I literally just got an email from some Biotech company in Maryland that is hiring Python Engineers. Learn Python. Apply to some Biotech companies as a Python Engineer. I'm almost certain your biotech experience would make up for your

I think that depends. There is some wiggle room. Some hobbies require dedication to reach a new level of enjoyment. Making music or playing an instrument, for example. Enjoyment is directly correlated with capability, because you can more r

I'd never heard it described this way, but man, this is me and my life in a nutshell! It always felt like a disadvantage. I always yearned to be more of an expert at any one particular thing, but like you, I've been trying to lean

To the second point, this is always how Jupyter behaves for me because I just "Run to cell"... If the other cells ran, it should be apparent with some sort of feedback. Don't need the output but at least visual feedback that

Although Earth is part of the story, it isn't at all the focus and there are other settings, and it is 100% absolutely worth a read: The Expanse series. 10 books. Brilliant prose, brilliant sci-fi. Incredible audiobook narration if tha

Man for what it is worth, I also have had a terrible time with the Aeron. Pretty sure it is giving me sciatica. I don't blame the chair necessarily, seems to work for a lot of people, but the intersection of the chair and my sitting st

Recently visited Chicago for the first time, and have been back once or twice since. I really liked the vibe there. It felt like it had a lot of energy (similar to New York) but felt much less claustrophobic, a bit more open, and a bit frie

I work in the DC tech scene. People kind of overlook it, but it pays well and the job security is very high, thanks to the DOD and DHS budgets. I'm gratefully working on something that I'm not ethically concerned with (as I might

I haven't used it in years but when I did, it was an absolute nightmare to work with, especially with respect to version control. There was no good way to version control their "templates", and collaborating was always painfu

I don't work for and am not affiliated with Spotify in any way, but I can honestly say Spotify has added more value to my life than almost any other app I have downloaded. I have discovered so much music that I genuinely adore. It'

Same here. Mine is basically directly correlated with bite pressure. When I'm chewing sometimes I can literally hear the ringing going "wah, wah, wah" in time with my chewing. And if I grit my teeth I can make it get much lou

It's the very beginning of "Book Two" of Mere Christianity. Not only were his direct quotes about atheism just generally terrible, his logical argument about atheism was equally terrible. I'm genuinely surprised he'

Mere Christianity is trash. Couldn't even get through the first chapter because he calls out atheism almost immediately and basically says it's not even worth discussing because it's stupid and not an actual philosophy, which

The CPI isn't a made up number. It's an average of prices of goods. The government doesn't manipulate prices of goods, at least not directly. Sure, the economy might be gamed by the government and large corporations in genera

How would one game the CPI? A price index is just an average of the prices of a bunch of different goods. We have pretty hard data on the prices of goods. People likely think inflation is higher because they purchase more of a particular go

Yikes. Scary to see this in the wild as one of my customers is moving to it and we'll likely be layering custom solutions on top of it...
