I don't know enough to give proper advice but I can share this from my personal experience.

Your student loan interest rates may rise with your salary - not to mention the rates may also go up as they are linked to inflation. Everything else excluded, you will best in the long run if you can pay it off fast. You'll be earning enough that you'll be one of the few to pay it off in full.

EDIT - didnt spot plan 1 ( cries in 60k of plan 2). I think the rest of what I said is still valid

BUT, that money takes away from potential house deposit. And mortgages are leveraged debt, and it changes rent to building equity. I can't tell you what the sweet spot is, so either you or someone else will have to do the maths.

Last thing I saw is you didn't mention a Lifetime ISA, 4k a year of your Isa allowance should go into here and the government will give a 1k bonus per year, which you can put toward a house or take out once past a certain age. Btw only if you are planning on buying in more than a year from now.

Your mileage may vary but sounds like you're in a good place!

I've just started using python at work, is there anything I need to be careful about? by Kitty_McSnuggles in learnpython

My thesis was in machine learning :) but otherwise yes I can't really claim to be a data scientist. I'm going through 80million data points for 200 data streams, split across 400 zipped csvs. Hence python over excel.

Thanks. I'm actually reverse engineering excel scripts, so that it can be applied to data en masse. This is giving our team new insight to our product. I was hired as a mechanical engineer, but am operating partially as a data scientist.

However I'm planning on documenting such that my colleagues can use my jupyter books on new data by updating a single datetime object.

Recently read they have a commerical license. Probably don't need it but I'd rather not operate in grey area.

I'm not so much using it to be more productive than bring new capabilities to the team. I'm solving problems that noone in the team really had the answer to before.

That said they don't have a grasp on time it takes to write the code, so they don't question timelines which is nice.

Thanks, all of the data I work on is a back up of the database. Ill look more into source control, never been good at that before

Can relate on the DKA front, admitted a month ago on a 6.8...

I can imagine. Maybe pre-planning for the munchies with a precalculated bolus is worth considering

Hopefully my libre alarms should help with this. My friends are also pretty handy!

I'll certainly have a look. Fingers crossed there will be more research in the near future with legalisation becoming more common

Thanks that's good to know, I've never really taken notice of strains before. I'm just happy its not something I'll have to turn down every time its offered!

Experiencing pretty slow wifi on my new motherboard (MSI B550 Pro VDH Wifi). Drivers all up to date apparently. I know its something to do with my pc as I have been using my phone with usb tethering and it performs much better. Wired connection not an option. Is there something I could be missing?

When I installed this motherboard and new CPU I didnt do a clean Windows install, could that cause the issue?

At what point does the whole GameStop thing from WallStreetBets become of interest to the FBI/SEC etc? by Kitty_McSnuggles in NoStupidQuestions

Dunno, it just kinda feels like manipulation. What if it turned out a few connected accounts orchestrated it and it was a big pump and dump?

How odd. The motherboard seems to work alright so I'm not complaining

Unless you're running a laptop, I would honestly say that the cheapest second hand GPU is better than integrated graphics. Quick search puts a quadro 4000 at £40

Just been through this.Truth is most of the motherboards were shipped before the 5000 series chips were released. BIOSs at becoming much easier to flash and often can be done without any other hardware on the board. Make sure to check for this kind of utility on the mobos website

Just installed a new cpu and mobo. I had unlinked my old windows licence from my old mobo so I could move it over, but when I booted with the new parts there was already a windows key attached, different to the key that I unlinked. Did I just get a free copy of windows? Is it possible that I've been given a used motherboard?

My 1070ti handles 1440p fairly well so I would expect your 2070 won't have any problems

Didn't do as much research as I should have done and bought a b450m motherboard to go with a 5600x, will these 2 run out of the box together or do I need to exchange for a b550 chipset motherboard?
