   Tangent: where do I find folks like you? Is there a website where competent people donate their time to help on meaningful projects?

   I agree that cloud compute is usually (too) expensive, but it is sometimes useful and cost-effective. Not long ago, I need to very quickly run a one-off analysis, which required over 200 GB of RAM. It was much cheaper and faster to spin up

   Oh, that's disappointing that these seem to be org-level issues. If I were ever to apply to Meta, it would be to RL only, and they do have a few interesting openings. Thanks for replying, though!

   Thanks for sharing your perspective. In your experience, is this how most Reality Labs' teams operate?

   Would you mind sharing how long the queue for your Beta is? I signed up a few weeks ago, but haven't heard back from Flux yet.

    Hi, Ilan! Do you expect proficiency in Julia from research and data science applicants? Your GH repos are almost exclusively Julia.

    > gluconeogenesis I am very curious about gluconeogenesis. I am well aware of this pathway but have read a few times that glucose generation from protein happens very rarely. Have you ever tried eating zero carb whey protein in a fasted

    Thanks! How would I go about DM'ing you? Also, do you require apps to be created using your tools or do you support apps developed independently?

    Thanks! Are you sure the test track doesn't require a review? Based on this comment [1], my impression was that it does, but I can be wrong, of course. 1. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64296562/google-pl

    Thanks for the suggestion! I have looked into it and it seems that even internal testing apps have to pass Play's content review [1]. I will check out Code Push / App Center. 1. https://stackoverflow.com/questions&

    I use a stationary bike in combination with the Peloton mobile app, Strava, and a heart rate monitor. It was a little hard and boring at the beginning until I got into structured workouts and playing with numbers. Now, I quite enjoy modelin

    Isn't it bizarre that we have self-driving cars, the ISS, and phones with 50 megapixel cameras but still struggle with character encoding?

    I recently switched from Sunsama to Amazing Marvin, which is less opinionated, has more features, and is cheaper, but doesn't support teams as far as I can tell.

    I was testing Copilot this night. It suggested a simple snippet, which made me a bit suspicious, so I looked it up on GitHub. The snippet (after "data_folder ="): data_folder = "C:/Users/robsc/Documents&#x

    Thanks for your suggestions! I think I will try COBOL and either Lisp or ML as long as I can get them to play nicely with Python. For a while, I have been wanting to learn more esoteric languages than what is mainstream right now, but, alas

    Do you know how much a monthly gym membership near you costs? If money is an issue, I could chip in via paypal or venmo. (Just a grad student with kids here, so don't expect too much, please.)

    Hey, a big fan of PyCharm here! I played with PyCharm's implementation of notebooks in 2019. At that time, it felt like you didn't do any UX research and testing with professional data scientists, including data scientists across

    I agree. I have been unsuccessfully looking for a SWE/programming mentor for years. I am now back in school, working on a PhD at a CS department and I am still facing the same problem. Curiously, I have had no difficulty finding mentor
