I get anxiety when I smoke and am way too young to attribute it to any sort of “reeder madness” - so it’s definitely a thing. I don’t smoke super often, and don’t always get anxiety when I do, but it definitely gave me terrible anxiety when I was younger.

If anyone else gets anxiety when they smoke, I recommend smoking sativa instead of indica (nicknamed “in da couch” because of its anxiety effects). I was given the tip from a stoner friend, and it’s fsirly true in my experience.

I felt exactly the same way, and this as someone who spent their entire life surrounded by motorcycles. The philosophical insights just felt a bit... corny? And the rest was just plain boring.

I skimmed through the book, and think it does a very poor job at showcasing how R and Python are juxtaposed in industry.

To be fair, the book advertises showing R and Python code side-by-side. And that’s what it does. But it does it unlike how the languages are most often used in industry.

As a quick example, I saw no tidyverse code, which is essentially the only thing keeping R in the game. Learning R from this book won’t prepare you for writing R in most R shops.

I don’t see the utility in knowing how to do the same thing in both python and R if you’re a beginner. This is even more true if you’re not taking advantage of the strengths/weaknesses of either language.

Instead, just learn one of the languages well, and then learn the other well. Shallow dives in both will make you weak in both.

Unfortunately, 90% of data science content seems to be geared at beginners.

I can’t think of any other retailer that does this. Best Buy, Walmart, Famous Footwear, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc. all honor the same prices in person as they do online.

Exactly. Her past pattern of poor behavior really speaks for itself.

I’d be interested if her husband has a similar reputation in his field. Shame we don’t have any names, if only so their actions yield some sort of consequence.

Hopefully court pans out in the author’s favor (assuming what he said is indeed the true rendition of events).
