Celebrities need to stop giving their sht to these SM companies and used Federated social media. So they can own their product and not have to worry about being censored for being anti-government.

Which is hilarious sentence now because this government so pro free speech!!! sarcasm*

But seriously this is something that if my main gig was to create music or some art form, I wouldn't want to be on a corp run platform. I would want to own it myself and the all that data.

I've stopped listening to Data Science podcasts because they only talk about LLMs as AI and those items. There are so many DS problems and topics that I would love to learn and read about but if it isn't about LLM or how an LLM might solve the problem it seems there is zero discussion about them.

Best advice I can give is what a buddy of mine did to go from a junior dev to a senior dev in a little under 5 years. He took his first JS job and didn't do anything for a year except learn everything about JS/Angular/React.

Now when I say he did nothing but that I mean exactly that. He lived with me and he went to his junior dev job, came home, made dinner, and went into his bedroom and worked on his dev job and studying everything about JSAR. He took on as many extra stories he could, cleaned up code to make the work easier, and asked 10k questions.

Then he found his next job after about a year, and found a better job. That one lasted about 2 years, and he did a similar thing, he helped clean up code, make the projects easier, and took on stories that he could do. And he played a little bit more but he still put more hours into his work than into his play time.

At this time he had 3 years, and moved on to his next job and did it all over again. And when he left this third job or his fourth he was the senior dev.

Also, he always worked with the team and didn't isolate (though above it sounds like he isolated - maybe from me but not from the job or team). He learned everything that he could during all this time and he helped newer developers or developers that were struggling with things that he wasn't. He was a team player and always helpful to everyone.

He is a senior developer, owns his on town house, commands a 6 figure salary and is bored so his time off is between learning new things, and taking time with his friends.

Also, every job was a different industry meaning he didn't specialize in a type of industry. Financial, travel, etc. He specialized in JSAR and he's an expert in Full Stack systems.

So if there is any advice I can give, from the immortal word of RuPaul - "You Better Work!!!" and become an expert and team player.

It wasn't about the first job he took as a junior developer - it was about the work and always doing more.

I was 32 and didn't want a relationship with anyone. I was down on dating. I went to a leather bar. I meet my SO playing a video game. He took me home. We were married 21 years later and have been together for 24 years last month.

He was the last person I expected to want to be in a relationship, yet, I couldn't imagine not being with him since we met.

Just put yourself out there and live your life. Expect nothing from no one. Enjoy yourself being single and get to know who the heck you are.

That is the only advice. If you are out there living life, expecting nothing, and enjoy everything that life has to give good and bad; someone will take notice and want to be with you.

Agreed. I'm a Data Analyst and as much as I use numpy/pandas/matplotlib for a lot of my work. When it comes to sharing the data that my work is based on I usually need to export it to Excel with the calculations.

There is just a need to use the more complex features to do things and that can also show how changing a variable affects the overall analysis. I can't give people a python script or jupyter notebook and tell them to do x or y or z.

I can recreate all my calculations in excel, using python, with the same graphs and visuals, and give them instructions on what cells relate to what variables that affect the analysis so they can experiment for themselves.

With Google sheets, LibreOffice, etc., I haven't seen that kind of functionality.

Personally, after going to Germany this past June heat pumps do suck. I don't work for the gas companies and have no stock in them. I'm for greener options but I never could get the room to the coolness that it was set for. I also have no proof as I didn't have a thermometer. So take my statements as purely anecdotal and no scientific proof. But I would definitely be interested to know if anyone here has a heat pump and if they are working for you.

I miss Byte and Nybble mags. There are no good programming/computer mags that take you into the software and teaching programming at different levels.

Not just beginner, intermediate, etc., but software and low level hardware for specific chip sets.

Raspberry PI mag is the closest thing. Maybe I should just downgrade my desktop to a RPI and enjoy the hobby again. Maybe, build a robo-dog/cat/creature.

Based on what. The twitter link is just a picture but there is zero source attribution. He uses his own twitter status for his article. So, he's the source of his own article. At this point the entire blog post, twitter post, and the credibility of the author I find lacking.

I'm not defending anything that Frances Haugen did do, or say, but I find it disturbing that anyone can take the author seriously if he can't find support for his argument that doesn't come from himself than he has no argument and linking to other "sources" means nothing he writes is verifiable beyond the actual documents he does link to.

Well, everything I wanted to buy is simply not on sale. If Prime Day isn't supported by those things that I want or need then why would I participate?

Forget minimum wage. I work a full time way above minimum wage and two things make it hard for me at school. a) tuition is a beast but at least my job as some reimbursement – though it pays for a semester 6 hours. b) the school barely has any classes geared towards someone who works. I know I could have gone to school at a technical school I did that years ago and I don’t recommend it. I went back over 5 years ago and did community college first. I received my Associates and that allowed me to transfer right into a four year institution as a junior. But every class that I need now about half are never taught until after 10:00 am and before 3:00 pm. Guess what I have to be at work for my job. Now my company supports me going to school but its almost like the school doesn’t support me going to work. They state they have an Adult Ed center where I can get help but guess what it closes at 5:00 pm?!? I don’t understand how you are supposed to have an AE center to help people who work but then you are not open to help them when they need it.

I almost feel penalized for not working at night but how can I give up (and really why should I give up) working at a great job. The school states that they have more evening classes for the Grad students but what about us Undergrads don’t we need evening classes? At least back in the 90′s (when I should have been in school), and in CA, I could have taken every Undergrad course at night. It would have taken me 6 – 7 years to earn a BS in Computer Science now I’m on year 8 and I still have a couple years to go at this rate.

Why am I being penalized? is the real question…oh and I’m earning straight A’s and I’m on the Chancellor’s/Dean’s list. But it doesn’t make sense to me.
