This will kind of clean up your current recommendations but it doesn't reset the recommendation algorithm like it used to. The algorithm still retains memory of your past behaviour. For example if I consistently listen to 3 unrelated s

Google search is one of the most used products on or off the internet with billions of people using it billions times a day. So no, it isn't dying. It's about as far from dying as any product can be. There's a different quest

by beforeolives 5y ago
Yes, SQL does have the problem of bad composeability and some things being less explicit than they are when working with dataframes. Dplyr is probably the most sane API out of all of them.

Nice article. Pandas gets the job done but it's such a step backwards in terms of useability, API consistency and code feel. You can do anything that you can possibly need with it but you regularly have to look up things that you'

This isn't how any of this works. You're completely ignoring the rest of the job market. "It may dissuade" - no, you're moving your operations abroad with extra steps.
