I am frustrated by this article. 1. Why focus on Swifts as opposed to any other species in decline? They state that they are "iconic", so maybe that's the answer? Are they more "iconic" than any other specifies in S

GDP records market transactions. So in your scenario, purchasing the chicken, the chicken feed, the chicken coop, etc would all be measured. The time spent raising the chicken (assuming you did not pay someone to do it), would not be captur

I would not over complicate this. My personal four part plan for this is: 1. Donate a portion of my income to charitable causes I find worthy. I would like to target 10% of my net income. 2. Volunteer at a local organization that you care a

Has anyone implemented a DSL for a professional use case? I would love anyone to share what was the use case, what alternatives did you consider and how did you measure success? I have previously implemented one for credit policy decisions,

This is a common practice in other high altitude, high traffic mountains, such as Aconcagua. Rangers actually watch you deposit your excrement bag and fine you if you do not do so or they catch you leaving your waste on the mountain. I&#x27

I don't think its any less convenient for my partner than if I worked in an actual office. Plus, I still have the added benefit of no commute, which means more time with my partner.

I see the value in this, but I personally have not had success with it. I have found I am most effective remote if during my working hours, I don't do anything I wouldn't do if I was working at the office. For me, that means no la

Streamlit and Shiny for Python are both great for cranking out simple UI's for basic use cases, especially where there is a tie-in with something data or machine learning related. A typical workflow could be for a team to prototype in

I've had a similar thought. I read a LOT of these various blogs and I frequently ask myself whether its valuable and how much time I should invest in these. I've concluded its probably valuable and a few hours a week is probably t

Yeah I totally agree, but I do think there are times when starting with the absolute most basic implementation that meets the business needs is the way to go. That could be a simple bash script, or a python script without Django, etc. In my

Pinecone is in a tough spot. A huge number of database vendors are implementing vector functionality into their products, which risks the niche that Pinecone is attempting to carve out for their business. They are probably trying to gain ad

This may be nitpicking, but technologies being described as "cool" versus "enterprise" or "new" versus "old" I find meaningless. I don't necessarily want to have the "coolest" or "

Yeah I see your point. A few thoughts: 1. This assumes that that a someone can/will usually accurately scope 4 stories, with proper requirements, and clear peer review standards. In practice, this can be hard to do and inconsistent. 2.

Agreed. For example, I recently had an auto-generated SQL query that I needed to debug. It was formatted on one line and was impossible to read. I asked GPT-4 to clean up the query and it gave me something that was much easier to consume. I
