Are there any board games out there where you're trying to get the highest possible score in a single round, but the total score across the rounds doesn't actually matter?

Think like cars racing laps on a course. The only thing they're competing for is the fastest possible lap time out of multiple attempts.

I thought of the concept the other day and thought it might be intriguing strategically, since you have to figure out when to go "all-in" in a round that others are holding themselves back on. Surely there's a game out there that does this?

When I first moved to Austin, HOPE was one of my favorite spots to visit. The constantly changing artwork was always fun to see.

I know that their original location on Lamar was always supposed to be temporary until the land owner wanted to develop condos. Then they were supposed to move out to a big area near the airport.

That was over 5 years ago at this point and I haven't heard a peep of progress.

Their instagram is active. Their site is still live, but it no longer contains an address.

Does anyone know what happened? Are we ever getting a communal spot for street art?

Our team at Shipyard has been creating a lot of solution videos on YouTube recently to show teams how they can build A -> B solutions in a few minutes. We've been meaning to provide captions or transcripts for the backlog, but the overhead was either pretty high or too expensive.

We were able to test out Whisper in the span of a few hours and got a solution up and running to download the video from Youtube, spit out the transcription and upload the resulting transcription file externally. We're still missing a piece to upload directly to YouTube, but it's a start! Here's a video of the how we accomplished this!

I’ve spent a lot of time in the past building out mundane code to integrate data between different platforms. While it’s never difficult, it’s always a time-consuming task to learn the new packages, read through the documentation, and ultimately go through trial and error. I figured there had to be an easier way to help teams get integrations up and running quickly.

To try and combat this issue, our team at Shipyard built out over 50 CLIs into what we call “Blueprints” that we've open-sourced. Every Blueprint is designed to do exactly one action (ex. download data, upload data, execute query, send message), work directly with CSVs, and have minimal dependencies. To run the Blueprints loca

I'm excited (and nervous) to share a product I've been working on for the past few months to get feedback from this community. While I'm more of a heavy lurker, r/datascience has always been an excellent source of discovery and insights for Data Scientists both new and experienced.

I've seen a lot of frustrations when it comes to making Data Science effective in an organization. Issues like:

• Complicated tooling and configurations
• Lack of pipeline and data testing
• Lack of visibility into projects as they start to expand in complexity
• Being forced to wear hats for every step of the end-to-end data cycle
• Different data teams operating in silos
• Lack of access to required cloud r

In light of the recently released BGG site redesign, I've always kind of wondered why BGG continues to remain in the spotlight for the board game community, despite all its flaws. It has a wealth of features to try and support, but not everyone uses them all. In fact, I would wager that everyone uses the site for very different purposes. I'm really curious to hear how others in the community use the site and why it's important to them. I'm a data guy, so you'll see that reflected in some of my responses. :)

To make this a bit more structured, I'd love to know the following:

1. How do you primarily use BGG?
2. What features are on BGG that you don't care about or use?
3. What feature do y

Hey r/datascience community! I'm a longtime lurker, looking to chat 1 on 1 with some people to fully understand day-to-day workflows and struggles of those working in data heavy roles. If you're open to video chat and sharing your personal experience, please message me.

In my most recent role, I led up data teams for an advertising agency, but never really got to the point where we could start using more advanced Data Science techniques. A lot of the time was just spent trying to get the right data set up, cleaned, and ensuring that the process was uniform across multiple clients. A lot of articles online seem to touch on the same issue - that data prep is 50%+ of the work.

I'm looking to build my own PC for some high end gaming (1080p @ 60FPS, high or ultra graphics) and data-intensive processes (manipulating 5mm+ rows of data in Tableau, Python).

I want something that will last me a good 4 years and can be easily updated if needed, so from my understanding, going with a Skylake processor is the better bet here. I'll be running Windows 8 on this machine, and I already have a spare copy ready to install. I have a budget of ~$1000, which I know I'm already going slightly over, but if there's a way to trim some cost without sacrificing too much performance, I'd be ok with that.

From some of the recommendations I received from r/buildapcforme[1] and additional

I'm looking to build my own PC for some high end gaming (1080p @ 60FPS, high or ultra graphics) and data-intensive processes (manipulating 5mm+ rows of data in Tableau, Python). I'm completely new to this, and a little bit overwhelmed by the massive amounts of new Jargon I'm learning, so I want to make sure that the parts I'm buying are solid and will all be compatible.

I'm hoping to get something that will last me a good 4 years and can be easily updated if needed, so from my understanding, going with a Skylake processor is the better bet here. I also opted to only get a 500GB SSD since I uninstall my games after beating them, and I have never used more than 500GB of hard drive space. I'l

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

• I'm wanting to play more modern games (Witcher 3, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Guild Wars 2) with High settings, 1080p at 60 fps. As well, I'll be using the computer to manipulate large datasets using a mix of Tableau, Excel and Python.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

• I'd like things to total $1000 or less after shipping/taxes. The lower I can get this price with my specifications, the better.

**When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date wh

After years of collecting and playing board games, I've come to realize that my favorite part is actually learning new rules, experiencing new mechanics, and discovering new strategies. With the start of a new year, I'd love to have the opportunity to playtest more board games, but I'm not really sure how to get into doing that.

I'd love to hear what suggestions the r/boardgames community has for people who would like to playtest games more frequently. If it helps at all, I'm located in the DFW area.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I'd love to try out Aviate and I'd greatly appreciate anyone who takes the time to send me an invite!
