Anaconda is a type of snake, its like python that graduated with dual degree. His main goal is to swallow stuff, likes DFs. Friends call him "conda", it's cool.

[@yes3858]

Anaconda is dope!

[@530laflare9]

I second

[@philobrien4129]

"What is Anaconda?" Why not answer the question, instead of waffling on like a drunk at the bus stop?!

[@alwaysquestionyouropinions1119]

We use it mainly with a PYQT6 for GUI system and then anaconda to handle the data science part in my CS degree. I like it alot. Python tools are so easy to use compared with my c++ classes. In c++ everything becomes a thought experiment.

Nicki Minaj was the developer

lmaoo

[@os2002n77]

One think that I want to know their business model, how they profit?

[@xaviergill3070]

Dying to know this as well. Maybe enterprise level SaaS offerings?

[@MarioChavez-pq6nk]

I think is professional support, kinda like Canonical

[@matthewgraham790]

The problem of plots is solved, R (ggplot, shiny etc) does it perfectly, the problem is that it is in R

[@MrSalleh09]

My anaconda don't, my anaconda don't!

[@drinkbeetlejuice]

So what's the answer to the question? This guy talks a whole lot, but doesn't communicate much.

[@KrichkornOparad]

The answer is on 43 second mark, "The way to translate data science to the web" Numpy, Pandas, Bokeh, Jupyter and more are part of it

[@carlossegura403]

I use anaconda every day 🙏🙏🙏

[@adelinaquijano1083]

he speak the words individual

[@dc7370]

lost artificially intelligent robots are a quandary

[@travisfitzwater8093]

Anacondas are really good name bravo but what explains all these weird names that like you're almost impossible to remember I'm sure that silicon valley is great at writing complicated mathematical strings of digital characters and all but where's the common sense and where are the marketing directors by golly anyways I can come down there and straighten them all out if you want but somebody's going to pay me but anaconda is good Google's good Facebook is good I mean there's a lot of stuff that's got the right name but when you get down to these secondary and tertiary behind the scenes companies they got all these weird you know names but good good job anaconda forgetting the name that's you know clearly unique memorable appropriate in some you know stretch of a metaphorical way so it's all good peace

[@travisfitzwater8093]

Mr Travis tell me sir as a thought experiment if you were Abraham and you were fighting the pharaoh's magicians for the ultimate test in whether or not your people get to leave the burden of enforce indenturement in the lands of the Pharaoh what kind of a snake would your rod turn into and what kind of a snake do you think the Kings the Pharaohs magicians rod would turn into namely who gets the pharaoh who gets the anaconda and who gets the python and answered in an unbiased way like pretend you are Abraham just think of Abraham I don't know the answer but I figured you might I mean you know I guess Abraham was the Victor so you're probably going to choose him but that would be cheating you know we want to know python anaconda

[@momothunder9544]

1st and love anaconda

[@badpotato]

my anaconda don't...
