Honestly, not necessarily--there are often many ways to solve a given software problem. If someone else has a vision for the software and a plan to achieve it as a team, as long as I can see that it is looks like a viable alternative I&#x27

Thank you for pulling this all together here, it really helped me understand what everyone is talking about!

I believe that is one of the points the author of the article is trying to make: that the data scientists ought to be able to work in whatever language lets them develop the model most quickly and then hand it over to a software developer t

I expect that it makes sense to have the modelers do at least enough coding to test the common use cases/expected inputs for the model to validate it before handing it off to be "properly" implemented.

That sounds similar to my experience with the Python ecosystem (of which I have a profound dislike at the moment). If you haven't tried Mamba yet I encourage you to give it a shot; for me it has had a pretty significant impact on the t

Thank you for sharing this, and for providing a way to use other editors--I can't wait to try it with an Emacs client! (I had something similar in the past with just Firefox; I love the idea of being able to access it from anywhere!)

I believe the trees continue to grow over the intervening near-decade between harvests, sequestering CO2 not only in the part of the bark that is harvested (which sounds like it is potentially only a meter or two off the ground) but also as

In that case, my condolences.

It was fun and engaging and I enjoyed it! That having been said, and I apologize for raining on the parade, but I do not think it is a new type of puzzle. It's basically a visual representation of a state machine. I believe the cla

Not sure whether it would help, but if someone finds themselves in this kind of situation maybe try to find a way to discreetly suss out whether they are doing it because they've drunk the kool aid or as a "work to rule" stra

I still do. Generally data structures and flow more than actual code these days, but sometimes I'll also sketch out an API or something by hand. I find it tremendously helpful for cultivating understanding, designing systems, and solvi

Given the continuing high price of video cards these days, I'm going to say yes, many people are still leveraging GPUs for mining. EDIT: Maybe not as much as previously, but still enough to have a noticeable impact on the market.

As someone who likes functional programming, I appreciate .bind as a reasonably convenient way to do partial function application.

I think the idea is more that the waste heat pouring off the CPUs (crypto processing units ;-) ) could be used to help heat up a living space

Best of luck with that! I'm a little too close to 45 for that to be likely to work for me, but in the meantime I am pursuing working arrangements that are more sustainable and fulfilling!

Thanks! So far so good, though the packing up to move is taking longer than I'd like ;-)

Not sure exactly what you're looking for but it at least seems to do a good job of telling me the line in my .fnl file that has the error (though it also says "in function ?" despite being in a named function). Also, that&#x

Definitely have been struggling with stuff along these lines since my late 20s or so. It's been kind of like a revelation-onion, slowly peeling back the layers of expectations from myself and from others and realizing "Hey maybe

I fully believe that there are companies out there for which this is true. I also know that there is at least one organization out there for which it is not true, at least in several parts of the organization, because I've spent the la

Kleen Kanteen sells non-insulated metal bottles as well; I've used them for this purpose (not sleeping, but holding against my body to help stay warm in a cool room). Bonus: once the temperature drops far enough you can also drink it

FWIW we used to make rice on the stove for years and it was fine, but then we got an Instant Pot and it's even better--makes rice that was comparable to what we'd get with the stove, plus all the other stuff you can use it for. S

I suspect, though I have no documentation, that they are generally built with "cleanout" access points along the exhaust path (possibly in the form of "these are the stones to chisel out if the thing needs cleaning; be sure t

If you're on board with loose-leaf, I haven't found a better paper than HP's Premium LaserJet paper for use with fountain pens at a reasonable price point. I know it's a bit counterintuitive ("Printer paper? Serious

Oh hey, I'd clean forgotten about that one! Thanks for pointing that out!

FWIW it's the Mississippi, but your description is probably more valuable given your point. (Though I think it's wild that people drive across the Mississippi , and I grew up just southeast of there in Rochester!)

tl;dr -- I have spent the last nearly-fifteen years at a large-ish (5k-10k employees) research-oriented US government contractor and generally yes, I do feel free to express myself where I work (it is a large part of why I have stayed so lo

Regarding your last statement, and depending on how much experience you have with the software-dev side, you may find you have more options than you expect. Lots of folks seem to be looking for software devs at the moment, and I personally

Very reassuring to hear that I am not the only one in a position like that; thank you for sharing! (I am planning on stepping pretty firmly off the path to Principal Staff to substantially alleviate work-related stress and anxiety)
