I have an updated version of this on my blog here: https://chrisamico.com/blog/2023-01-14/python-setup/.

Python

This is my recommended Python setup, as of Fall 2022. The Python landscape can be a confusing mess of overlapping tools that sometimes don't work well together. This is an effort to standardize our approach and environments.

Tools and helpful links:

• Python docs: https://docs.python.org/3/
• Python Standard Library:  - Start here when you're trying to solve a specific problem

This is a list inspired by some of our current or potential lines of work at the World Bank Innovation Labs. The “Innovations in Big Data Analytics” program helps to strengthen the World Bank capabilities to effectively use big data in its operational and strategic work.

We are always looking for great Data Scientists. If you can solve any of these [using open software], you'll be heads down helping us from day one. Email us to brunosanchez@worldbank.org

1. Nightlights from Satellite

We are building an open stack to process nightly data from satellite and query light output from all known villages. Currently we are doing 20 years of nightly data for 600,000 villages in India.

Here's my own list of the interesting stuff announced during this year's WWDC, collected from the keynotes, various Apple docs, blog posts and tweets.

If you're planning to watch the videos, I really recommend this Mac app that helps you download and watch them: https://github.com/insidegui/WWDC.

How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

One of the best ways to reduce complexity (read: stress) in web development is to minimize the differences between your development and production environments. After being frustrated by attempts to unify the approach to SSL on my local machine and in production, I searched for a workflow that would make the protocol invisible to me between all environments.

Most workflows make the following compromises:

• Use HTTPS in production but HTTP locally. This is annoying because it makes the environments inconsistent, and the protocol choices leak up into the stack. For example, your web application needs to understand the underlying protocol when using the secure flag for cookies. If you don't get this right, your HTTP development server won't be able to read the cookies it writes, or worse, your HTTPS production server could pass sensitive cookies over an insecure connection.

• Use production SSL certificates locally. This is annoying
