I was doing something similar in email marketing. Used decision tree models with a lot of feature engineering to help predict email open rates.

Not a book, but definitely check out The Economist's Christmas edition. A lot of in depth articles on a wide array of subjects ranging from historical artifacts to road journeys to contemporary life.

Keto was the only diet I could lose weight with. One thing a lot of other diet plans ignore is satiety. If you are hungry or crave food, it is basically an addiction. You will not stop till satieted. Sugars and starches spike glucose levels

>would only make sense given the context of what grades of engineers are present in a company I'm at a major bank and the senior and principal title gets used a lot for devs that are clearly in junior or mid level roles.

Cassini is my favorite space mission. It has really changed our view of the solar system and beyond. Some of the most fascinating places are going to be moons of these gas giants.

Saturn also has way cooler moons. Enceladus with jets of water. Titan with lakes and a thick atmosphere. Mimas, which looks like the death star.

Can we have the latest version of R on there? Have you tested Rcpp and Rjava?

Makes sense, but only if it is your own company.

The most sensible approach. Anyone can jump back and forth between the two without much problem since a lot of the syntax is so similar. It is better to have more tools in your arsenal than less.

I wonder how many pathogens may be climbing the scale of threat level now that many antibiotics do not work on them.

I visited a 3d printing center a few weeks ago. The guy was extremely busy printing all sorts of products for hospitals and medical labs. The occasional comicon type stuff came in, but a huge demand for b2b 3d printing.

Very interesting. Have you tested it fully on a wide array of geolocation data? Such as what are the mappings for a variety of cities and towns, where some may fit a string definition or geolocation, such as "Pleasant". I have use

Does anyone know what underlying differences there are in Python 3 unicode handling versus Go's rune system. I have found the latter far easier to work with when dealing with text characters in other languages.

I have heard of other teams like that and I am jealous. But there are some managers stuck in the past and an old way of thinking. Those that think it is acceptable to play the stack ranking politics, bully underlings, micromanage, etc. I do
