I have come across this eye opening article. In that I learnt about Colab, short for Colaboratory, a free Jupyter Notebook environment offered by Google. So you can experiment with Phython in that environment. Colab provides access to powerful hardware resources in the cloud, including GPUs and TPUs, which can be beneficial for tasks like machine learning and data analysis. These resources are free to use within usage limits.


Sounds good to me. My only concern is that I haven't coded anything in Phyton so far. Well, you can always start from somewhere, can't you?

Hop, I'm assuming you are talking about "Python".  Python is a pretty easy programming language to pick up if you already know how to program.  It has become the language of choice for many people in science/technical fields like physicists, astronomers, biologists, etc.  I'm semi-retired but picked up teaching computer science at the nearby technical college and I've been teaching an intro to programming class using Python every Fall for the past several years.

Of course. Tell me something that I do not know.


I always mistype it. Python is installed on my pc for years and I sometimes experiment with it but I have never felt like coding in it seriously. But using this "powerful hardware resources in the cloud" thing for free makes me motivated. I always come across problems my slow pc cannot cope with.

OK, python is spelled P Y T H O N. 😉

I think we all know what the best Pythons are, therefore I cannot tell Hop or anyone else, something that they do not know.

Thanks everybody, for the PUNS !!!  Sorry if I interrupted your original idea.

Note: my name is "Punster", though !!

By the way, I did work in programming, but never learned python.  I worked mostly with COBOL.

P>S>, I'll bet you didn't KNOW that !   :-)

Re: thread's title...I considered an earnest attempt conveying notions of seeming import, although assuming nescience thereof seems distastefully presumptuous (so I'll pass (at least for now)).

I bet most of the members here do not know how this desert is done. And as for myself, I first ate it when I was about twenty and had never heard of even its name till then.


Though it is called with some other names in different places we call it künefe here.


Here's a reaction from an American trying it for the first time.

Did you possibly post a different part of that video some time ago?  That American guy seems so very familiar, and maybe it was the section about baklava??

In any event..........please bring a truckload to the next cellstock in the States.  Thanks in advance.  :)

Possibly yes. But maybe it was a different video.
