Python

Preface I would like to express my gratitude to Matthew Powers for testing my project and providing feedback, and to Steve Russo for offering a valuable review of my code and drawing my attention to avoiding the use of unwrap. Prior to his review, some parts of the code looked like this: let distr_k = Uniform::<i64>::try_from(1..=k).unwrap(); let distr_nk = Uniform::<i64>::try_from(1..=(n / k)).unwrap(); let distr_5 = Uniform::<i64>::try_from(1..=5).unwrap(); let distr_15 = Uniform::<i64>::try_from(1....

The problem Recently I decided to switch from Ubuntu to NixOS. Do not ask me why, it was just for fun mostly. One of the main ideas behind NixOS is to separation of dependencies: each new package is installed into separate sandbox with own scope of dependencies. By design it should make system significantly more stable but sometimes there are problems. One of such problems I faced with pyenv – a tool for simplifying python versions management....

Generating Python docstrings with GPT and Emacs Motivation There is an open source library in which I'm a maintainer. And recently I committed to creating docstrings for all the public functions and methods. I heard that recent Large Language Models (LLM) are good enough in the annotation of texts and documenting of code so I decided to try to use one of OpenAI models to solve this problem. In this post I will use Emacs plugins and extensions to generate docstrings but most advises about which prompt is better to use are generic and may be used with different code editors and IDE's....
