That price seemed a bit too high to me and then I look around. I found many machines I could be happy with for around 2K but then I found The One : AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D processor review - Introduction[^]. That is a really, really nice machine. It has a mobile RTX 4090 for a GPU and probably the best mobile processor available. Sadly, it costs around $4K and with a really good monitor the total will be about $5K, possibly less depending on the monitor. I think I could live with a machine like that.
ETA: here's another review of it from a different site: The ASUS ROG Strix Scar 17 (2023) Laptop Review: Mobile Ryzen 9 7945HX3D with 3D V-Cache Impresses[^].

I'm glad I only have to do this once every 5 years or so, it takes a lot of time to choose wisely in tech. These things aren't cheap.

My brother has one of these. Has had it for years.
Super awesome, fits in his electrician's tool belt nicely. Nothing like drinking a cold one while working with electricity.

There's no way in hell I would try running on one of those things. If the two belts are running at even slightly different rates, you're going to tumble off the thing and break all kinds of interesting bones.

At the gross level, all mammals are topologically equivalent to toruses.

The handle looks like that of a screwdriver. It looks like they removed the metal shaft and put in its place the bottle opener end.

what are the programming languages best linked with data analysis?
|
|
|

I don't care for Python, but I have to admit you're right about it - it's what's for dinner when it comes to data analysis. So eat your vegetables.

Can it detect when a text value is parseable as a .net DateTime or SID? Or as an SQL datatype? And compare them as such?

Probably. I don't know. I don't use Python

You can probably find a library that does that for you.
(The Python version of "There is an app for that". The answer is the same, regardless of question.)

Not when one has an employer who won't allow downloading packages of any kind. Everything has to be vetted by teams which have no clue before it can be used. By which time it's obsolete of course.

That could significantly reduce the viability of some popular languages that thrive on the gazillion of freely available libraries.

Although I hate python because of it's lazy syntax (white space as part of language), I love it because of lybraries like numpy which allows you easily apply 'array'- operations over matrices and vectors

I always wish that questions like this was expanded with something like "and which specific qualities of the language makes it particularly well suited for my problem area?"
Or, turned around: "Which specific language qualities are essential to solve problems in [data analysis], and which languages offer these qualities?"
Even if the question is not phrased that way, I always wish that those who provide answers would pretend that it was, and answer accordingly.
