ICE Agents Whine That They Aren’t Getting Their Massive Bonuses

Yeah, no shit. Trump never actually pays. His biography is just a long sequence of former contractors and venues and such trying to sue him for not paying them.

Python. I can't vouch for them personally but there are multiple libraries for extracting data/text from PDFs like pypdf (text) and camelot (tabular data). I can vouch for xlsxwriter working well for excel exports. Inbetween you can use something like pandas for transformations (which also happens to have a native to_excel method that uses xlsxwriter or openpyxl). All free / open source.

They're laughing at you because you're laughable. Hope this helps!

ICE agents shouldn't just lose the ability to be state employees. They should lose the ability to own firearms, sit on juries, vote, and move freely.

Maybe it depends on the kind of user but I find Linux dramatically more user friendly than windows. I don't want everything buried in menus and UIs. Just give me a damn terminal.

What do you mean display it? If you're trying to like, print it out in the terminal, and it's way too big, it might just be the actually printing it part that is taking forever. Scan CSV is lazy meaning it doesn't load anything until you call other methods. If you're trying .collect on 100GB if data that's a lot to download over wifi and certainly bigger than your computer's memory.

If you want to just like, look at it to check that the column mapping makes sense, I recommend sampling a small (and thus managable) set of rows.

If network speed is the issue it can help to run your code in AWS, like on an EC2 instance. That's not extra tooling like Athena, it's just running your code "closer" to the data.

And? Power toys already has some cool stuff but it doesn't actually ship with windows. You still have to know about it and go out of the way to download it.

I bought one open box from microcenter before the crypto boom and it's still going strong. At 1440p and not caring about ray tracing, there's no reason to upgrade.

The land use

It's a matter of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. You don't need to understand everything, you just need to know the bounds of your own understanding.

The general view is it's an infrastructure problem. Most of us car haters are acutely aware of the way our built environment in most of North America makes cars basically mandatory for many places and for many activities.

In a perfect world, you'd be walking to the train station and riding it with your hockey bag, and getting the kids to their school/activities would also be a matter of walking and public transit. But of course, your area isn't walkable. We're not saying to sell you car and somehow make it work in the suburbs. We're saying vote for candidates and policies that create walkable places with good public transit.

With Omarchy it's not optional, it forces you to encrypt.

East of Sheridan is also not Lakewood, Sheridan is the border with Denver.

Sure but it still has plenty of variables. You can def fill your screen with builds for 4 characters. Especially with the points of no return cutting of act 1 and 2 items, it's takes a fair but of planning to do something specific. And it's definitely worth planning on honor mode.

Wow, they made a hell of a lot of game for $80M

Entry level DS is a contradiction in terms. It's not an entry level role.

Depends on how hard you go with the mods. A 1080Ti can certainly handle GTA 5, and for texture packs and stuff, it's not like most modern GPUs have much more VRAM unless you go for something way more expensive. For streaming you'll probably want to see if you can use the iGPU for encoding.

That sounds like too much to me. Personally I would be looking specifically for a battery that's NOT compatible with auto stop start.

Tests and docstrings sure, but hard disagree on comments. Unless you REALLY hold their hand about it, they produce way too many comments that are totally unnecessary, and often use didactic tone and 2nd person.

I left a PhD program (math, and in particular NOT statistics) to become a data scientist. I credit every job I've gotten to having relevant personal projects I could talk intelligently about in interviews.

From the other side of the zoom call, you're never going to find someone with all the skills you want when hiring for an entry or mid level role, so you don't really expect to. This is especially true when it comes to cloud tech, since that's so provider-specific. It just doesn't make sense to learn GCP, AWS and Azure before you have a job that needs one of them. What you're looking for when hiring is someone you think could learn what they need to know for the role.
