There is a second edition?

This was the solid book to get into data science and ML scene. Covers everything. Jake is a fantastic teacher. I really wish he comes up with updated second edition.

The link you referenced points to error page.

This made me sad because I served my need so well. Now I will have to think about alternatives. I wish they could open-source it.

Read his annual letters to shareholders. Fantastic writings.

I am amateur and more or less an ignorant in programming domain so what I say doesn't matter much.

Why not a pick a language of choice and write some ambitious framework/library? Like Numpy/Pandas for Python. Maybe a web development framework? That way, there is a reasonable chance your work will be noticed or used. Look Maybe pick Julia and write a library for it. I believe Julia doesn't have as many libraries as Python does.

By the way, as much as I know, all the languages were written by 'old' people. Young people rarely have that much knowledge or experience. They don't even know one language fully well. So age is actually at your side.

One week ago, I would've missed what you did there. Glad YouTube recommended that song. It is a good song.

This sort of overemphasized paranoia about security is something which makes me, I dunno, irritated. If you decide to go to extreme, everything is unsafe but you don't want an old device even as a secondary device?

I'd rather work on my paranoia than on getting a fully secured device.

By the way, I am writing this on a mobile with 2 GB RAM and running Android 9 as my other mobile got broken.

Whatsapp has already started stinking. These days I get many spam-ish messages from verified enterprises. As of now I am getting notification related messages from entities I am using services of but some of them have started sending spams. Although it is tolerable as of now but I can see where this is going. Too bad Whatsapp is defacto messaging app in India. So much so that even gov organizations are using it to interact with citizens.

I am 40 yrs old and English is my second language. I cant give you some specific examples but when I watch old hollywood movies (50-60s), I mostly understand dialogues. Dialogues from modern movies are a bit harder to understand and I cant watch any movie without subtitle.

I am currently typing this on a 4 years old shitty Xiaomi budget mobile phone. I don't recall if I've ever updated mobile software (or if there was an update available) but my phone is working as good as it should. So far I haven't seen any problem in installing any app. I don't see myself replacing this phone in next 6 month at least.

I guess tech people are way too much worried about security/software updates.

If you ignore his strong opinions, it can be good. Although he was (is?) very much hated back in the day (when Python 2 was still mainstream), many many noobs did benefitted from his book. So I'd say give it a try.
