Tim the enchanter!

Have seen jobs where PhD is "required". (Many data scientists tend to push this view as they feel it protects them and gives them elevated status). Am also in the middle of trainin…

Really enjoying jupytext. I do a bunch of my training from Jupyter and it has made my workflow better.

Nice commute! (I used to ride almost the exact same path about 20 years ago)

That's interesting as the Spark api was inspired by Pandas

Do you publish on Amazon? If not, you are leaving a lot of money (relative to leanpub sales) on the table.

This sponsoring is cool. I wonder if they would work with self-published books. Writing a book is a huge effort (I'm the author of a couple Python books, one of which is on the cur…

You have probably never noticed but most modern cars have a small arrow by the gas dial that points to the side of the car where you fill up.

Seen Divvy, never tried it. I'll have to look into it. This might be what I'm looking for http://www.hammerspoon.org/docs/hs.grid.html

This is pretty cool. Is there anything similar for OSX? The corner specification would come in handy on 40inch 4K monitor (Currently using Hammerspoon, but use qtile on Linux)

As a self published author, the best way to support me is to review on Amazon or share on social media :)

I appreciate that. Thanks!

Hence, when I'm doing a corporate training, this material takes about three days to cover.

Yeah, these slides were for a long conference talk that introduced the basic syntax of Python to developers who weren't familiar with Python. (List) comprehensions are super cool, …

Just noticed this on my commute home (author of slides). This is an old and condensed version of corporate training that I run. Typically the training runs for some 4 days. If you …

Keep practicing. I've used an ergodox for about 4 years with the Norman layout. I am still proficient at qwerty on laptop style keyboards. Though I'm not a musician I assume it is …

Cool. What is the monitization strategy? Affiliate from Datacamp?

I have written all of my books (Treading on Python, Pandas, etc) in restructuredtext. I have tools that convert said markup to epub and LaTeX[0]. There is some learning curve, but …

If you are noticing more floaties it could be a sign of a retina tear, which would lead to a detachment (not fun see my other comment). Might want to go get an eye checkup.

I had a retina detachment earlier this year. My retina had torn and scarred on the bottom of my eye and decided to detach while I was out of the country. Recovery has been ok and I…

It seems like this is an area where Statistical Process Control would shine. Did you consider using that?

At one of my clients I basically live in jupyter and emacs. One of my issues with jupyter is that I'm often in a mode where I'm doing development and some analysis. The browser cli…

If you have access to a 3d printer (to make the cases) you won't save much by going through massdrop. It is convenient though (says someone who has bought one from two different dr…
