The redisgraph functionality is really cool, it makes it an interesting choice over SQLite for small data science projects. The search functionality also is helpful for data science projects. Does anyone know what this RSAL license’s impact

Cool project, did you learn anything interesting from implementing it? I think I see that the malloc functionality is provided by some DLLs that you import: https://github.com/ZeroIntensity/pointers.py/blob/ma

Gonna throw in one of my own picks for Concurrency, I landed on this book a few months ago called “The Little Book of Semaphores” on synchronization with examples in python: https://greenteapress.com/wp/semaphores/

These are some good picks but kind of strange they don’t mention concurrency once on the page.

It’s not really reinventing the wheel, I make use of sql, pandas, pyspark, sparksql, data.table, bigquery, it all depends on the use case. Dataframe abstractions are really easy to understand so I have worked with journalists and biologists

A built in a lot of people don’t know is operator.itemgetter and operator.attrgetter they can be used together with functools and itertools for a lot of purposes for example you can sort a list of tuples using operator.itemgetter and sort:

Two major reasons I use SQLite are the built in full text search https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html and fuzzy matching https://www.sqlite.org/spellfix1.html these are two things you often want to do with your

I work on a frontend team, you usually want at least 1 person on the team who reviews code by pulling and running it. They can find unique bugs you didn’t think of while coding. For me, if I’m not busy I try to run it, if I’m busy I probabl

I was really impressed with a lot of the GPT3 stuff I had seen people showing so I gave it a spin myself. I was surprised by how repetitive it seemed to be, it would write new sentences but it would repeat the same concepts among similar pr

I feel like this should be the takeaway. Instead of blaming users there should be some system that allows patches, updates and new features to be published to these smart contracts. It just seems silly that any programmer would think it’s a

I don’t think the problem is making people think before posting. HNs /new has a lot of great content in there but most of it gets little attention, I think the problem is there needs to be a system that encourages voting especially on

On the flip side companies don’t really seem to care if you’re interested either. I applied to around 200 companies in the final 2 years of my data science undergrad and no matter how much interest I showed in the fields of my interest: str
