I asked Bussi if he was glad to be a lefty today: "Every day. I'm proud of it. I'm a small union, so I've got to stay strong."

@DelFest @sierrahull Beautiful playing. Ended way too soon. Left me needing to hear more.

@jacobmenick I also wanted to accomplish the same bad idea :). Came up with a different approach using the Jupyter's Tornado server (cell 11):

Hope everyone is enjoying their week-long stint as a data scientist, the most glamorous tech job of the last 10 years, supposed to be spent analyzing sophisticated models, but really spent mostly monitoring those few stray batch import jobs that haven't finished yet.

Unpopular view: Data scientists should be more end-to-end.

While this is frowned upon (too generalist!), I've seen it lead to more context, faster iteration, greater innovation—more value, faster.

When I go out, I always wear a face-mask. I also generally wear foot-shoes, leg-pants, and a torso-shirt.

If you, too, hate spending 15% of your Gmail mobile screen real estate on a Meet button you'll never use...

It's easier to code right to left because then the code doesn't smudge if you're left handed

This is too weird.

To be fair, if you're asking someone who worked on Windows, "shut down and restart" worked pretty well there.

[Sean J. Taylor @seanjtaylor]

I've been reflecting a lot on why data science is so hard to do well. My current mental model: value is generated multiplicatively.

You must get each thing right or it's worth almost nothing:

- Formulate good questions
- Quality data
- Correct analysis
- Communicate findings

The trolley is barreling down the track towards five grandmothers. You can pull the switch and redirect it so that it kills no one. But you have to wear a mask to buy a toaster oven. What do you do?
