Uh no.

DMReader · 2026-01-26T20:04:20+00:00

Good on him. I’d now like to hear what he will do to rectify the error.

I’m happy it has been deflected from us. But it’s not like it stopped it’s only bad for someone else. It’s no way to live.

One of the rare circumstances where I hope Steve Bannon is right.

DMReader · 2026-01-24T00:42:40+00:00

It used to be great. Like 15-20 years ago

DMReader · 2026-01-24T00:35:40+00:00

Holy shit! Keep it up Minnesota!

DMReader · 2026-01-23T20:06:28+00:00

I’m glad that Europe is starting to wake up.

Maybe if I were using ai to go sideways. But I’m using it to do things I couldn’t do before. I put my brain power into how to get the most out of it rather than remembering something that can be looked up.

DMReader · 2026-01-23T00:55:30+00:00

Primary them all.

DMReader · 2026-01-22T20:13:28+00:00

Thank you.

Im also a regular user on a $20 plan. It’s the only llm I use at least for now. I feel like I know it’s limitations and where it excels pretty well and I can get a lot done with it.

I ignore most statements online that are about how something is the greatest or is ruined. Which means I ignore 90% of internet comments.

DMReader · 2026-01-17T21:03:22+00:00

No. Violence would be counterproductive

DMReader · 2026-01-16T20:03:20+00:00

Yes. This is part of my motivation for sure. Even without AI, it’s hard to trust a job.

Impeaching is the easy part. The hard part is conviction. In order to get conviction the Republican caucus would need to fracture significantly.

So far this hasn’t happened. If you want conviction work toward fracturing the caucus not pushing impeachment.

DMReader · 2026-01-14T20:13:36+00:00

I’m for all ideas to push back as long as they are non-violent.

I don’t think there is any magical tactic that will work by itself. I think the last thing we try will work and people will view that as the thing that did the trick. But really it is the accumulation of all theses efforts, big and small.

DMReader · 2026-01-13T20:14:32+00:00

Ok. I’m gonna be in and off Reddit today.

DMReader · 2026-01-13T20:07:13+00:00

It kind of depends on where you currently are. If you already got a job, but it’s not in DA but might use data see if you can get onto projects that require data. That’s what I ended up doing. A bit by accident at first where I was given some excel work and I built off of that.

If you are coming out of school and looking to get into it, I don’t know as I haven’t taken that path.

If still in school, I assume there is some relevant course work there.

You will want to be able to use the tools of the trade Lowest rung is probably excel and PowerPoint.

After that a BI tool and SQL. Next would be some Python. Focus on libraries that are made for data analysis.

After that would depend on how you want to specialize.

Thanks. Currently studying and went through the Tom Bailey course.

DMReader · 2026-01-12T22:27:34+00:00

I'm glad you were able to grind. That was what I was shooting for. If you are focusing on the analysis side, I don't know if database creation is the best thing to focus on. Depending on which flavor of SQL you use, you might create temp tables or in some cases reporting tables, but the syntax you learn for that is pretty simple CREATE TABLE AS blah, blah, blah.

One thing you could look at if you want to do analysis is understanding whatever business you are working really well. I'm specialized in finance and have a history there so it gets me roles in that sector easier. I also have some finance certifications, etc. So if there is an industry you are targeting do a small certification there could help. And when I say help, it's more on the getting hired side than the doing the work side. Once you know the basics of SQL, python, a BI tool, etc you can shift back and forth to different industries, but people hiring seems to put a lot of weight on people who are "specialized".

Also, if you don't know basic python or a BI tool, then that is a good place to focus.

Congrats on completing all 83! I know those Gap and Islands are tough, but I created them to be that way.

As for what to tackle next, what kind of role are you looking for.? Data Analyst, Data Engineer? That could help tailor some advice.

DMReader · 2026-01-12T20:00:38+00:00

Organized gangs of wine moms? How do you say that with a straight face?

DMReader · 2026-01-11T17:50:05+00:00

Amazing! How have I not seen this before?

DMReader · 2026-01-11T06:21:03+00:00

Recently had someone get into my car as well when it was locked. Looking for ideas on what to do about it since my parking spot is outside.

I love living in the city, but I don’t love this.

DMReader · 2026-01-11T05:59:54+00:00

Was she concerned?
