Oh boy, I can't even get spyder to move between two of my monitors because it always complains about scaling and then I can't get the popup to consistently not show up

Would you prefer to hide it forever? We could add an option for that, but scaling could fail in some circumstances.

I would 100% rather hide it forever

I think there is times where comparing the ratio of economic stock vs. flow, i.e capital to wealth ratios, but yah the billionaire wealth to GDP comparisons just seem silly.

I get what they're trying to say, but it is the weakest way to argue their point.

"stayed between the red velvet ropes once inside" This is a lie.

Formerly and regrettably used to receive a paycheck from UI, basically the case

Tangentially, when COVID-19 forced my company to go work from home it thrust in to my face all the things that about that company that made me hate my job and gave me anxiety attacks.

I ultimately quit that job with nothing lined up and found a much more fulfilling job, with better pay. I don't think I would have quit that last job if it wasn't for the disruption, and I would have still been miserable.

The main thing we had to adjust to at my work during that period was understanding just how many decisions were being without all the stakeholders present.

I had a good two months where every day felt like being a chef who was asked how the banquet preparations were going, without anyone having ever informed me there was even a banquet scheduled.

"Oh, we had an hour long call the other day about that. Didn't figure out needed to be in on it"

Congrats on taking that decision. I bet it felt empowering.

I'm very tempted to do the same, tomorrow morning possibly. I only stuck out my job for so long because it was fully remote before the pandemic and that was hard to find.

Now actually feels like a good time to switch with so many companies forced into remote working and stating they will stick with it.

What kind of things did you hate about your job? Did you face many questions about quitting with nothing lined up?

Sounds like you should do it ;)

Let us know how it went!

Go for it :)

R is a nasty nasty language for productionalizing things, honestly it's just too flexible and let's you do the craziest things.

But being so flexible makes it really expressive for doing ad-hoc analysis where you really don't know what you're looking for yet.

It’s not just the language/runtime though. It’s the entire ecosystem around that that’s required to productionize it in any modern sense of the word. It’s hard to get right even in Python. I mean Flask (even with restx) still doesn’t even generate Swagger 3 documentation.

It's a silly comparison, they're different products ultimately.

I often do a fair amount of exploratory data analysis in Excel, and then take it to a BI tool or some other process to actually formalize it.

In excel the ability to be sloppy is actually really nice to just sling together a few random models and call it good when I don't need to be precise.

How is this better than power query? I know this has a visulaization of the transformations, but that's on the roadmap for PQ.

Apart from the visual UI (which is a big deal, especially if you have lots of transforms): -wider range of input and output file formats supported (xls/xlsx, fixed width, json, xml, csv, tsv, yaml, html, markdown, vcard) -much faster -45 transforms to choose from -written from scratch for the purpose, rather than grafted on to an existing product -doesn't mangle your data like Excel does!

You have the card. Not a joke, that's really it
