I believe that Everybody Codes has a leaderboard where it starts counting from when you first open the puzzle. So if you're looking for coding puzzles with a leaderboard that one would be fair for you.

Or you could just feed your dog a vegan dog food, which is perfectly healthy. I've been doing that with my 11 year old Border Collie since he's been a puppy. Here's one example: https://www.naturalbalanceinc.com/dog-recipes/dry/limited-in...

I hate when I buy an interesting math book and then it's like "oh wait, no solutions." And then I end up going on GitHub hoping for community-worked solutions.
I've been wanting to read books like Algorithms for Optimization (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0262039427/) and Probabilistic Machine Learning (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0262046822/) but when I open them up I immediately think "wow I really need to refresh my calculus because I have no idea what's going on." It sounds like I should look into Math Academy for relearning old Calculus and learning some new stuff as well.

There’s a reason a lot of malware won’t install on a user’s computer if it detects they’re using a Russian keyboard.

I think I would enjoy working for a 3 letter agency but the USDS website makes it look like you'll be working on very different types of things. Although I suppose they wouldn't be advertising that work.
Re:JupyterLab 4.0 on Friday June 16, 2023 @09:57AM (#36356667)
I've been using Jupyter Lab for ages now since it had a dark mode and Notebooks didn't. It's been so many years though maybe that has changed by now and I haven't noticed.
Well I used my real-world driving numbers in my post. Here's a photo I took this morning showing how many miles I get per kWh since getting my Bolt EUV. I don't know what was going on with your Tesla.

I'm a clear outlier but my apartment is near charging stations where I can charge for free. I just hit 700 miles on my new Bolt EUV and have so far managed to pay nothing for electricity.

But if I did have to pay, I believe my apartment charges $0.30 per kWh. And I get 4.5 miles of range per kWh. So it's $6 to drive 100 miles. Gas is over $4/gallon here so a car that gets 33 mpg would spend over $12 to go 100 miles.

If I was paying $0.125 per kWh like I've seen other people report in this thread then I'd spend $2.50 to go 100 miles.

And you can feel better about shopping at Costco since they actually pay/treat their employees well.

Santa Clara is an option? Awesome, I'm going to apply for the Data Scientist role.

Dang, I wish I had experience with healthcare data.
I just say "please send me the job description" instead of agreeing to a call. If it looks like a good fit then we can arrange a call.

With WFH I feel like my social life is better than ever, even with the "quarantine". Due to the flexibility of work days I can meet friends outside at parks and enjoy socializing at a safe distance. This may change in the winter.
