Yeah, there is a lot of ridiculous usage of Excel in corporate America, but the idea that econ/finance/MBA types are not aware of Python/pandas these days is a farfetched. There are tons of resources like this. https:/&

I struggle with this as well. I came across this on page 13 after opening 14 tabs on 14 different topics, so I wouldn't really trust my advice on this topic. One thing I'm going to try is to switch back and forth between project m

This was the first thing I ever felt compelled to write to the government about. I'm sure Chris Christie, then Governor of New Jersey, recalls my strongly worded letter objecting to Amazon saying you were "buying" Kindle book

The description of the incident in their quarterly financial statement seems to match this description. It doesn't downplay it quite as much as the email they sent customers. > For example, in January 2021, we became aware that cert

I also came to say it reminds me of Spyce (in a good way!). I was I think pretty close to their number one customer for a while before I changed jobs / locations. The business model and approach does look pretty different, but the type

What's the actual use case for this? I don't mean that critically, it's just not a thing I have ever needed to do personally. The GIFs on the linked page look like like the streaming code in The Matrix (i.e. incomprehensible)

I didn't really remember this part particularly well and have no opinion on whether it's true, but I was curious so I looked up that part of the book. Also, the way it is presented in the book it's pretty clear that they&#x27

I could be misremembering but I seem to recall Wes McKinney saying in some talk that rather than rewrite Pandas to be Arrow-backed it will probably eventually be replaced by newer Arrow-backed libraries some of which might have pandas-like

There does seem to be a lot of sketchy grifters floating around the space. I think that's compatible with thinking of them as collectibles. From movies and books, it seems like a lot of cons revolve around absurdly expensive collectibl

I don't get NFTs, but then I've never really gotten Bitcoin either. If I'd bought a Bitcoin every time I told someone Bitcoin was overvalued I would have made quite a lot of money. But I'm much more skeptical of NFTs tha

I'm going to start by saying that I pretty much agree with you that it's immoral to knowingly screw people over. Now with that out of the way, I think there's more of a gray area here than you might think. While there are man

Some of the advice about controlling your reactions to avoid reinforcing tantrums etc. sounds straight out of 1-2-3 Magic, an old and popular parenting book. https://smile.amazon.com/1-2-3-Magic-Discipline-Effective-Pa...

I've got two small kids and some of this resonates with me. I just ordered the book, so we'll see. I'm a little skeptical of the 'learn from ancient cultures' angle but I don't begrudge the publisher the need t

The main use case where I've wanted something like that is that you want to pair an interactive chart with a data table. For example you create a crossfilter and want the table to list the observations that pass the filter. I actually

This looks pretty interesting both for some projects at work and for my homelab. I'm a data scientist with an amateur interest in devops so apologies if this is a silly question, but I'm trying to get a sense of the use cases. Wou
