Yes, I think you're right. Having all of them doesn't feel redundant when we're talking about a whole family and the cost isn't that high.

By optional I meant that you can use the service with or without paying. (Example: donating to Patreon or subbing on Twitch is optional; paying for Netflix isn't optional since you have to pay in order to watch anything on Netflix). Ob

Many of these are either optional or compete with one or more of the other services. Podcasts are either completely free or they should go under Spotify/Patreon. Twitch/Youtube subscriptions and Patreon are entirely optional. And

I think it makes more sense to pick the language first and then find an IDE for it that you like instead of the other way around.

Is there a good argument against Clojure in this case? My impression is that it's a good lisp and you can get actual work done in it which is an advantage over some of the other options.

Or some version of "What are the biggest pain points in your job?" or "Which SAAS would you pay the most money for? Please only give answers that I can build by myself with the stack that I already know in an afternoon"

Advent of Code 2020 is happening right now - https://adventofcode.com/ . I really recommend it if you want to get exposure to different problems in a more fun and relaxed environment with a good community around it.

Can I suggest the exact opposite? The best solutions are likely to come exactly from technology because technology solutions are systematic. The impact of government policy and individual action just doesn't scale in the same way. Aski

You can go even deeper with this idea. How much of your time coding is actually coding? Surely, you're not typing all the time. If you take 10 minutes to think over a concept and explore some options before writing a block of code, how

The analogy doesn't scale because additional years of fast-food work don't add anything to your prospects. On the other hand, additional years of software development add a lot to your employability so the value of getting your fi

You're contradicting yourself. Should we use TIOBE as a guide or should we pick Rust? (The correct answer is neither of those two.) Rust is just about the worst language that you can recommend in this case - it's more difficult th

The terms big data and machine learning describe very different things though. You can't use them interchangeably. I would also argue that big data is the more sensational one of the two. Machine learning can be easily defined as a gro

I don't see a problem with machine learning as a term. Especially since it incorporates more than regression methods - it's useful to have a general term without having to specify the type of algorithm each time.

On a side note: Does "data wrangling" and (especially) "data munging" sound cringey to anyone else? It's hard to put my finger on why exactly but the terms are really offputting.

We can and we do automate it. Given enough sample data and context of the data source and how the cleaned dataset will be used, you can write a script that can automate the data cleaning for a future sample which has the same context. You m

Again, it depends on how you define the market. They have fewer devices, fewer apps, fewer app downloads, and more revenue. You just picked the one that they have the biggest share in. And even 60% of revenue isn't enough to determine

As a data scientist without a PhD, I have a very similar feeling. You can kind of make without one for now but I have no idea how long that's going to last. Hopefully by the time it happens my experience outweighs that lack of credenti
