I might be biased but I love wagtail mainly because of django, can't stand php insanity. I'm sure there are some good cms's written in Personal Home Page language, I just haven't seen any
You can pick up a Lenovo P1 Gen 2 with decent specs for about 1000 to 1500 on ebay. Max ram is 64MB and usually comes with an i7. The battery life isnt great if it has a built in Nvidia quadro card, I get about 4 hours. I bought it to be able to do ML with it. My only regret is getting one with the nvidia card built in. I believe it gets about 8 hours without it. I ended up buying a RTX 3080 Aorus Gaming Box to do ML instead via the laptops thunderbolt port. No matter what you get, if you want to do ML on it. I highly suggest just getting a laptop with at least a thunderbolt 3 port, and just skip on having an nvidia card built in.
Yah, unless you absolutely need the discreet GPU, avoid it like the plague on the P1s. Mine cannot be fully disabled in the BIOS/etc, and its required to drive external displays. With Linux its hit/miss whether the machine works properly with any given linux distro nouveau vs the proprietary driver setup.
I'm in the situation where neither driver works 100%, and I just wish the laptop was wired correctly to just use the integrated GPU for everything like my older thinkpad. (AKA nouveau suspends/resumes properly, but can't seem to drive my monitors consistently, while the nvidia driver refuses to resume properly and breaks secure boot, etc).
I did the opposite, collected a bunch of salaries for my experience level on levels.fyi, showed them to my boss, and asked for a raise. Got a 50K bump without having to do much. I'm only in the mid 200s TC mind you, but not bad for just looking up what I could be worth.
idk, for me dask was more of a pain to set up than a single node spark cluster, and now that databricks has added a fully compatible pandas api to pyspark, there is even less reason for me to use dask locally.
