Installation¶
- You have to install the complete version of Dask (using the command
pip3 install dask[complete]) if you need support of extended memory (for handling big data) and schedulers (for performance). The default installation version (pip3 install dask) of Dask does not include those features out-of-box.

Named Arguments in Kotlin
Function Overload and Named Arguments¶
- Function overload might cause tricky invoking bugs if you change the signature of an overloaded function. You should always be careful when you change the signature of an overloaded function. There is a graceful way of resolving this kind of issues in Kotlin (and similarly in Scala and Python), which is to use named arguments. If you invoke an function with named arguments, it is relatively robust to change of order of arguments and it fails fast if you change the names of arguments.
Bitwise Operators in Java
The Bitwise operators has relative low precedence. They have lower precedence than arithmatical operators. It is suggested that you use parentheses when you mix lower precendenc (bitwise opertors, ternary opertor, etc.) and high precendenc operators together.
