"Sorry To Bother You" wasn't supposed to be an instruction manual


Is there a specific listing for Dashboard Engineer?


> do you know where I can buy them

Good luck


Impossible. They're perfectionists.


> I think the development of Python and Jupyter and other less known things like Vega are much more interesting.

In that case you may be interested in Dash (dash.plot.ly). It’s a free and open source library that you can use to create dashboards online with Python only.


We love Dash on our team, anything more than a Tableau dashboard goes into Dash. You can basically just treat it as a Flask app.

We write our back ends with FastAPI[1], which is usually just a wrapper around our ML models. Then serve both Dash and FastAPI with gunicorn. The backend is provided the uvicorn[2] worker class with the gunicorn -k arg[3] to greatly increase the speed as well.

For personal projects you can use this stack in GCP's AppEngine standard environment to basically host your (relatively low traffic) apps for free.

Another +1 for Dash!


+1 for Dash. It's very good.


plotly aint exactly free, you get 25ish free plot and then you gotta pay.


That's not totally accurate... If you use our SaaS Chart Studio product then yes, but otherwise (i.e. in 'offline' mode) you can use our Python, R and Javascript libraries as much as you like: they're MIT licensed.


PS: and Dash, which is what the GP was talking about, is totally free and unrelated to Chart Studio :)


I'd like to add that Dash helped me grok React far quicker than I'd expected. I code in a lot of React now and I'm only here because of Dash. Thank you for your hard work!


Wow, people really do just read headlines nowadays...


I use the aptly-named "innocuous Chrome extension"


I've paid for the digital subscription for 15 years. What's the aversion to more people paying? Perhaps the price would go down.


I took advantage of the Post and NYT's price reduction. Paying something like $10-$15 a month is pretty much a no-brainer. But at $30, I don't know if I'd read it enough to justify the cost.


I am on my third month as a paying subscriber, and it is worth it to me. I am lower-middle class, so my budget is pretty tight. I wouldn't mind a discount!


Because if it's important, I'll hear about it somewhere else. And if it's interesting, I can find other articles. Content is a dime a dozen these days, why would I pay for it?


When I pay, it is out of a sense of civic duty. Democracy requires journalism and journalism requires money.


Because good content is not a dime a dozen and most content is regurgitated content from real sites/journalists that do the work.


I pay for the WSJ. They write quality articles and I like to know that I'm helping their staff put food on the table.


Classic tragedy of the commons.


A failed concept (though in that specific case it might be on point)


Because if you're not paying for it, someone else is paying for it to be shown to you.


You can pay for for it and still be served what someone else is paying for you to see.


> Perhaps the price would go down

highly unlikely unless there is competition and if there is competition, you'd now have to pay two outlets to sustain the competition. There might be more valid factors to bring the price down, but this is the first I could think of.


Presumably Murdoch, for one.


Because I don't want to pay for any kind of media that is owned by News Corp.


You presumably don't want to read it either then?


They've changed their business model in the last 7-8 years to be online friendly and it's been largely a success. Might have something to do with it, might not. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/13/business/media/13atlantic.... If you're looking for the old Atlantic, a lot of their archived material is right alongside current stuff, in "Also see...". For example, "Sex and the College Girl" (1957) was recommended after I read Kate Bolick's famous "All the Single Ladies" piece (2011). Kind of interesting to have that juxtaposition.


What NYT piece are you referring to?



I saw one person who claims to have cancelled their subscription. The rest of the embedded tweets are either threatening to cancel or justifying "why they cancelled" (before the op-ed). Makes you wonder who these furiously cancelling people are and whether Business Insider bothered to reach them for comment.


That's very entertaining. I wonder what other sort of guest editorial could prompt such a reaction? Probably not the best business move for NYT, to further explore that question...
