Consistency is key to mastery.

Every day, I'll be posting a polars function I've learned and I'll do it for 100 days straight. I'm calling this #100DaysOfPolars

I want the public to hold me accountable so I don't miss a day.

Here's post #001
In #datascience or #analysis it's common to count unique values. But whitespace can lead to false counts.

In Polars, there's a function to correct that.

the MIT comma is fundamentally underrated
programming languages should all support the MIT comma:

R:
function(
foo,
bar,
baz
)
python:
function(
foo,
bar,
baz,
)
MIT comma lets you comment out every argument. In contrast, commenting out baz in the R function call throws a syntax error.
