This is actually a good callout. While pipeline speedups of transforms is hugely important, lots of other fundamental python tools for viz, model examination, etc are not built on a different foundation and not optimized by pandas improve

I'll note that most of the comments refer to a different era of The Onion, known as the "Funny" era. The more recent years have been referred to as the "Meh" era, reflecting the repetitive humor, recycling of jokes,

Yes and note that from a marketing pov, Citi looks like a "good player" by incentivising payback. But if everyone paid back in the grace period, the care would fail as transaction fees can't offset the costs of managing the

I find it interesting that the top results are recent topics. In most cases, they appear to be folks getting context for news or other timely events, or something else they saw or heard about in the media. Yes long tail yadda yadda, but it

Html is fine, but txt is really useful. Txt would also allow easy porting and reuse. But no harm in having multiple options.

The Teams doc from Feb 2023 is a bit out of date, or is just legal cya. Still limitations, but I joined a Teams meeting the day before this comment with my microphone and external cam, and participated fully, using Firefox on MacOS. Yes, so
