To code well, you need to be able to write well too. If your code isn't clearly written it can't be understood and it can't be maintained. Writing well isn't a "nice to have" for doing software development, it's a…
I think a large part of the problem is that the Tolstoy "All clean data is clean in the same way, but all dirty data is dirty in its own way" riff is itself an over-simplification. In practice, "clean" just means "fit…
I think the author's underlying point is that all of the decentralised applications she's talking about rely on their having a large number of users communicating with one another in order to do what they're supposed to…
I think it may be more a "monolinguals are hard to understand in a lingua franca situation" issue. It just happens that a lot of English speakers are monolingual compared to speakers of most other languages. When you…
Fantastic. An N dimensional error-handling space. That's exactly what Python is lacking.
Quite. Who are mere German public officials to question the rectitude of an organisation as august as Facebook?
The whole point of a minimum wage increase is that it will increase all restaurants' wage costs to the same degree, at the same time. Meaning that going "down the street", potential diner's will find that all…
Sure. Quite. But why not try developing an AI to replace them that can make you a >5x return?
Not insurmountable issues, in my experience: - Your commute is sufficiently short (I managed a 30k round trip every day at my last job. Took about 45 minutes each way.) - You have facilities to shower and dress at work…
What major investment would be required from the city or developers to set up cycling infrastructure? Painting some cycle lanes onto the roads? Marking a few car parking places as bike parking places? That's all that…
As you indicate, Pandas is effectively another language, distinct from regular Python. E.g. it doesn't really use loops. So I think what irritates a lot of people about pandas is that they think "Cool. I can solve this…
Same here. Why re-invent SQL as a weird object system? I've also recently found that using the sqlite3 command line tool increases my productivity when doing data sciency stuff a lot. It's a super fast, super simple way…
