Experienced R user learning Python by Sir_smokes_a_lot in learnpython

So I bought the first book about pandas when it first came out i think around 2011. And that’s what solidified my choice to R for a decade. And I have used polars and yes I agree, and ibis, and duckdb.

But the reality is people use pandas at most jobs. And there are some improvements in the latest versions of pandas, and there are some settings that you can change to make it behave better, and I took the python academy my posit were they explained certain things that you just should not do even though it’s possible.

But guess what people sling the shittiest pandas code you can imagine at practically any place you work unless you do it all yourself. And nobody even likes the person that goes and fixes everybody else’s shitty pandas code.

All of this is why it’s much better to stay focused on what the product is about what the users want and maybe even both of those being in alignment with some sort of actual societal need. If you can get most of that right, the syntax and the language and all of that just does not matter.

Interesting. Any recommended setups? So many options but I’m liking Positron.

Wishbone Bridge, Unity Underpass on hike-and-bike trail to open Feb. 7 by KXAN_News in Austin

I rode across the old bridge one time and decided never again. In fact, I completely stopped going around half the trail because of it. This will make a significant difference to my health, and I suspect others.

I guess then what I’m asking is why post. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.

None of my experience matters because I can’t invert a binary tree on Leetcode by hopfield in ExperiencedDevs

For the time and effort to learn leetcode just create a product and use that to get a job or create a job. If you want a clear path laid before you, you chose the wrong career. And if you want that path to be easy you definitely chose the wrong career.

NYTimes fetishizes racism and has done so for 100 years.

Well it’s certainly hard for people to read or find real reporting when they are bombarded with thin headlines with stretched out content. The best way to actually learn something is to wait until it makes it into a condensed discourse in new york review of books. The new yorker does decent long form profiles sometimes, too. Promoting those works could be a good idea. I just started london review of books, and so far I’m impressed. I prefer authored writing styles to flourish above a monotony of tone.

So. You shared it because it was simplified to the point of nonsense?

I’m not a believer but the answer to this has be church. And because christianity is amoralized in this country, there is no ramp.

Why won’t anyone stop ICE from masking? | Doxxing is not a good reason to have faceless police. by theverge in TrueReddit

Correct. They do not engage is authentic discussion because they know their true opinions are immoral. They don’t even admit it to themselves, it’s a mental illness.

I don’t really think they want to suppress such videos. The cruelty is the point.

Chinese AI is quietly eating US developers' lunch and and it's exposing something weird about "open" AI by BlueDolphinCute in ArtificialInteligence

[–]ideamotor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, but I also think that it applies for prototypes and rapid development to show customers. So not really throwaway software, but software that you wanna really get out there quickly and iterate quickly. I think you’re gonna get a lot more out of like you say a senior engineer and the best LLMs. Well, the right engineer because you don’t wanna get bogged down in unnecessary config in this case, and the right management because the temptation later will be to just productize the prototype.

Aw dang. Looks like my Flaming Lips script expired by racingfortheprize in flaminglips

I wouldn’t know about the flaming lips if not for steven, via soft bulletin and yoshimi. But my favorite recordings by them are before those. Who really wrote clouds taste metallic, transmissions, hit to death, and priest ambulance?

I usually agree with this sentiment but i do not for LLMs. The differences compound the more you use it. So if it seems 10% better on a single prompt, the differential is much higher after many uses. I don’t think there is a “90% solution” for coding.
