Macs are much better for actual development work. Find a supportive MD and put in the request.

I always approve requests of my people for Macs or Windows Dev machines. The answer I always get is some version of "familiarity". I don't care, just wondering. I'd rather hVe people happy and comfortable and the cost is insignificant.

If you want a Mac you have to put in a certain request first. Search the portal for Mac program or Mac request

The portal

What do you prefer for machine learning?

Yeah the default normally is a dell or Lenovo. You’re gonna need to get permission from a MD and WBS to get a MAC.

OP, You can get to the portal once you have your Username and Password.

Why do you prefer the Mac? The UI, or are you actually doing deep ML on your laptop? I'm not trying to change your mind, just seeking to understand. Do you put real client data sets on your machine?

I ask because my teams use cloud almost exclusively. Most of the client data sets are 50GB to well over 2TB.

Yes exactly homebrew is way easier to manage everything and the shortcuts in mac are quite handy for me, everything is in control in mac and linux based machine I am used to it tbh windows is pain, as I can see everything is done in cloud but as a programmer there’s always something running in local machine to check logics and mac gives it handy with all the particulars explained by the comment above

I’m a SPED teacher, & my principals ALWAYS seem to visit my room as soon as I give my student(s) a break from their work or when they’ve finished early everything I had planned. They RARELY come in when I’m actually in the middle of making progress on a lesson. It makes me feel like I have to be defensive & justify why the students aren’t working. Does this happen to anyone else?

El Primero savants, what do you think of this one? I like that it has the vintage style chrono seconds hand and the general retro handset and font. and I love that it uses the 400 movement which has the yellow gears which just looks so much better to me than the 3600. But it’s online only so no AD discount, and not sure it’s worth the premium over the new Original line. I think I also prefer having the grey sub dials, although I love the story behind this one. What are your thoughts?

Hi, can anyone share some information on how final stage interviews (for a senior consultant role) with a senior director/partner usually go? I was told it was a ‘confirmatory call’ - are they usually a full structure interview or more of an informal chat to make sure you would fit at the organisation?
