Tryo Labs is continuing its tradition of retrospectives about the best Python libraries for the past year. This year, it seems, it’s all about serverless architectures and, of course, AI/ML. A lot of cool stuff happening in the latter space. Check out this year’s retrospective and also the discussion on Reddit. (And here’s a link to Tryo’s 2015 retrospective for those curious.)
Flowingdata has a list of their own: Best Data Visualization Projects of 2016/. If you haven’t seen the one about the evolution of bacteria that is a “live” visualization conducted on a giant petri dish, check it out.
