- How a poet’s long-forgotten daughter created the first algorithm
Aug 13, 2025 · original
In 1815, the only legitimate daughter of Lord Byron, the famed Romantic poet, was born, a child he would never meet. Raised by a mother determined to scrub away “poetical insanity” with pure logic, Ada Lovelace grew into a woman who sketched flying machines while bedridden with measles, dazzled London’s elite at soirees with her grasp of mathematics, and secretly ran a horse-racing betting syndicate powered by math. She created the first computer program ever for a machine that wouldn’t exist to run it until more than a century beyond her lifetime. Her life was a collision of poetry and precision, scandal and science, and her ideas still reverberate in the technology we use today. The making of Ada Ada was born on December 10, 1815, to Lord Byron, the famed Romantic poet whose work stirred both adoration and scandal across Britain, and Annabella Milbanke, a highly educated and wealthy wo - You might not need a Python class
Jul 24, 2025 · original
Python is an incredibly versatile programming language known for its simplicity and readability. Among its features, the ability to use classes for object-oriented programming is both powerful and frequently recommended. However, classes aren’t always the best solution. In many cases, Python’s built-in types, functions, and standard library modules provide simpler, cleaner alternatives. Here are several scenarios where you might not need a Python class: Simple Data Containers: Use Named Tuples or Data Classes Often, classes are created just to store data. Python’s built-in alternatives, such as named tuples or data classes (Python 3.7+), can be simpler and more concise. Example with a Class: class Point : def __init__(self, x, y): self . x = x self . y = y point = Point( 10 , 20 ) Alternative with NamedTuple: from collections import namedtuple Point = namedtuple( 'Point' , [ 'x' , 'y' ])
