Ask HN: Is it worth starting to learn Data Analytics?
I understand the value of continuously acquiring new skills, as they remain beneficial throughout one's career. However, I'm having an idea of transitioning to different role - Data Analytics.
It would be interesting to hear insights from professionals of this field. Is it worth it? Are you sensing that the AI will have an impact on the landscape of job opportunities within your field?
I work at a large company that uses Jira. I had a need to create an issue tracking system for a non-IT org with a large volume of repeatable, largely repeatable tasks with an easily defined workflow and the need to track various approvals and decision points.

“Perfect! I’ll reuse a tool we already have! Save everyone money, document and standardize our processes! It’ll be great!”

Nope. Our instance of Jira was set up for IT projects only and could not be set up for any other workflow. I tried to work around the administrative limits only to find a mess of tags and types and requirements that demonstrated that absolutely nobody had made any effort to adopt standard taxonomies even in the IT space.

It’s not a perfect tool, and there’s enough wrong with it that both the “dysfunction taints Jira” and “jira is inefficient” crowds can be right. But it really is a good enough tool that does not do nearly enough to encourage its good enough use.

> Consider the example of Physics Girl (I linked the video in another comment). The video shows her before COVID, and after COVID. It's obvious that her COVID infection did something to cause her to go from being an amateur astronaut to being bed-bound.

I didn't really make an argument to "not make sense". Right now, ME/CFS may just be a collection of symptoms rather than a specific _thing_ that can be tracked, measures and cured. Or it may be a specific infection. We don't know.

Sure, it's compelling. But the plural of anecdote isn't data. It may seem obvious, but so far we haven't found the biomarker yet and must surely keep an open mind that one may not exist.

I'm not saying we should stop looking, but that the thing we're looking for may not appear.
if your main argument is that the value tailwind is something you couldn't do with "style" or inline attributes you've missed the point entirely.

only thing worse than a comment made out of ignorance is one with that additional amount of hubris attached. this point somehow seems to always float to the top of every tailwind post. not surprising to see it as the top comment.

Ah! I remember seeing something about it on the usual suspects, DDJ and The C/C++ Users Journal.
If you want theory there’s this: https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.08361 (I haven’t actually read this but I know roughly what it’s about)

It’s saying that so far the abilities of an LLMs have scaled up with its parameter count and training data size. Of course there’s no way to be sure without actually training larger models but I don’t see why the point where it stops would be just after our current best LLMs. Many properties have already emerged from making it bigger so I don’t see why this would be the exception

Well for example if you have a style on anchors on a site. If you update the general style (even it its in a class) you have to worry about everywhere that thing is used and whether it will break it. They are all completely coupled.

I mean there are techniques to avoid that like BEM and co, but they rely on you and your colleagues following them, and in my experience are a huge ballache.

Its also sometimes hard to track styling issues down, looking through all of the properties etc. And if you get into SCSS and mixins it slowly gets out of control.

On the flip site with Tailwind, it's all there in front if you and easy to change. If you need to repeat something often, you can just create components / partials with reusable parts.
> No one would seek to copy a mechanic from TotK.

I wouldn't be too sure... Plenty of copycats around, that will even copy the less than ideal bits of the game, because it's still part of the overall experience.

Example: Soulslike games don't have a map or quest markers. It would be a good quality of life addition, but pretty much none of the Soulslike clones add quest markers.
I find it frustrating that web development moved away from encouraging developers to use a collection of consistent visual styles and basic components (like Bootstrap offered - and even Bootstrap itself is moving towards being a collection of utility classes).

It's very frustrating to have to make a lot of decisions around standard component styling on each new project.

Yes, except a) public funds are zero sum. Every dollar we spent on building DACs is a dollar we don’t spend on building green energy. See [0], the coal line is going down, but it’s mostly being replace by natural gas. An improvement to be sure, but not enough. The renewable line could be much higher with more public funding. 1.2bn builds a lot of solar/wind/hydro…

And b) again it’s easier to “remove” CO2 from the atmosphere by not putting it there in the first place.

By the way, spending public money on DAC (rather than fining the fossil fuel companies and requiring them to build them) is allowing the fossil fuel companies to push the costs of cleaning up their mess onto the public the while privatizing the profit.

This is where I wish we still have upvote numbers on HN. How many people agree with you vs parent and grandparent comment?

I've been doing web dev since I was a kid in mid 2000's and I think tailwind is phenomenal in enforcing style, portability, speed, etc. I recently started to writing a single .html file proof of concept for something and it was shocking how poor the experience is of `style="..."` is in comparison, or making up classes as you go.
I don't get it.

You did write in your blog post:

>Reaching peak hype doesn’t mean that the potential of generative AI isn’t real.

But I am failing to see any particularly convincing proof of the reality of it, besides the steep initial adoption curve (that is obviously connected to the current hype), it seems to me like a sort of circular reference.

>> It's because the people who make the website aren't the people who manage the billing which a labyrinthine black box of custom hand-rolled rules. That poor customer service rep has no idea.

The customer service rep isnt supposed to have an idea. Neither is the mailman delivering your telco bill, nor the guy stuffing your telco bill into an envelope -- that is a strawman argument.

>> "billing which a labyrinthine black box of custom hand-rolled rules"

yep, and as I mentioned, the labyrinth magically becomes available to the company during billing, but is somehow "unavailable" a month before when you're signing a binding 2yr agreement. Lets all be honest - it is intentional, because telcos dont want to show customers the prices they are about to pay, they just want to show customers the 3mo promo price w/o tax, w/o regulatory recovery fees, etc.

> Modern CSV is a great tool for keyboard ninjas
> Suppose you want to move a column. Just select any cell in that column and hit ctrl+alt+left/right

Keyboard ninjas would prefer to have a modal editing option where instead of this abomination of a shortcut you could have much shorter sequences (as an illustration):

C,L for left

C,; for right

with an option to make L/; sticky (repeatable movements without having to press C again) or be able to hold C and just press L/; to move

(by the way, sequences cmd+A,B can't be used since they're overriden by cmd+A but it should invoke cmd+a only after some timeout when you haven't pressed B

also scrolling on a Mac is broken, and in general would be nice to limit scrolling off-screen to some # of rows/columns, it doesn't make sense to be able to scroll into an empty infinity)

Yes, the only thing it does is makes writing styles slightly faster and stops you having to name every different component
Could you explain the performance problem ? I understand how you could get to the other claims, even if i disagree.

But i sincerely do not understand the performance one. If anything tailwind approach is mostly really good for performance, as rendering utility class directly on the element is still the fastest, by far, technique.

The only slight call here could be shadow dom scoped but that necessitate declarative shadow dom and create a lot of problem for performance until we get a fetch maps equivalent to import maps.

This seems expensive but it an out of production vehicle with a unique fuel source and not really supported.

He bought the car in 2015 so he’s lucky to get 8 years. Especially since Hyundai only provided a 5-year warranty. That seems pretty crazy to spend US$100k on a vehicle with a new technology.

When the Prius first came out they offered an 8 year warranty (or maybe 12) on the hybrid system. And that’s more familiar to mechanics than this fuel cell tech.

Tl:dr; don’t do stuff like this unless you’re ready to lose all your money. The owner got 8 years of utility out of the vehicle.

No, React is HTML in JS.
Cool hot-take but it’s not true. You’re literally learning CSS when you learn tailwind. And no one (good) picks up a tool solely because it’s shiny, they pick it up because they find it has utility, which evidently LOTS of people do.

And if you don’t think it’s reusable then you at least need to bring an argument for why that’s so because the docs, personal anecdote, and the opinion of LOTS of people is completely opposite.

So:
- You ARE learning CSS, you’re just putting it where it belongs: on the element it affects
- It’s modernity doesn’t matter at all
- It’s literally as reusable as raw CSS

I can’t downvote you, but you’re definitely wrong.
No and it is not on anyone roadmap. So far we have not had anyone that found a way to make it work well.
No worries, thanks for your input!
Humans are the worst.
Because behavior is often more predictable than we like to admit. Especially on the stance of freedom of expression. There are books full of content.
Tailwind 1.0 was great. Give me a few utility classes to style borders, fonts, backgrounds, and box shadows. Tailwind has descended into madness as they endlessly increase the scope.
Speaking from my personal position, I spend most of my time writing software and firmware for a product that we designed to satisfy our internal needs and which we have now developed a product. This is in a deeply domain specific area. I make decisions daily that have quite far reaching UX/UI consequences and even with about as deep a knowledge of the user domain as its possible to have (or perhaps because of that), I agonise over those decisions. I pity anyone trying to work on this kind of software without that direct first hand domain specific knowledge. You either implement the spec as-is, filling in the gaps by guessing or you get super stressed by the lack of insight - neither is a good place to be.

Probably the solution is to have the developers get as deep an insight as possible into the problem area they are trying to solve, and work very closely with users at every stage.
It definitely was not post hoc rationalization. Anyone doing Unix or open source development - not as dominant then but still big - had been faced with paying huge sums for a proprietary box with increasingly uncompetitive hardware or dealing with desktop Linux’s driver and stability challenges (I did that for years).

When OS X came out, you could buy basically for the first time a good, lightweight but powerful laptop which would run most of your favorite Unix code as well as Office, Photoshop, etc. and had 5-6 hours of battery life because you didn’t have to disable power saving to avoid kernel panics. That wasn’t perfect, of course, but a ton of early web stalwarts like Perl, PHP, MySQL ran better than on Windows with decent fidelity for anyone deploying on Linux or Solaris.

I bought Apple stock starting around 2001 when I noticed that in addition to traditional markets like design, I was going to hackathons or conferences like USENIX and seeing half the attendees with titanium PowerBooks. It’s hard to imagine now but at the time that was pretty speculative since their finances were still lean in the pre-iPod era (if I’d been willing to make a bigger gamble I’d probably be writing this from a yacht).

HN is a forum, but also a valuable information resource. If it were easy to delete your historical comments, a lot of that information would be lost. If you make a contribution to a Wikipedia page, do you expect to be able to delete it?

It takes the more Rails-like approach where you run a mix command to generate a migration (and that potentially writes out an elixir module with the Ecto schema, eg, when defining a whole new table) rather than Django's approach of updating your `models.py` and then having `manage.py makemigrations` introspect the DB and generate the migration code from that. I do slightly prefer Django's approach, but it's an easy adjustment to make.

On the other side, `mix ecto.migrate` essentially works the same as `manage.py migrate` for bringing your database in line with the set of migrations in your code.

Ah, I see what you're saying.

I think a more logical approach (for me) would be to say that there might be multiple biomarkers which could present ME/CFS type symptoms in different ways.

Dr. Bhupesh Prusty has recently given some lectures on his discoveries related to Fibernectin, for example. That could be a massive breakthrough, but we need more studies on it.

One other data point that might interest you: apparently a large percentage of ME/CFS patients are finding relief through valtrex. Apparently there is some relation to the herpes virus, although nobody understands how or why.
had no idea this was algorithmic, figured it was a team of mods searching for the stuff
But you really don't have to do that. Naming components only (as you already are) really is sufficient. And yes, specificity and flexibility can easily be managed/included with CSS, particularly now, with all the new widely supported features/selectors.

These solutions to an old "problem" are lighter, simpler and easier to maintain in the long run.

If you're curious, I'll be pleased to give you more concrete examples!
Yes, but that's used by COLOR package, whose interfaces are IIRC mostly available on X11 client as well (minus acceleration).

The TV package in the full was redirected only on MacIvory, not on Unix-based setups, notes from OpenGenera suggest that the plan was to fix the application packages to use new interfaces instead.
If you've decided to switch, then sure, you'll need to spend some time learning new things.

Keep in mind that most analytics roles are a move down from most software developer jobs in terms of technical skills required, salary, prestige, job satisfaction. The last part is obviously my personal opinion - my background is in data science and early on in my career I could leaned more towards analytics or more towards software engineering and I very quickly figured out that I strongly prefer the engineering jobs (whether it's ML engineering, or even non-data science- or ML-related software development). Right now I'm data scientist in title, with an MLE job description and responsibilites, and I'd be happy to do either MLE or backend development in my next job. Analytics and data engineering are positions that I actively avoid. But again, that's just me, plenty of people like these roles.
Isn't this sort of the theory behind scrum - having rapid feedback loops with the product owner that is (supposedly) the one that has the deep necessary insight into the problem?
Or your marketing might not have been the best possibly, or people didn't spend enough time with alternative approaches to appreciate their downsides and why hypermedia based solutions could be better.

Probably not a solution, but many people have reported benefits from fasting, which increases cellular autophagy which degrades disfunctional cell parts - and might play a role in programmed cell death, though the relationship is not clear.
Me: Taylor Swift’s song are bland, run-of-the-mill pop.
Swifties: Pfff *plonk gajillions for the tickets.

In cases like this I get curious and try to understand: why? I do not do CSS enough to arrive at the verdict about Tailwind, but my best understanding aligns pretty well with TFA. That and the fact that people wanted some framework that is popular and can be easily reused for results that look reasonably well. Bootstrap was it for a while, but Tailwind came and looked more modern.

Taylor Swift - still beats me.
It was underpowered for its price compared to windows machines.

The fact that it could run Quake3 is kind of the point as it didn’t need “all that power.”

The complaint I had was that for the price I could get a more powerful wintel box.

Comically this is no longer true with mac laptops and it’s kind of weird to see it flipped where MacBooks have powerful processors and decent levels of ram (although sticking with 8gb in the air seems like they are just sticking to the principle that you don’t need lots of ram rather than saving the $9 for 16 or 32).

I would be tremendously surprised if this were not possible. I have seen many programs at various doctors’ offices and all of them could do this.
