Yes, Polars does extremely well in popular data manipulation benchmarks.

There is nothing like data.table in Julia, Python or JavaScript (if you want to stick to high level programming languages). It's the best combo you can get for speed + syntax.

Perhaps in the past, not that statisticians left, but I am referring to "users", not developers.

> I am seeing a downfall in industry Exactly, it is an industry-driven change IMO. In fact, R has gained a lot of popularity in academia, especially in the Social Sciences --though…

It's sad to see the downfall of R. I still use R a lot interactively, but Python takes at least 50% of the share. R had a good run, and IMO they still have some packages that are j…

DEI is not a scapegoat but the culmination of the corporate culture that infested Boeing. It is usually a symptom rather than the pathogen.

> which includes the unjustly neglected data.table So so true. I was working on an adhoc project that needed a quick result by the end of the day. I had to pull this series of parq…

Looks like a hit piece on him and the politicians he is associated with.

Still surprising to see a poorly written piece of text. You'd think Nubank's comm leadership would have an extensive language background in English.

Having money is necessary but not sufficient to achieve the things he did. There are other millionaires and billionaires who tried to do what he did but couldn't. Regardless of you…

Certainly in North America it is very hard to develop your company into a big business without engaging in some cronyism. Obviously this is true. You could argue this has always be…

"good at capitalism"? What are you trying to say? Are you conflating "good at capitalism" with "good at running a business"? Not trying to endorse or defend capitalism, but this ar…

That is an excellent question. As usual, there are many factors that contribute to the current housing situation. On the supply side, I feel a major issue is lack of qualified work…

I don't know how this does not exacerbate the housing problem in Canada. It's terrible here. I own a rowhouse in a decent neighborhood of a middle-sized city in Canada. Prices have…

I live in North America and I have no desire to move back to Brazil. I've toyed with the idea of going there once a year and spend 3 months working remotely but the reality is that…

Good luck. No doubt you will be employed quickly.

Amazing that you were able to bring class divide that inflation fosters without mentioning the major responsible for it: the government and central banks. In fact, inflation is, in…
