Additionally, with device ID you could probably get other datasets that contain email name etc. That seems like a better route to go than the GPS tracks. But, maybe just having the app wasn’t invasive enough.
If you can be funny while doing all that — you’re my boss. I’ve had some great bosses in the past, inspiring, and another mark is that i grow as a person and professional while serving such bosses. There was space to do work, make mistakes, and do better afterwards.
Pens I'm agnostic on brand (although I do like uni-ball). It has to just have enough quality not to leak all the time, and 0.7-0.75 seems to be the sweet spot in terms of comfort, speed and writing accuracy. I do have a bunch of Muji pens (5 different colours) in the .38 range, when I really need to insane diagramming and get the super accuracy. Speed is less of a concern then.
Cost of recycled and new plastic can easily be inverted by just taxing new plastic until it’s twice as expensive as recycled. Recycled can be subsidized with new plastic taxes. Problem solved!
However, the most important feature I love about tableau and why I’m not dropping it is: the data import and sharing dashboard section. I’m sure this is something that could be interesting to investigate.
The data section where you can link data columns (and filter across all datasets after linking) and do pivot work in an intuitive way(see melt in pandas).
The data dashboards are great to share with my clients the output of my analysis work. I’d love it move to a bokeh style, but customizing those dashboards is not for the faint of heart, although you get an opensource very robust product at the end, and you don’t need to pay license fees going forward. Clients that want to keep their analysis for the long term can go for this option.
A great example is computer assisted humans are the best chess players. Humans continually prod and break ai, but also improve it.
Another example was the go ai that could be beaten with a trick but humans would never fall into the same trap. But once the flaw is know, a response or learning can be introduced to the computer to solve these issues.
My opinion is that I get very close of this REPL style with a notebook and (right click on notebook tab in Jupyter lab) open console for notebook.
This opens a REPL (iphython console) alongside the notebook. The you can code all kinds of Clojure stylistic Python ways using nested dictionaries.
You have to make sure to copy paste you finished code into the notebook or other .py file not to loose it, but it’s minor.
I don’t have a dedicated browser, I use edge chrome safari and Firefox interchangeably. However, I work on websites for a living. Using different browsers is part of the job and if I don’t I might miss something breaking somewhere.
Generally my thinking has been get passwords into 1P, store bookmarks and interesting sites in zotero. Now, all I use the browsers for its pure rendering capabilities.
Also the write it down is so amazing. In meetings and while doing research I keep notes and lists for days, that I may never return to. But it’s active listening and studying even at a (seemingly) slow pace that keeps me going.
There is also dask to increase parallelism and performance which I’ve used on some massive datasets 200GB+
I stop telling my clients that they pay us to build and buy, but it’s build and maintain afterwards.
That always raises a few questions as building in one way versus the other can lead to higher or lower levels of costs in that maintenance phase.
And, it can’t be cost effectively decoupled. Some governmental agencies think that these are separate services and should be acquired through two different bidding processes, that seems to be a bad idea as small updates will be cheap for those that know the underlying mechanics of the project but expensive for a third party.
Maybe change this? Simply add:
User-agent: * Disallow:
To allow all crawlers to the site.
If you are a tinker this laptop is for you and the abilities are endless.
I hardly ever get an unknown important call that doesn’t fall in those categories. This has me not picking up the phone for spam calls, but I hardly ever miss an important call.
There are other things I’ve setup that I don’t want to go into because they can be solved by the spam callers and I’d like to keep it a secret ;)
Yes, also from Canada it’s absolutely the worst. I came from the Netherlands, and it’s absolute world of difference. The telcos need to resolve this at a system level and get rid of these call centre software solutions. However, I’m sure Telus/Bell/Rodger are all get lots of money from all these calls so no incentive to stop them.
Can’t help but think that at some point people made the wrong decision along the way.
And there are many benefits that have been explored in the modelling community that are local and produce direct benefits to humans. Local reduction of the solar radiation above Greenland or Antarctic areas could reduce ice melt, or above cities during the hottest days of the year to counter the heat island effect. Then there’s large parts of the ocean that we could reduce to lower tyfoon strength. just to name a few.
The question is always when-where-by how much, and how wide spread. There are obvious questions of drift because of climate and weather, of the clouds but I’m not an expert in these kind of systems.
ideally this sulfer(compound) has a lifetime of just 24 hours and can be locally distributed, appropriately monitored, and has no other detrimental effects on the environment.
This might just be one of the things we need in our tool box.
