Exactly why I hope it will flop and they decide it's not worth the money. It's disgusting how tech companies take something free and try to monetize it by hiding it under a veneer of "accessibility" and "integration". One can only hope that information regarding FOSS will remain easily accessible and that the group this update is targeting is insignificant enough. I doubt any serious data scientist would opt to Excel + Python over just Python for big enough data sets, and the average Excel user, let's face it, is unlikely to learn Python.

And honestly, for data you should be using formats like .csv anyways. i really don't see who this update is supposed to target. If you're using Python, the data must be large enough to warrant its use.

I truly wonder why. I mean, others just package a python installation, but Microsoft wants to use the cloud. Very peculiar.

Just consider that by using Ubuntu inside Windows, they're trying to make you not install Linux on hardware itself.

Yeah, Roscosmos was a pretty normal space agency, ESA even had collaborations with them (ExoMars comes to mind). It's Putin's political decisions that have all but ended Roscosmos. I can't see them recovering from this, at least not in the near future.

Forget the moon, the USSR put probes on Venus (the Venera missions).

I myself use TeXStudio with a texlive-full install. I may switch to something else, but currently it is a convenient setup.

I wonder what the numbers are for the rest of the world. it seems to me that Androids are much more popular at the far reaches of the EU e.g.

According to the article, this seems to be a Wolf-Rayet star though, decidedly not main sequence.

But your point remains, it is a massive outlier.

I'll just add that as an undergrad asking grad students can also be often insightful.
