I went back for a full time MBA at 30, an MS in computer science at 35 and moved into machine learning from finance at 40. I have no idea what my late 40s will bring but I think despite a bit of career “lostness” I eventually found what I

Every mile will help. We can’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Traffic woes may never end, but they can certainly be alleviated.

Imagine not building something because there will be more demand. I don’t care if they never scale to 100% demand, every additional mile of lane helps.

Governments can buy property. There are lots of things that can be cut by government to get more roads - all that public assistance that goes to a small portion of people can be re-examined and reapportioned to help all people via roads ra

Not a nightmare at all - simply add more roads or more lanes on major highways where there are backups. People have a right to travel the way they want, and pay tax money to do so.

If this is the case then move the cones barrels where you haven’t done any work yet. In the states you often see miles cordoned off by barrels with no work has been done yet, well beyond where any person would say there is a safety issue.

Interesting! I've been thinking about what you are doing but instead using DuckDB and Postgres but maybe I'll give Clickhouse a look instead of Postgres.

What’s the difference between using duckdb and clickhouse? Do you use them together or are they very similar?

Flights are expensive enough. The world isn’t going to end and neither is mankind. Relax, you’ll be fine.

I’m with you. Telling airlines they need to refund due to weather or bad mechanics just invites them to take more risks.

The WSJ article mentions that the CEO mapped out his plan at a cafe with a McKinsey consultant. No matter how badly this goes, sounds like McKinsey will make out again…

A lot of people love Jellyfin, and it’s very clean and works well, but I find that a lot of media types don’t work. I never have any problems with kodi and all sorts of video media, but it’s definitely more bloated than jellyfin. Kodi jus

The article mentions that incorrectly as well. Or is that what GP is?

Really good point here - couldnt the fake woods claim he was indeed the one paying into it, and claim it after he’s released from jail? If the court has any credibility, they should first jail the fake one for a long time, then make things

Curious - do you feel lack of math mastery hinders your machine learning knowledge? I ask because despite pretty advanced math in several postgrad programs with good grades, I feel like my true math skills are shit.

As a small l libertarian, I’m totally fine with any and all drugs being legal provided there is a clause that government doesn’t need to support you if they ruin your life.

Wait, are you saying you can’t write negative things about the GOP?

We aren’t Europe though. Many Americans have no interest in paying even more taxes. Glad I avoided working and living in NY.

Good point here - and a lot is just left off the list if it doesn’t agree with the editors “beliefs” even if it’s really a bestseller in terms of sales.

Can I ask - why the dislike for virtualenvwrapper? If you are saying that it can have occasional problems, I agree with you. But it makes the process so much simpler. The occasional problems I’ve had (had an issue once or twice deleting a

People using those Gillette multi blades are throwing money away. The double edge safety razor is much cheaper even if you throw out the blade every 2 or so shaves. Strongly recommend buying a cheaper handle and trying the blades for a few

Free market works fine. You are welcome to write and release any book you want at whatever cost you want. Authors require lots of money, support costs to create, illustrate, bundle, bind, and ship books. And they won’t waste their time d

One thing missed in this writing is that shotspotter also saves lives. In my city, people shot in the alley and left for dead are found shortly after they are shot because of the detection. Without this tech, some would be left to a slow d

I’ve been moving over to use polars more often for my data work. It’s much faster than pandas at things like imputing millions of lines. It’s also a little more intuitive and you don’t waste time pissing around with indexes everytime you
