DSB #101

Hi,

it’s Friday, and this time it means bulletin! From all the articles, I would recommend the github repository with answers on data science interview questions from category Education or lovely hate on Google cloud from category Computer Science & Science.

I would also like to welcome our new readers, not only for them, a few things:

  • you can send me an interesting link, I will consider it, and possibly include it in the next DSB
  • you can send me your personal email and I will send the DSB there, too (in hidden copy)
  • you can ask me to add some other people to the email list, but with their permission please (ask them first)
  • DSB is usually send every two weeks but there are and there will be exceptions
  • DSB does not (and can’t) serve to share any internal links or propaganda, since many former colleagues and even strangers are recipients

Thank you all!

And as always, enjoy your reading.
