Data Science is different things to different people so the list of things you need to know is hard to pin down.
It's often understood to go beyond data analysis.

In addition to Python programming and statistics you need to know at least:
- data manipulation tools including SQL, dataframes (polars, pandas)
- fund…

I'm interested in a EU-based domain registrar to move out of the US-based registrar I've been using.

An Orange County man who recorded himself fatally shooting a homeless man he said was blocking his path remained free this week after a jury deadlocked in his manslaughter trial.

According to prosecutors, Elliott and Avalos got into a confrontation on Sept. 29, 2…

Mein Vater war (guter) Kunde im Mitarbeiter-Shop des Unternehmens, bei dem er 2004 nach 35 Jahren Betriebszugehörigkeit in Rente ging. Zuletzt hat er dort 2018 oder 2019 eingekauft, im Januar 2023 ist er verstorben. Ich habe den Shop mehrfach darüber informiert. Kurz vor Weihnachten erneut Werbepost an die Adresse des im Frühjahr 2022 verkauften Elternhauses. Ich überlege jetzt, mal den Datenschutzzuständigen ausfindig zu machen und anzufragen, ob das da alles DSGVO-konform abläuft.

Starting the year with a drive-by contribution to the hamster time tracker.
I find that noteworthy because I'm going back to the time tracker I enjoyed using until 2018, when due to the project announcing EoL (IIRC) I switched to charmtimetracker.
Now that too is EoL since 2023, but hamster development did continue after 2018, so hey, could have saved myself a lot of annoyance by sticking with the software I like and patching it up where needed.

Indeed.

What the USA is currently doing in Venezuela looks very much like a semi-hostile takeover of one criminal organization by a more powerful one.

If there's any "rationality" it only exists in relation to the interests of shockingly small circles of power, in either country.

In early 2023, Paul Newby, the Republican chief justice of North Carolina’s Supreme Court,
gave the state and the nation a demonstration of the stunning and overlooked power of his office. 
The previous year, the court — then majority Democrat — had outlawed partisan gerrymandering in the swing state.
Over Newby’s vehement dissent, it had ordered independent outsiders to redraw electoral maps that the GOP-controlled legislature had crafted to conservatives’ advantage.

But - besides the environmental insanity and the theft - it's doubtful it will even work out economically. I doubt they can get a return on what they'd need to invest any more. They'll need to plunder more than oil.

I have no sympathy for Maduro or his regime, and would be happy for Venezuelans to replace it, but this looks very much like a takeover of a sovereign country for economic exploitation by force. And (yet another) terrible "might is right" precedent.

Unfortunately I don't expect much. Some calls for restraint. Maybe some polite condemnation. The more likely the further west but nothing with teeth.

We are not getting independent (of the US) foreign policies until we have taken charge of our security and of critical financial and technology infrastructure.

I guess it depends on the language. I use polars heavily with Python. It works really really well. It's not just faster than pandas, it's more ergonomic, more regular, more composable and less quirky.
