Python PodcastPython in der Wissenschaft Python in der Wissenschaft (click here to comment) 1. Juli 2019, Jochen In unserer elften Episode reden wir mit Gerrit über Python in der Wissenschaft. Themen
waren diesmal das Veröffentlichen von Code, das Setzen von Code in Veröffentlichungen
und Codegolf.
Es war etwas warm im Wintergarten, aber falls Auphonic es schafft, das Ventilatorengeräusch
herauszufiltern, sollte zumindest die Audioqualität diesmal wieder passen. Apropos Audioqualität,
einer der Sprecher hatte ein schlechteres Headset als die Anderen. Könnt ihr heraushören
