O(n) loop turned into a constant operation is great for speed! But there’s a problem with this sort of trick: how do you know the compiler will keep doing it? What happens when the compiler’s next […]

Read moreInteractive Quiz ⋅ 11 QuestionsBy Stephen Gruppetta Share This quiz helps you practice sorting dictionaries by keys, values, and custom rules in modern Python. You’ll revisit how insertion order works, when to use different views, and how to rebuild sorted dictionaries. You’ll also learn best practices for sorting dictionaries efficiently. For a complete overview, check out Sorting Dictionaries: Keys, Values, and More. The quiz contains 11 questions and there is no time limit. You’ll get 1 point for each correct […]
Read morePython’s .split() method lets you divide a string into a list of substrings based on a specified delimiter. By default, .split() separates at whitespace, including spaces, tabs, and newlines. You can customize .split() to work with specific delimiters using the sep parameter, and control the amount of splits with maxsplit. By the end of this video course, you’ll understand that: You split a string by spaces in Python using .split() without arguments. Python’s .split() method can split on custom delimiters […]
Read moreMemory and network bottlenecks are increasingly limiting AI system performance by reducing GPU utilization and overall efficiency, ultimately preventing infrastructure from reaching its full potential despite enormous investments. At the core of this challenge is a fundamental trade-off in the communication technologies used for memory and network interconnects. Datacenters typically deploy two types of physical cables for communication between GPUs. Traditional
Read morePython is making history, and headlines. The much-anticipated Python: The Documentary premiered last month, capturing 34 years of programming history. But Python isn’t just looking back, it’s also moving forward at breakneck speed. The recent developer surveys revealed Python’s explosive growth. At the same time, the Python Software Foundation paused its grants program amid unprecedented demand, PyPI implemented multiple security enhancements, while JetBrains announced a transition for PyCharm Community Edition into a unified product model. Here’s what’s been happening in […]
