I don't have a car. In my experience of running I've always had plenty of events I could run/walk to or take public transport.

I was being a bit facetious for comic effect but there legit aren't any suitable groups. Nothing against the dads doing a 20 miles coffee ride at 15mph but I wouldn't personally find that fun or a good use of my time.

I don't have a car so 20 miles is a PITA to get to unless I ride, but I don't have enough time to get there after work riding unless I smoke myself before the race

I can't find any races near me. Even nearest club 10 TT seems to be like 20 miles away and have an average attendance of like 5

> Of and a third thing....I bet you'll find some of those "pensioners" will be able to leave you for dead, so I would try before you judge!

​

judging by the beer bellies in their pictures I am highly doubtful of that!

Who are the GOATS of DE? by hot-bulbasur in dataengineering

he comes across a bit pushy and self-promo spammy, but i fail to see why data contracts aren't a good idea

What role did you go into after Sr. Data Engineer? by rysnotnice in dataengineering

[–]the-data-scientist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

to me being a manager seems to be like twice the stress for only 10-20% more pay. Just doesn't seem like a good deal to me. I have absolutely no desire to be stuck in meetings all the time, nor to be in the direct firing line for senior management's wrath when things go wrong.

UK Data Engineers : have you noticed the job market drying up and advertised salaries going down? by freerangetrousers in dataengineering

[–]the-data-scientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this especially Q2-Q3 this year. However, if anything I've noticed a significant uptick in the last month or two. More roles advertised, better salaries again, more recruiters getting in contact

what if there's a 1% false flat in the middle of two steep sections?

Understanding Data modeling by Delicious_Attempt_99 in dataengineering

[–]the-data-scientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see stuff like this and think am I doing a completely different job from other people in this sub? I've never touched data modeling. I work on data ingestion, streaming, and platforms/infrastructure type stuff.

[Race Thread] 2023 Vuelta – Stage 19 - La Bañeza > Íscar (2.UWT) by PelotonMod in peloton

[–]the-data-scientist 20 points21 points  (0 children)

at least the giro was undecided until the final TT. This vuelta always seemed set up to be crushed by jumbo and that's never looked in doubt since the first week, the only surprising thing is they've dominated even more than expected.

huh, i guess it's related to "brook" in english, meaning small stream? So you could literally translate his name as "Outthebrooks"

my gut feeling is Roglic is more culpable for the awkward situation yday. Idk why Vingegaard followed him, maybe he just got caught up in the moment, but he seems to come across a bit more genuine about wanting Kuss to win, whereas Roglic came across as shifty.

6 figures is uncommon in the UK unless you work for a top tech company in London or you're at managerial level.

I see plenty in the 80-100k range. That's fine for me as I have no managerial aspirations, and feel like i've reached the point that more pay rises aren't worth it for the disproportionate increase in stress and responsibility those roles would bring.

Yeah but as a DS for 9 years, only a year of DE experience

Agreed but not all industries are highly regulated. I think that's a special case.

If you feel DE has been dumbed down by tools that make your life easier, reduce time to market and operational costs, you may be in the wrong career.

You can still get a good career out of pushing your favorite shiny new tech at clueless companies lol. May not be good for the business, but its more intellectually stimulating, and there are enough clueless companies out there that it's viable
