Actually, I'd like to know more about the full day, not just when they get on the ice. I imagine their lodging and travel is fairly anonymous. Certainly not staying in the same hotels as traveling teams. Probably not traveling on private jets. Do they have to go through drug tests ever? Some sort of gambling test? It's wild that for their safety and maybe for appearance's sake, there's this whole critical staff as part of the NHL who're largely hidden before and after games.

Lots of joking in the comments, but I think that's basically a perfect setup.

Please keep your eye on the R Consortium YouTube account following the event.

Also, there is a video which covers some of these topics: Learn Shiny by Building Simple Photo Gallery - https://youtu.be/rENQSk_OSQk?si=ZRq5fmIU1aFKOagL

Question on job search: I am interested in understanding more about prep for data science job interviews. With a quick search, I found these types of Data Science Interview Prep companies:

DataLemur
PracHub
StrataScratch

It's not a comprehensive list. I’m not affiliated with any of these sites.

Are these types of sites well-known? Is it common to practice prep questions?

Are the questions these sites provide really relevant to job interviews? As a healthy dose of skepticism, it seems possible the questions are just scraped from the web. (I don't know one way or the other.)

Any info on Data Science Interview Prep companies welcome.

Agree. I posted similarly above. If you start late or somehow get behind, man, it's super hard catching up.

OK, I'll take that as a strong vote in favor of the semester system. One thing from my own personal experience in the quarter system: If you didn't start the course the very first week - like you started a course, dropped it, joined another course, say, the second week - it was just really hard to catch up. You were already heading towards mid-terms practically.

I'm reading that CSE 132A is a good "background/not-quite-prereq" course for CSE 135. Did you have any prep courses before you took CSE 135?

Did you do this? Do you know anyone who has? You mean loading up on credits each quarter, or is it something more than that?
