I switched to "mostly vegan" a few years ago. My health dramatically improved. Bad cholesterol was halved. I will continue with what works for me. Having a cheeseburger once a year was a treat until the last time I tried one a

I think it's a valuable addition to open source but not a marketable product. If it hasn't caught your attention yet, I recommend looking at what the team at Materialize is building. They're beta testing postgresql support

Don't drop from your path just yet. Try working for another company in a data scientist role, in a different industry. Something is missing but may be found elsewhere.

I had a few really strong reasons to push through, but it is understandable why others decide not to. It hasn't been cheap. I ate sunk costs plenty by adopting too early. I get angry at how much better the ecosystem and resources are

At least compared to PayPal?! PayPal refused to help with a fraudulent short term rental payment. Thank God that I paid through PayPal with a credit card and the credit card company helped. Horrible company.

I wonder the exact same thing. My parents bought me a book on turbo c++ in the early-90s because I was interested in programming. I had no idea what to make of it. No context. It wasn't engaging for me. What I really wanted to lear
