Thanks for the reply. It's your tool mate and of course by all means work on the features you want. It's a really neat tool, there is not doubt. I'm sure it'll be helpful to a lot of people. I'm data analyst and I o

Sounds awesome. Thanks for posting. It'd be great to be able to import this into a Jupyter notebook or script rather than doing it on the command line. Don't know how useful it is as a command line tool.

I don't think he is healthy just because of eating meat. He is healthy because of a number of factors. 1. He ate good quality food, that includes both meat and vegetables that he grew for consumption. 2. Farming is hard work so he phys

This is just anecdotal but my grandfather is nearly 90 years old. He has been eating goat meat, chicken, fish and prawns at least 4 days a week his entire life. Although he raised his own goats and fish as a farmer. And he has eaten "o

This is not too bad. I'd prefer hydrogen fuel cells over massive toxic batteries that we're going to have to dispose safely in a few years, from all those used Teslas! I don't know about other countries, but most of the elect

Off the top of my head, I can't remember what size nodes we use. I think it's m5x large AWS nodes with 16 cores and 128 GB RAM. Depending on the size of the data I use anywhere between 20 to 80 of these nodes. Sometimes even highe

yeah, like others have pointed out, you might be correct about it being a massive overkill for most users. It takes me at least 10 to 15 minutes to spin up a cluster and configure it before I can start anything.

You're definitely correct about Spark being a nightmare to configure. Luckily we've got data platform teams who take care of that. Analysts like I still do configure parameters depending on the scenario. You might be correct about

ohh yeah. Thanks for pointing that out. I do remember reading this a few months ago.

Apologies for being pessimistic. I've never had a reason to use dask. I like Pandas only for very small sample datasets. Nothing more than a few MBs. I deal with large amount of alpha-numeric data that can no way fit on a single comput

Thank you. Glad that you've enjoyed working with us. I can confirm that everyone I meet here have been wonderful human beings! I can safely say that it's a big part of the hiring process, without giving up too much details. :)

I've been working for Xero since three years. It's a great place to work. Free barista coffee, fruits and social gathering every Friday. Everyone is very helpful and nice. Waiting to move into a brand new office here in Melbourne,

I one tried using my wife's Wacom tablet on my office Mac. It kept prompting me to allow it record keystrokes from all applications. Naturally I didn't allow it. It didn't work but then the spyware was quite difficult and and

yeah, the last line is quite true. I saw somebody posted a screenshot of their lockscreen with an ad. I've never seen that on my iPhone. But then with the new IOS, I've stopped all kinds of tracking and notifications.

Are those cheap? Not being sarcastic. I honestly don't know if they're selling those at a loss. I bought my Sony Smart TV 4 years ago. I don't get any ads. It's got some apps like Youtube, Netflix, Stan etc. and that&#x2

yeah but we can't expect regular people to be able to do that.

I honestly don't know. But it's incredible that they can just agree on behalf of the customers that ads are okay. That's why I never buy Samsung phones either. They're full of bloatware. There should be a setting to disa

To be fair most of the "content" on either of these platforms can be actually labelled as "content". If anything, it probably helped those young people get some real life skills rather than wasting their life in a digita

What's wrong with that?

Mate, even cannabis is illegal where I live. It's rarely enforced but still quite ridiculous. I'm not even a consumer but I know a few people who've benefitted greatly from it.

Yes, thank you. I wasn't aware of Telegram's shady models. I'll read about it. But its UI is far better than Signal. I don't use FB and their other products, except for WhatsApp. I've disabled all tracking features

Some of my closest friends and I moved to Telegram a few months ago. It's actually quite good. I've to be on WhatsApp as it'd be a pain to teach parents how to use a new app!

This seems like a step in the right direction. It'll help a lot of people deal with mental health issues.

Thanks for that and you're right. I read that on the SEC website. But, my garden has a good amount of space and has small trees. Far from powerlines. Whereas the house is probably 50 to 60 year old wooden structure built on a sloped bl
