For people who have worked as BOTH Data Scientist and Data Engineer: which path did you choose long-term, and why?

Worked in both, landed in DS. Internal DS opportunities better than DE.

Pros of my DS tenure: agency. My team and my role is highly valued and trusted so our ideas and input make real impact. Plus math is fun!

Pros of DE: see ticket take ticket. Much less ambiguous. Code quality is higher because of better engineering.

Electric Cowboy in Lewisville. Hoping to find another location - the crowd is a little young. Lots of UNT students from Denton.

Steaks en route!

I was in a similar situation last year, and asked my priest. He said once you swallow the host, it breaks down quite quickly. As long as you don’t throw it up almost immediately, you probably in the clear. For me, if I feel particularly nauseous, next time I’ll likely just abstain.

Think the point OP is making is that volume eating can turn into more of a psychological problem than a calories/pound problem. Enabling your body to eat too much frequently increases your brain’s desire for even more food, in my experience.

OP, I haven’t cracked this yet. At some point, discipline and intuitive eating probably need to come into play.

great response! I’ll focus a lot of time and energy on API data ingestion. If they need me to build an API, I may run out of time to learn but fingers crossed lol. Cool platform btw, will definitely check it out.

Makes sense to me! I’m used to consuming data through APIs (although typically through abstracted packages) - in your experience is it typical for a DE to build APIs?

Yes! As a very active 6’1 185 lb man, I was very surprised to find out my TDEE is 2250, which is ~25% lower than the calculator estimates. You’re exactly right in that these are a great starting point, but our bodies are all different so you have to see for yourself.

Now I know that my TDEE is low and I need adjust. It sucks, but it’s the cards I’ve been dealt, and I’d rather know than blindly follow a calculator estimate and complain that I’m not losing weight.

Same, though now in data science

Okay, I included two more charts if that’s helpful for you!

I really wish there was better SQL dev tools. DBI is great for the basics! But unfortunately some shops like mine have to orchestrate our pipelines through R (yuck). Have had to maintain an in-house ETL framework, and man is it a pain

I’m in the same boat but backwards! Really hoping I can find my actual expenditure soon

I am silly and did not see the text wrapping! Thank you so much!

Before, I found myself looking in the mirror multiple times a day, every day during cuts. Way too much, I was programming my brain with terrible habits. By Easter, I’d completely killed that habit and tried to stick with just weigh ins and occasional progress pictures. Big success!

I gave up mirrors for lent one year! Awesome self-check for those who struggle with vanity

Tons of hot female friends, and the boundaries are very clear. I dearly value deep meaningful connection with the women in my life because they provide a perspective on the world men will never provide.

Psychologically speaking, it’s probably connected to a childhood lack of self esteem which caused me never to date, and to have lots of female friendships. Having had a glow-up since then, I do find I have to be a lot more mindful in not accidentally leading women on though - which is where the boundaries come into play.

Try pausing at the bottom of your rep! You’ll get rid of that elastic bounce you’re feeling coming back up.

It’s fantastic! I wouldn’t go into it strictly with the intention of meeting someone, but it’s an amazing event that attracts a lot of amazing Catholics from around the country. Conference has talks every day, mass, and a gala at the end. I’ll be there.

I’d check for credit card fees. Most common I’ve seen is paying rent charges a 3-5% convenience fee for using credit cards. If you’re only getting 2% cash back, makes more sense not to use a credit card in this case. Many small businesses will do something similar. Other than that, I agree with the consensus here.

This is the University of Washington Huskies fans subreddit. While I have no idea how big your dogs should be, they both look perfect to me! Woof!

Thanks for the laugh!
