I use tqdm (with argparse) in a pyinstaller packaged exe. 5-stars - Its great! I call the exe from Java to do some ML and forward the tqdm progress and status messages to a Swing progress bar. It makes the user experience seamless. Depending on the task and the user's settings the tool usually takes about 7-8 seconds(including the PyInstaller extract) but it can also take up to a minute. When its 7-8 seconds the progress messages fly by and the tool feels snappy. When its 50-60 seconds the users are very grateful for the progress bar.
Meanwhile I can develop and test the tool from the command-line and see progress info and when I want to run the ML code in Jupyter notebooks the progress bars can still be made to work.
How would you go about reducing profits? If you add costs, the farmers will either pass them along to the purchaser or they will get out of the meat business. That means either higher prices (which should lower demand) or lower supply. In either case it looks like consumers eat less meat. I'm not trying to defend antibiotic usage. I'm curious what a reduced profit solution would look like, maybe I'm imagining it wrong.
I recently completed a Learn To Rank (with LightGBM) recommendation system at work and I agree. For how powerful the libraries are you would think there would be many more examples. Have you collected or posted your questions anywhere? I hit an error I didn't understand and posted questions on a related LightGBM issue and LightGBM devs responded with enough detail to at least get me unstuck.
Are you willing to put in a significant amount of work? Look into Georgia Tech's OMSCS program. Do some searches, read (or watch) some of the press coverage of the program. Its very affordable. But the program is not a gimme - you will have to do significant amounts of work. When you complete the program you will have the knowledge and credentials to pursue some of those cool jobs you see. Seems like the credentials matter less and less these days but for some people/jobs its still necessary. Make sure you do the work. You will only get out what you put in.
Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Reinforcement Learning, AI are all greatest hits/best of courses. You will learn amazing things and have very challenging assignments.
If you don't have a ton of free time you can take one class each quarter and finish in 3 years. You don't have to quit your well paying software job (at least I didn't). Have kids? wife? pets? volunteer work etc? Its still doable (I did it). Just plan ahead and don't leave things until the last minute.
My son is currently in the GA Tech Cybersecurity online Master degree program. Seems like a good program over all, very project oriented. I would say he spends 15-40 hours per project, and you have a new one every 2 to 3 weeks. Project are not for the faint of heart...
> Applicants who do not meet these criteria will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis; however, work experience will not take the place of an undergraduate degree.
> Georgia Tech requires that international applicants hold the equivalent of a U.S. four-year baccalaureate degree earned at a regionally accredited institution.
Just a few evenings? I spent entire weekends, sometimes all-nighters and even taking days off from work to finish big assignments. But I was working full-time with a significant commute and family responsibilities. Btw, I enjoyed every minute of it.
If the book isn't found at the library you are on I believe you do have to switch to other libraries until you find it. The most annoying part is when you are entering the title in the search box and it auto-completes the full title but then you issue the search and get back "No results".
If you've found the book but it isn't available you can search all your other cards by touching the two color card icon on the search result. It then searches for that book across your cards. Not an easily discoverable feature but its amazing when you find it. I only know about it b/c the app's ui choices didn't always make sense so I went through the tutorial hoping it explained something else.
EDIT: Unfortunately, it only works if you have actually/accidentally searched a library that _does_ have the book. So you still have to switch libraries manually, _until_ you have a lucky hit, _then_ you can check all other libraries with a button.

Amazing! I agree that this is not discoverable at all in the UI the last time I tried Libby.
