Some of what you're describing in 1-4 is Data Engineering . 5-6 exists (in some form) for most software jobs. The general breakdown I give people is: Data Scientists: * Get data. * Clean data (~…

Thank you for the last decade or so of amazing music. Love Bandcamp.

This. Absolutely this. I used to be terrible for "less legal" downloads until I discovered beatport, Juno and bandcamp. I'm pretty sure bandcamp is one of the reasons for my vinyl habit…

Keeping track of new releases on these labels has become a complete obsession. That Ulla record sold out sharpish!!
comment
Some of these labels veer towards electro sometimes but there's some decent IDM mixed in at the least. * Analogical force https://analogicalforce.bandcamp.com * Further electronix ht…

Unclear whether this is legit, or if you're being facetious to demonstrate a point. I'm gonna bet on the latter, seeing as this is HN! You intended to supply a local gang with guns and amm…

I've been umm-ing and ahh-ing about making the switch to a linux laptop full time. Currently have my work desktop (linux + windows for gaming :D) at home for lockdown and a file share/media …

For people who don't know what the xkcd compliance is: > The company's owner, Adrian Kennard (RevK), stated in a blog post that as of October 2010 the company is "xkcd/806"…

I'm on FTTC and I'm getting 70Mbps down pretty much as standard. That's throughout the day as well. Never noticed any issue with peak time usage. Regularly get about 30ms ping when play…

I believe they offer all of them on the open reach network. Simple ADSL, Fibre to cabinet, Fibre to premise and now G.Fast, which is on the order of 100Mbps-1Gbps speeds. Edit: to clarify, I'm sa…

This lot are my new ISP and I love it. Two phone calls to support on set up day, answered immediately. No support calls since. No peak time drains (that I've noticed). Bit more pricy, but you get…

> We offer both the slower ADSL services and the faster VDSL (fibre to the cabinet) services, FTTP and G.FAST services where available. The package is available with a copper pair or you can use wi…

> Their control pages (which are excellent BTW) Can confirm. They are awesome! You can see network logins/logouts for the last 12 hours. I love the email I get whenever my connection has dropp…

See if Andrews & Arnolds would work wherever you move to. I've been with them for a few months now and don't think I'll want to switch anyone else afterwards. https://www…

No, he asked him to do 80% of what he would normally do (something like 95%) because the last 20% usually takes the same amount of the effort. Development example: cover 80% of the possible file types…

Theres this thing called "the 80/20 rule". Story time: My dad used to work at Sainsbury's (big UK supermarket chain). One day the CEO (Lord Sainsbury I think he said it was) popped…

This is on point. My PhD friend is doing data science for a startup which grew out of a biology lab. The team is basically her, the engineers and one dude keeping the business side running. They now h…

Read your post. Yeah, conda works fine with pip stuff. And yes, what you've detailed is similar to pinning versions in requirements. Which I do as standard -- I even do it with apt installs somet…
comment
Yeah I know I'm on one side of the fence with this. The people I work with (not engineers) use conda all the time and love it. A big thing for me is that apt + pip means I know more about what I&…
