Code With Jim

Now how did we end up here? Wolfram Mathematica Installation I installed Mathematica on both on Mac and PC, it was a pretty heavy 2.5 GB download and when installation completed, one will end up with 7-8 GB of hard disk space occupied.

And THEN, there is this annoyance where the license can only be activated on 1 machine. Switching from my Windows desktop environment to my MacBookPro, and I got this popup requesting System Transfer for the license. This is a typical commercial app :( Wolfram do feels like a Adobe Photoshop or Autodesk software (Maya, 3dsmax) or big bundled tools packaged. I still have to remind myself all the time that “Wolfram is a paid commercial app” . It brings back my nightmares a bit of having to deal with commercial apps. No matter what, Python and Jupyter migh...

Turtle slowly walks in spiral in search for Zen of programming. Over the weekend, I am again searching and exploring Jupyter Notebook in a heuristic fashion. I indeed found some interesting modules along the way that worth nothing, and as well discovering a few more *hickups*. Basically, I have a need to find enough "visual" modules, probably under 10 modules, that give me starting tools so that I could create some interesting Image Output, in the way that Wolfram Language can. Wolfram Lab Cloud indeed is powerful visually. I don't know how to explain, but being able to query Planets images (or all kind of stuff), and then seeing the list as image picture of some sort, then filtering the list or further scrambling the images... are brilliant. So, I do have come to some realization that a lot of codes are to be required and studied in order to be able to make some of the "cool stuffs" that Wolfram can do much easier. Yet, still, there is a good feel...
