I think the more exciting announcement was Databricks community edition, which allows you to use 2.0: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11126179

Me too. Matei said that Spark 2.0 should be released (stable) late-April or early May. But you can always download and build the source!

That sounds really interesting to me. What size is your company? Would it make sense to work at a large company and get immersed? Do some mobile development? Design Mario maker levels? I've done basic game development before (built cen

Thanks for the feedback. It feels like making that move would uproot my life. It's scary. I wish I had a collaborator or someone I should bounce ideas off of. My background is in advanced mathematics and I've gravitated towards da

If anything, it is growing. Large companies are now adopting Python.

We used HDF5 and NETCDF at NASA and it was a constant struggle. I remember when someone dropped the specification on my desk and said, "should be a good read. Enjoy!" Glad you found a more suitable alternative.

Re: screen readers, this obsession with image and video on the web is infuriating. All I want to do is consume text, especially for news. Why is this so much to ask for?

by mydpy 11y ago
Uh, what? Why would you address this almost a decade after launching? Why would you call out people who post images to get around the limitation? Seems like grasping for straws to me...

These are good points. I can't speak for pixelmonkey, but I bet he would appreciate if you sent him a pull request with your feedback. I don't know how noisy the conversation about Python style guidelines is right now, but could b

Bah. Paywall. And yeah, I still play video games. And I'm a scientist. Actually, video games probably helped develop my scientific mind. I wish video games wouldn't be equivalent to drivel in the eyes of casual observers. There is

As US citizens, how can we help our international friends trying to get H1-B support? It is really hard to watch friends get denied, and I really wish policy makers would admit more very talented people from highly competitive countries. On

When I first learned Python and Scala, they 'hooked' me practically instantly. As my ability with these languages matured, I learned their strengths and weaknesses, and (try) use the tools where their strengths are complimented. T

Lots of good discussion here. I'd like to add, make sure you have access to video conferencing services (i.e. WebEx, join.me) and teleconferencing (WebEx again, Skype, etc.) for whenever you need help learning code, product, etc.

Also, it's frustrating in any leisure activity where I'm actively 'consuming' media, I find myself 'project managing' that consumption - what I mean is, for video games, I can only play 3 games at any given tim
