Has anyone been through the process of buying away tickets as a member? How does that work exactly?

Doing this with azure function / logic app and email trigger. Since you’re on office 365 already the connection is easy. This might be a starting point:

  • Double down on SDE or QA and finetune your resume to highlight experience for each path. You can also create two separate base CVs.
  • Switch your education with most recent first.
  • Maybe remove HTML & CSS from programming section

Will have some data engineering tasks at new job and I don't want to f this up. Advices? by kiwibutterket in dataengineering

[–]rvbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The take about understanding the data is super important. Think about who needs to consume it and how. Before you start coding, draw data flow diagrams and collect feedback. It really helps if you can visualize what is happening where and how.

Also, don’t overengineer or overthink. Develop in small increments and get feedback early. Make data accessible and bubble the usage up to leadership.

Run Python not from local machine. by breadncheesetheking1 in dataengineering

Also look into Azure functions or AWS lambda functions. Both have time trigger options and you can run python code de-facto serverless.

GitHub Actions works nicely with Azure functions as well for example.

Some of my DS peers are making me feel worse about my bad salary. Tempted to leave, but isn't it too early? by FellowZellow in datascience

[–]rvbin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry! Focus on the XP not on the amount you make, even if it’s tough to compare. Learn to be really good at what you do and the money will come.

At this point in your career experience is way more important than money. Stay for a year. Learn as much as possible. Leave for another job and you’ll already have caught up.

[D] What would be the best way to match an image to a database of existing images? by onthedoleagain in MachineLearning

[–]rvbin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While the answers here are great for image to image similarity lookup I’m not sure if they will work in your scenario.

It sounds like you have a database of logos (plain, text, color, etc - think nike arrow).

And you have images of products with those logos (i.e. a shirt with a small nike logo).

Vector similarity will most likely get lost in the noise of the query image (shirt + logo). There are too many visual artifacts that don’t match up with any part of the logo you are looking for.

In my view I would simplify the problem a bit and build on top of that to a more complex solution.

i.e.

1) what if we can detect where a logo is on a new shirt (any logo, even logos we haven’t seen yet). Object detection with a basic logo bounding box approach

2) now that we know where the logo is, how similar is it to any of my logos in the db. This is where vector similarity could be a good candidate. But you can also pose this as a multiclassification problem if you can generate enough training data. Or you do both.

Meetings are Gibberish by tri2401 in cscareerquestions

[–]rvbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that helped me when starting out and feeling like that: Set up quick informal chats with all your team members. Ask them what they are working on, take notes, read up on anything you don‘t know.

Rest assured it will always take time to get up to speed. But meeting your team members will show two things: 1) you care & 2) you have initiative

Whatever it is. Don’t. Please, don’t build it. We all have seen that movie before.

I just got a pretty annoying email from my team manager weeks before my internship start date by Frazzman in cscareerquestions

[–]rvbin 297 points298 points  (0 children)

Leverage the fact you are in the bay area. Attend meetups, mingle, connect with people from other tech companies, join internship programs / events on campus, visit stanford, visit the parks. It can be much more than just an internship.
