How do you review a whole book for interview purpose? Is it because you had already gone through the book in the past?

* Must have support for data engineering, ML Ops, UI/UX development, and sysadmin duties as necessary. You want me to spend my time on models. I should put this on my resume.

Hear me out too - I just take advantage of tools which can help me in reducing bugs especially if I am already comfortable in some language. Type hints do help lot of people.

The only point that I agree from OP is about stronger work/life separation which I need to work on. My work days drag a bit more while working from home. In the beginning, I was even working during night which I never did when I was wo

I suppose you don't hear often about all the market/advertising companies buying each other. Even though I work in this field, I am almost always clueless about who are these companies.

Lucky for them that local Mexican authorities were at least good at managing a database of deaths.

This might not seem like a big issue but in the beginning, these were my issues 1. Not so easy way to rename columns during aggregation 2. The group by generates its own grouped by data and hence you almost always need `reset_index` 3. Some

I was actually using data.table The syntax can be bit cryptic, but you get used to it.

I also switched from R to Python/pandas. I remember always being frustrated with pandas since it tries to emulate data.frame, but then just does its own thing without being consistent.

Ah yes! Unreturned book and racism are in same league of shit-talking. Just another art of down-playing the severity of actions/words by comparing it with something mundane.

Because people take generation credit all the time. We "french/english/<insert any nationality>" did this and that. So if we are not trying to being hypocritical, it makes sense you share the associated guilt also.

People pretend that this is something new. This has been going on for a while and it wasn't in the news because those who are complaining right now weren't directly at the receiving end. The same people who went around championing

> But I would say, on average, that the difference is that it's cheaper to have a good life in Europe. If you earn 50k in Sweden, it would roughly give me the same QoL as a person living on 150k in NYC (or 80k in London!), and if I

You get free healthcare in most part of the world if you work in IT. And usually it's not taken out of your salary. In EU you have to pay it out of your salaries.

Can you use the methods in this library to do constrained optimization? Whenever I look for such gradient free optimizer it's always comes with some constraint.

This works very similar in different parts of the world. You will hear lot of times CTC (Cost to company) being used when discussing salaries.

For all the recent complain about how twitter was "censoring" free speech, this is what real censoring looks like.

Are REMOTE positions only for North Americans or also for those in Europe?

I don't know how much it costs in India, but I have paid around 75 Euros in France, and I think it's around 50 Euros in Germany. All of these prices which I cited for France/Germany are for those who don't have any healt

If we are being pedantic, Germany didn't exist until 1871.

Also the idea of people get fired in IT jobs in USA at the drop of the hat is also bit of an exaggeration. Just look at how Airbnb and Uber are handling it.
