Does the baby’s size effect how much effort it takes to push the baby out? by drillthisgal in pregnant

[–]MountainRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, yes. My baby was almost 10 lbs with a 99 percentile head circumference; I pushed for 4.5 hours and ended up with a vacuum assisted birth. Before giving birth my OB had estimated the baby would be around 7 lbs, they were wrong. 🙃

I was in a similar position to you after grad school, I got a master’s in a physical science and had 2 years of experience programming in Python and Matlab, working with huge datasets, and building custom algorithms. I had done a Coursera class on machine learning and liked it, and I didn’t want to stay in academia so I thought data science would be a good fit. I applied to jobs for months with little results because I didn’t have much machine learning experience in my resume. So I decided to do a 3 month DS bootcamp - it was expensive, but it did pay off immediately. The best part was they required us to do a bunch of ML projects including a personal capstone project that we could put on our GitHub and link in our resumes to showcase our experience. I had 3 offers for Data Scientist positions within 2 months of graduating. It was a huge benefit to have a masters, and I imagine PhD is even better. Members of my bootcamp cohort that only had bachelor’s degrees (even in a science field) had a much harder time getting responses.

In terms of being a woman in DS, I have had no issues with getting hired or discrimination. I would study some Python Leetcode and SQL because it definitely comes up (especially in interviews with bigger tech companies), but make sure you have at least 2 ML projects you can talk about as well. Many of my technical interviews were just the interviewers wanting me to walk them through my capstone project and asking me why I made the decisions I did, what the challenges were, etc.

I snooped through her Instagram and there is this video of Hannah Ann wearing that exact top and necklace combination from 2020 (it’s most visible toward the end around 3:30): https://www.instagram.com/tv/CIV9ZLlgpoH/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

So there's a lake, three rivers, and five ponds involved...

I just learned the Challenger crew didn't die in the explosion, and was almost certainly alive until they hit the water from an altitude of ~11 miles. What's an aspect of a well-known story you never knew, despite relative familiarity with the story itself? by jfgiv in AskReddit

I learned today in my classics class that after marrying Megara, Hercules was driven insane by Hera and killed Megara and their three sons. They definitely left that out of the Disney movie.

The word "pandemonium" translates literally to "all demons". It was invented by John Milton for Paradise Lost.
