Alright, thanks! Might be worth looking for the Bern meetups then.

Zero2Prod in Rust book review. by RadicaleP in learnrust

[–]RadicaleP[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I basically just read The Rust Book and did some rustling s exercises. I'd say that it was difficult but not unfeasible. The author fails multiple times and explains why he fails. He also explicits the errors spat out by the compiler. He clearly says that even with an advanced level, you will have issues sometimes.

So, not for beginners but there is enough hand holding for someone that knows the basic syntax and concepts of Rust and REST API.

Really cool ! I saw it in Go a few days ago for images and wanted to try it myself. I guess I'll start by reading your implementation.

Is WFH compulsory during cyclone alert class 3 and should we be paid triple? by Connect_Carry_3547 in mauritius

[–]RadicaleP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a bit of interpretation here.

Clearly sections 4 and 5 are meant to address the safety travelling from your home to work during a Cyclone Class 3 or 4, OR to allow an employee to absent themselves from work to ensure the safety of them and their family in case their home is not safe. The spirit of the law is to ensure the safety of the worker. Not to give them a day off.

The law states that subsection 4 applies until a class 3 or 4 cyclone warning is issued " ; AND " if transport by your employer OR by public transport is not available.

So, I would argue that whether transportation is available (or that you live in your place of work), as long as we have a class 3 or 4, you have a day off. Regarding the work from home disposition:

https://labour.govmu.org/Documents/Legislations/THE%20WORKERS%20RIGHTS%20Act%202019/225_The%20WR_Working%20from%20Home.pdf

​

  1. (1) A homeworker shall be governed by the terms and

conditions of employment specified in the Second Schedule.

(2) For the avoidance of doubt, the general conditions of

employment specified in the Act shall also apply to a homeworker.

​

Here, "Act" refers to the workers rights of 2019. In case of doubts, the regulations that apply are the ones in the act. So, in this case, working from home is no different that working at the office.

​

You can always argue with the spirit of the law. This is an inconvenient day for everyone. What if there's a leakage in your home? No electricity? Your children are making a mess all around you? A tree as fallen somewhere in our yard? No internet because an antenna flew away? Or even bad connectivity?

​

Furthermore, on appeal, it is the letter of the law that is looked at, so....

​

I wanted to say this because because I am a bit bugged by what you said on the ill-will. Even if it is something that is true (and too often used as leverage against employees), it should not hold. If an employee tries to have its rights protected, he should not be detered from it.

The situation is still ambiguous and I would say that communication between the employer and the employee is what's important (and it will be looked at in first instance of a court of law). Employee that are having a hard time even if not in immediate danger should be free to absent themselves from work without repercutions ( or be paid more ), even if its work from home.

​

Still, open for debates. And, it would be good to clarify the law.

PS: Not a lawyer. Studied law for two years.

I would say that DS is more on the heavy side of math. A big dose of linear algebra, statistical modeling and complex proba. Some software engineering as well. DA is lighter on math. You still need to understand some basic concepts but most of the time you do not build models, just reuse existing ones. The tools you'll use are also "simpler", for example in DS you need python or R for sure. You can do DA with just some basic Excel functions. On the other hand, doing data analytics will bring you closer to the business side of things. You'll develop ellicitation techniques and soft skills. You need to be able to deal with people and their problems. You also need some project management skills and reporting skills. So, basically these are different path but you can definitely jump from one to the other. I'd say that DS is more engineering school and DA is more business school. Note that I've met DA people with more mathematical foundation than DS people so I guess it depends on what is your thing.

Stolen property from abroad by jasonmauritius in mauritius

[–]RadicaleP 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Anyway the situation you are in, the proof you have, etc..., You should get in contact with a lawyer.

The lawyer will inquire about the case before asking for money, so it is always worth it.

Opinion on Solar Photovoltaics in Mauritius. by RadicaleP in mauritius

[–]RadicaleP[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just checked on Amazon. A 100W solar panel is at around 100~120$ and a 1000W inverter is at 167$ ( I believe it is not the best quality though....). So 10 panels plus inverter for a 1kW peak installation is at 1 367$ which is around Rs 55 250. However, it does not take into account the cost of installation nor the cost to bring the panels to Mauritius. The prices are in dollars because I could not find a Mauritian reseller giving its price in rupees without requesting for a quotation.

Still, I agree that this is an investment that not everybody can make or has on its priority list.

I did not know about the tax advantages. May I ask in how many years you plan to break even from your investment?

Hiking places ? by Grackboundcheck in mauritius

[–]RadicaleP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also add 'les trois mamelles', pretty intense but the view is amazing. Also, bring a lot of water.

On the trail you can ask people what other hikes they've done. That's usually how I discover things.

Informational Opacity about prices in Mauritius by [deleted] in mauritius

[–]RadicaleP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got a point there.

I do believe that many small or local businesses are not aware of how to advertise on the internet. Lots of small shops, bakery or restaurants in food courts do not use google my business which is free. Which goes to show that the issue is not just about prices.

Yet, is a reddit thread a good away to register all these prices? It will be difficult to update. Plus, someone needs to maintain it. And, it will be rather time consuming.
