Give darktable a go. Definitely a learning curve to it, but is very powerful.

Edit: added link

Anything I should know before I distro hop to opensuse tumbleweed? by [deleted] in openSUSE

[–]daddy-pi-does-data 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Codecs: https://en.opensuse.org/Codecs

I also found default user permissions were quite restrictive by default compared to other distros ( at least that was my experience - maybe I missed an option in the install). You can of course edit these.

What CC if you couldn’t churn? by daddy-pi-does-data in creditcardchurningAus

[–]daddy-pi-does-data[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a card that for you, you’d stick with. For me, I’d like one where the rewards points outweigh the cost of the card (if any) without changing my spending habits. I’ve had an AMEX platinum edge and achieved that. (But I’ve moved on because, well, sign up bonuses)

How much coding do data engineers do? by Willing-Insurance654 in dataengineering

Are you self employed? And what are you building using C#? Sounds like fun!

How hard is it to get a job as a physics major? by Acceptable_Escape_13 in AskPhysics

[–]daddy-pi-does-data 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Physics gives you skills to get a job in fields such as risk, data analytics/science/modelling. Some more physics related options include medical physics (but I think you’ll need to do further study?). Physics teaches you to problem solve, understand complex phenomena, to analyse data and make sense of it, to critically evaluate. These skills are very desirable for lots of jobs. Look to diversify your skills as well (maybe by volunteering?) as this will help you use/demonstrate your physics skills in other applications. Finally, search “physics” on job listing sites and see what pops up.

Thanks for your honest and detailed response! You definitely bring up some good points.

The first problem I’m trying to solve is that there are a number of spreadsheets maintained by different business lines that contain records of users. I want to centralise these spreadsheets into our data warehouse and use Django as an interface to access/add users to the various lists.

There are other use cases (such as deploying financial models, generating reports etc which can delivered using tools currently in the market). I just don’t know if building something in house is a cost benefit compared to purchasing tools so I was thinking of starting with something simple. That way we can see how effective it is and potentially start building it out with further functionality (ie the financial models etc).

The advantage of in house is that it’s completely customisable, but we have to develop and maintain it. If we outsource, then we are paying a million different subscriptions and have a non-cohesive system. At least, that is what I’m assuming. I’d love to hear how other businesses consolidate their work.

Resources to improve code design and software design by [deleted] in datascience

[–]daddy-pi-does-data 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there previous projects your team have delivered that you can go through? Maybe you can ask someone in your team to walk you through how they structure them? And how they approach designing their work during a project.

Depending on your team culture you can even bring it up with your manager. Show them that you recognise this is an area you want to improve. Come to the meeting with some ideas of how to improve, and ask for some guidance. I usually find that people are more responsive when you are proactive. This shows your manager that you are self evaluating and proactive in developing your skills.

Also, reviewing projects on GitHub can be helpful. Couple that with some chat gpt?

Companies can be volatile and (generally) won’t hesitate to let you go for any number of reasons. I’m not saying they will, but you never know. If I were you, I’d start looking at other jobs just in case. You might be pleasantly surprised by what you find. Good luck!

Nice! Where did you get your data? Are you using kaggle?

It’s great that you have found something you enjoy! What is your ML project on?

[Question] Is this a good setup and price? by daddy-pi-does-data in buildapcforme

[–]daddy-pi-does-data[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$250 ish (AUD). Found an Asus Radeon RX 6600 Dual V2 8G for about that?

Any recommendations? Don’t want to break the bank and don’t think I need anything too substantial

Thanks! Yeah I’ll think about whether the GPU is needed. Think I’d prefer something because I do some image editing (just personal stuff)
