I have actually been in a situation where the motorized door started opening when I was doing my thing. On a train in Sweden. I had the handle in reach so I tried to push it back, but eventually I had to prioritize getting my trousers on. A

Fair enough. I said i had mixed opinions. Just that I have built so many snow caves in my childhood and many of them caved in. And it left me with - lots of snow inside my clothes, which was yucky. I have also slept in a leftover cave dug b

Yes, but it is bolted on an existing desktop application. I feel it always lags. I also tried to use their API once to e.g. upload data to a sheet but it was really messy. In google sheets all this worked just fine.

There are lots of efforts to make pandas faster. Dask, pandarallel, and this. They all stay at your computer and in your RAM though. I wonder, what is the benefit of using this compared to a truly distributed engine like spark? If your job

Yes, as I posted further down I am really intrigued by what makes it possible to lift other people up. Because the potential is there. Not in everyone but surely someone who would step up as the new lead if someone disappears. Documentation
