MAME: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAME "TI-83 Plus Calculator Emulation" https://archive.org/details/ti83p-calculator TI-83 series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-83_series : > Symbolic manipulation (differentiation, algebra) is not built into the TI-83 Plus. It can be programmed using a language called TI-BASIC, which is similar to the BASIC computer language. Programming may also be done in TI Assembly, made up of Z80 assembly and a collection of TI provided system calls. Assembly programs run much faster, but are more difficult to write. Thus, the writing of Assembly programs is often done on a computer. I had a TI-83 Plus in middle school, and then bought a TI-83 Plus Silver edition for high school. The TI-83 Plus was the best calculator allowed for use by the program back then. FWIU these days it's the TI-84 Plus, which has USB

but no CAS Computer Algebra System. The JupyterLite build of JupyterLab - and https://NumPy.org/ - include the SymPy CAS Computer Algebra System and a number of other libraries; and there's an `assert` statement in Python; but you'd need to build your own JupyterLab WASM bundle to host as static HTML if you want to include something controversial like pytest-hypothesis. https://jupyterlite.rtfd.io/ Better than a TI-83 Plus emulator? Install MambaForge in a container to get the `conda` and `mamba` package managers (and LLVM-optimized CPython on Win, Mac, Lin) and then `mamba install -y jupyterlab tabulate pandas matplotlib sympy`; or login to e.g. Google Colab, Cocalc, or https://Kaggle.com/learn ( https://GitHub.com/Kaggle/docker-python ) . To install packages every time a notebook runs: !python -m pip install # or %pip install <pkgs> !conda install -y !mamba install -y But NumPy.org, JupyterLite, and Colab, and Kaggle Learn all already have a version of SymPy installed (per their reproducible software version dependency files; requirements.txt, environment.yml (Jupyter REES; repo2docker)) Like MAME, which is the emulator for the TI-83 Plus and other calculators hosted by this new Internet Archive project, Emscripten-forge builds WASM (WebAssembly) that runs in an application-sandboxed browser tab as the same user as other browser tab subprocesses.

In Ask HN: API to run Python code, what can go wrong?
Use cases for conda or conda+pip: - Already-compiled packages (where there may not be binary wheels) instead of requiring reinstallation and subsequent removal of e.g. build-essentials for every install - Support for R, Julia, NodeJS, Qt, ROS, CUDA, MKL, etc. - Here's what the Kaggle docker-python Dockerfile installs with conda and with pip: https://github.com/Kaggle/docker-python/blob/master/Dockerfi... - Build matrix in one container with conda envs Disadvantages of the official python images as compared with conda+pip: - Necessary to (re)install build dependencies and a compiler for every build (if there's not a bdist or a wheel for the given architecture) and then uninstall all unnecessary transitive dependencies. This is where a [multi-stage] build of a manylinux wheel may be the best approach. - No LSM (AppArmor, SELinux, ) for one

or more processes in the container (which may have read access to /etc or environment variables and/or --privileged) - Necessary to build basically everything on non x86[-64] architectures for every container build Disadvantages of conda / conda+pip: - Different package repo infrastructure to mirror - Users complaining that they don't need conda who then proceed to re-download and re-build wheels locally multiple times a day Additional attributes for comparison: - The new pip solver (which is slower than the traditional iterative non-solver), conda, and mamba - repo2docker (and thus BinderHub) can build an up-to-date container from requirements.txt, environment.yml, install.R, postBuild and any of the other dependency specification formats supported by REES: Reproducible Environment Execution Standard; which may be helpful as Docker Hub images will soon be deleted if they're not retrieved at least once every 6 months (possibly with a GitHub Actions cron task)

Pachyderm may be basically what you're looking for. It does data version control with/for language-agnostic pipelines that don't need to always redo the ETL phase. https://www.pachyderm.io Dask-ML works with {scikit-learn, xgboost, tensorflow, TPOT,}. ETL is your responsibility. Loading things into parquet format affords a lot of flexibility in terms of (non-SQL) datastores or just efficiently packed files on disk that need to be paged into/over in RAM. http://ml.dask.org/examples/scale-scikit-learn.html Sklearn.pipeline.Pipeline API: {fit(), transform(), predict(), score(),} https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.pi... https://docs.featuretools.com can also minimize ad-hoc boilerplate ETL / feature engineering : > Featuretools is a framework to perform automated feature engineering.

nd relational datasets into feature matrices for machine learning. The PLoS 10 Simple Rules papers distill a number of best practices: "Ten Simple Rules for Reproducible Computational Research" http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fj... “Ten Simple Rules for Creating a Good Data Management Plan” http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/jou... In terms of the scientific method, a null hypothesis like "there is no significant relation between the [independent and dependent] variables" may be dangerously unprofessional p-hacking and data dredging; and may result in an overfit model that seems to predict or classify the training and test data (when split with e.g. sklearn.model_selection.train_test_split and a given random seed). One of these days (in the happy new year!) I'll get around to updating these notes with the aforementioned tools and docs: https://wrdrd.github.io/docs/consulting/data-science#scienti...
