My partner is the same. I have a document that says "here is the name of our accountant. I recommend you do X for now".

Thanks for that. A related note is for any requirements files. Something like this bit me the other day. Libraryname >=3.1 After a few years,the package was updated substantially and has lots of breaking changes in the recent branch. Fix

Similar to my strategy. Write the code as if I had all these magic functions that did steps: def write_report(): db = connect_to_database() data = get_data(db) summary = summarise_data(data) save_report

Which I've had failed as a student in Australia, as we use .edu.au (not for Dropbox, but other services). As you said though, its a simple test, and if you don't think about it too much, its too easy to just test the email ends in

Ultimately, if you are using the smartphone for a deliberate purpose, that's probably fine. Looking up a recipe, contacting a loved one, reading an ebook. The problem is when you are just "on the phone", not really doing anyt

Yes, but many non-technical business owners want to focus on other aspects of their company and just get someone to do that work.

Legacy work includes websites that were written a few years ago, but still work and don't need to be completely redone . Add some features, but a rebuild is unnecessary.

Yes! Just don't cold-email businesses with your offerings - lots and lots of low value options do! Instead, find local meetup groups of businesses and start making connections. Be the local business doing this.

No, but it does apply to the distribution of slippery slopes. The OP specifically said tools "like this"

Sure, but then that reduces the effectiveness of such techniques by 1/4 or 1/10, while still carrying the risk a secret shopper finds it.

I've found it helpful to deliberately identify if you are being the manager or the technician (to use E-myth's terminology). The manager goes through the lists of tasks and emails, and works out what needs to be done (next, or tod

So you have an example? I've never seen this and would like to see what people are doing here. I teach a lot of newbies data mining, so I'm very interested in how people get it wrong

Yeah I thought I was reading the title wrong! For anyone that isn't aware, the role of pca is to create new (synthetic) features that represent the original features. It does not tell you which features of the original set are good for

For the people selling, it is often more profitable (or at least less hassle) to sell quickly with minimal fuss and move onto the next one.

You are generally right. The data is a big difference. Managing it, it's too big for git etc is a massive problem. ML also has a distinction between the system for training a model and the system that uses it, but that's just two

I think like lots of things... If you expect to do better than other people, be prepared to know more or do more then them. Many people dedicate their lives to learning the stock market and what to do. It's unlikely someone can beat th

I have a small game that I made to experiment with some tech. https://donotplaythisgame.click/ In short, you accrue points while you aren't playing it, but you have to log into actually get the points (similar to &quot

I like that a few video games are multi-words (e.g. Oxygen Not Included) and use a common abbreviation, (ONI) that is google-able - for instance "oni tutorial" is pretty good, or "oxygen not included tutorial" is a sure

Those might be the same people who say "why do you do research in field X, rather than on cancer research?". Why do you have a job as an admin rather than go back to school and become a cancer scientist? It's easier to critic

This controversy will be over in a few months at worse. Spotify nullifies the damage by removing the music now, and the investment in the music would be a long term investment.

I'm not a big fan of them either. For teaching beginners, its often "look at the help for this function, but ignore these bits for now", which is quite jarring. They are useful, but I think sometimes the advanced features r

Absolutely. I often joke that my work as a data scientist is mostly creating bar graphs for people. The actual analysis is often reasonably simple, its the aggregating of the data that is hard (its messy, its not all in the one spot and the

In most cases, the productivity tool is about the habit, not the specific tool. If a text-file todo list doesn't work for you, try something else. However at the end of the day its the habit, not the tool that is the most important thi

A significant improvement on letter-by-letter, but not that much harder, is to use n-grams: "two letters to predict the third" etc. Still not "industry grade", but the results start making more sense.

I closed my LinkedIn account due to recruiter spam. My account said I wasn't looking for work but I still got lots of messages that were just keyword hunting. A good recruiter is gold but it's a profession that has a large number
