but specifically for DS i doubt lambda school or anyone else could land you a job in a year going from 0->100. from what i can tell the market is looking for either advanced degrees or many many years of experience.

i'm glad i commented so you could inform me - there's always another side to everything. that makes some sense, though like you say it must be partial. i have no problem with japanese motorcycles which seem to be much much quieter

similar situation for me currently but i manage to survive using a white noise machine. I also leave the fan on in the summer for the noise. I wonder if I would feel better if i transitioned to a quiet sleeping environment. i've though

not very convincing. The lack of CCP-imposed restrictions is hardly an inimitable differentiator. The unfortunate truth is that HK's cultural and economic importance is so diminished that the government is not that afraid of the curren

I think this is very well said. Even as a Chinese-American born and raised in the US I feel unease with many aspects of the western narrative. It is very easy for me to see how things could be interpreted as xenophobia and/or arrogance

Why does he get more credit for not being a physicist?? So he made an uninformed conjecture that turned out to be true? (whether it is true also seems up in the air right now?) I don't understand why that deserves kudos. I would very m

who says they're not blocked? ublock origin certainly blocks it for me?

data.table is amazing. after getting over the learning curve i pretty much never touched dplyr again. pandas... lol. Hopefully https://github.com/h2oai/datatable lives up to its counterpart managing python dependencies

I encourage you to talk to some Chinese-Americans, at least they will have some understanding of both viewpoints unlike all the Western and Chinese media coverage out there

I should have fleshed out my comment for sure, was in a bit of a rush! first off I found it interesting to frame R as being presented as an improvement over python. should be the other way around. python for DS came second, and was supposed

what's with the hostility.. anyway im sure that still happens a lot. in my limited experience people also depend on maintaining and sharing pdf banks

why should my culture or background influence my need for transportation? the swiss have different economic classes too so let's not bring that in play.

under the academic publishers' system, now that I'm out of school I don't even have access to a paper that I coauthored. very thankful for scihub and Elbakyan

well spitballing.. does it have to be in space? and what if we split the mirror into many smaller ones? what if we launched a bunch of mirrored balloons?

wouldn't it make more sense to add more images, not remove existing data?

i wont claim to be a serious badass, but taking these exams without a calculator is very doable when you consider how the questions are scored. I forgot my calculator for ap phys C and just left all my answers in symbolic form without numer

for anything involving concrete deliverables and obligations, I really like having a written log. Like you say, it also forces communication to be more explicit. It's easy to handwave details away in voice. OTOH something like story id

...of course? Who else would you even be debating with? What is there to discuss between two people who hate scientology? Isn't the point of debate to entertain different views and/or to persuade others?

what kind of "discourse" are you aiming for after you've labeled and dismissed everyone with a pro-China sentiment? a debate where the only participants have the same opinions seems like the least productive possible form of

absolutely. judging from the state of US math education relative to RoW, what fields of math to teach barely registers as a problem

but I acknowledge that questioning your beliefs is good. It's foundational to the scientific method. I just don't see how uninformed challenges are worthwhile. At this point things like vaccine effectiveness are basic facts. What

by bllguo 7y ago
The idea of questioning science and informed skepticism is valuable, but I don't think it stems from anti-intellectualism. How can people who distrust science to that degree come up with meaningful criticism? I don't see what valu

absolutely. pandas is just something i put up with to be able to use everything else in python, i'd drop it in a heartbeat.

i feel like people take it personally when it's pointed out that political will in the US is, for lack of a better term, pathetically low

by bllguo 7y ago
uh, can't agree there. i will absolutely blame voters, myself included, for voting in apathetic politicians. pointing fingers like this is the mindset that gets nothing done in this country.

uh, you may be missing the point. Few if any are against cars because the experience is poor. Absolutely the experience is individually superior. The point is that car usage is selfish, wasteful and generally worse for society as a whole. i

But it seems like an apathetic kind of want. There are degrees imo; if the people truly wanted something they would exert more effort than this showing. As it stands people may say they want it in polls but won't even vote for politici
