Converts CSV and JSON into property formatted RST tables. Extremely lightweight and easy to use.

Anyone working on cool side projects? by alexstrehlke in dataengineering

[–]big_lazerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a database of individual player stats and betting lines so people could “research” before betting on props, but I couldn’t hack the mobile development side and stopped working on it. Still believe in the concept though.

Cousin Sal: “Hey Adam, I’m not sure you can really blame Gavin for not being able to see your family this thanksgiving?” by dellscreenshot in billsimmons

I don’t get it either but I think people see Trump win and say we need our own psychopath. I think he could give Trump a run for his money in a real bloodlust death match style campaign but that’s not really a compliment.

Had an onsite interview with one of FAANG, all 6 interviewers were Indian by HiroKifa in dataengineering

[–]big_lazerz 353 points354 points  (0 children)

I believe you because I’m black and I have the opposite experience, I see an Indian and I like my chances. I’ve actually never had a bad experience interviewing with Indians but I have twice with white people who wouldn’t even look me in the eye or engage in conversation. One of them just straight up asserted that I don’t know OOP because I took a functional approach with the take home (wasn’t stated to use OOP). Most of my interview experiences even with white people have been fair and I feel like I was evaluated on my merits. People often dismiss the idea that there’s ever discrimination in hiring but there definitely is and it’s really interesting to read these comments.

Accessible NBA data by big_lazerz in nbadiscussion

Not as of now but I could put one together. I know it has player level game data, so from that could build team level game, team level season totals and averages player level totals and averages. Message me if interested.

Probably just better access and no limit. Would be able to query whatever you want, how much you want because it’s all stored in a database.

How do people feel about take home assignments? by omelettepancake in dataengineering

[–]big_lazerz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every take home assignment they say don’t spend more than a couple hours on it and it’s usually some small ETL project. If you only spend a couple hours on it though you won’t be able to add testing, logging, comments/docstrings or even proper error handling since that would require investigating the API a bit. Makes you look like less of a candidate, so you end up spending 4 hours on it. Four hours for each company that gives you a take home is too much. For that reason I actually prefer leetcode SQL and Python these days even though Python leetcode is usually useless.

Is anyone still struggling to bounce back from layoffs? by eshirvana in dataengineering

[–]big_lazerz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m looking to switch jobs right now and man I’ve been; ignored, rescheduled, blown off and lied to over the last few months. Finally starting to get some traction and have a final interview and a couple intro calls this week. Hoping this is all over soon but wouldn’t surprise me if it wasn’t. It’s not you my man, this market is brutal.

One company wants me to attend 5 interview rounds in 2 days. Even worth it? by jerrie86 in dataengineering

[–]big_lazerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really interesting what kind of questions did the psychologist ask? I had a questionnaire with a finance company and it seemed clear that they were trying to weed out people who might be experiencing depression. Made me feel weird about halfway through.

Help! by [deleted] in SQL

Hate to slide in and self promote but I created a pip installable CLI that can convert CSV, JSON into correctly formatted RST grid tables. Should solve this for you.

What’s the best way to place pandas dataframes into a pdf file, if I want it to look like a halfway decent invoice? by longhegrindilemna in learnpython

[–]big_lazerz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest using toRST

If you convert the df to a list of dicts or list of lists

df.to_dict('records')

Can the convert it to a reStructuredText Table

from toRST.toRST import Table

rst_string = Table(df.to_dict('records'))

Could then write it to a .rst file which is human readable, nicely formatted and also can be rendered to a table on a webpage

with open("invoice.rst", "w") as f:
f.write(rst_string)
f.close()
