What sort of datasets do quants and finance need? For finance, I imagine it has to be both accurate and realtime for it to be of any value?

You need a context to reach out to your friend, even if you got reminded. If you get nagged, and you don't have a reason to reach out, it's unlikely that you will. It should be coupled with recent news they had, or something you r

For reference to those choosing: I started using Elm 2 years ago, also coming straight from Javascript. Elm wasn't without its frustrations. My biggest learning curve with Elm was a couple things. 1) Reading the type signature. I didn&

It'd help beginners if there was a sentence explaining what fmap is.

Is that how they did it? Or is it just training some RNNs to repeat the same style back?

I'm guessing you'd want the validation tool to be controlled by the company you work for, because of the sensitivity of the data being processed? What type of data/industry is it? It'd help us to know where to look for p

What data was being sent back and forth? Why did you need to process the attachments?

Sounds like it was painful. I actually laughed out loud at 8MB of white space. Mind if I learn more about your experiences? I don't know how to reach you, but please msg me at iamwil@gmail.com.

What is your concern about a 3rd party web service here?
948.
by iamwil 10y ago
Yes. Part of the reason seemingly simple CSV are a pain is because it's often malform, badly formatted, with odd encodings in the file. We take care of that for you, so you can fix it or throw it out.

Sidehelm operates the same way many ETL or logging services do. Everything that it does is completely automated and any data retained is for the end user to inspect, not us. Any domain specific data error that happens, we would notify you f

Oh, I meant between Gitlab and Github. I imagine it's for similar reasons?

Genuinely curious why you think it's true. Can you elaborate?

Oh, so like information from data.gov or other public data to verify people. That makes sense. I'm guessing small businesses want to do integration with the web, but they didn't really have the engineers to do an API integration?

What sort of people provide the CSVs? I myself have had to integrate with 3rd party logistics companies, and the way we got them to send out our inventory was to send them a CSV of our orders twice a day.
