Resources on best practices for professional projects (e.g. version control, virtual environments, debugging, documenting code)
Hi everybody,
I've recently finished my Master's and am currently applying for data scientist/analyst positions. During my studies, I have acquired a decent knowledge of different algorithms, data cleaning, visualization, evaluation, etc. However, I feel like I didn't learn a lot of the fundamentals around any projects. That is, how to properly document code, use virtual environments and version control, etc. Basically, anything that will make a project seem professional and easily usable by others.
Are you aware of any resources on such best practices? For example, a course dedicated to a bunch of them or individual resources to help me to get a better understanding of how to create a professional project.
I would appreciate any pointers! :)

Q Which statistical methods became obsolete in the last 10-20-30 years?
In your opinion, which statistical methods are not as popular as they used to be? Which methods are less and less used in the applied research papers published in the scientific journals? Which methods/topics that are still part of a typical academic statistical courses are of little value nowadays but are still taught due to inertia and refusal of lecturers to go outside the comfort zone?

Q Book suggestion for Spatial Statistics / Geostatistics
Hello everyone.
I am in desperate need of book suggestion for spatial statistics (I would say Geostatistics). Let me explain my situation: The books are either too easy, or too hard. I skimmed/studied at least 10 books so far and none of them works. For example, “Applied Geostatistics” by Isaaks and Srivastava is a very good book with good explanation, however, it is way too lightweight and only "talks about" concepts. On the other hand, "Geostatistics: Modeling Spatial Uncertainty" by Chiles and Delfiner has all the topics I want to study, but it starts to delve into crazy concepts even from Chapter 1, without explaining what is what in the first place. Some books talk about Variograms on Chapter 2, and some other books talk about them on Chapter 22 (literally, check Y.Z. Ma's book).
In essence, I need to learn about Variograms, Kriging and Simulations (I am OK with Unconditionals at the beginning). If I need to read a prerequisite book, I am also OK with that. If I need to take a prerequisite lecture, I am also OK with that. Please guide me dear Redditors. I have studied many topics in my life but none of them felt this arcane*.* It feels like I am trying to learn some occult. It is never explained clearly, it is available nowhere and it is always super-complicated or it is extremely dumbed-down to the point it is not what it is anymore. If there is a book, even 5000 pages long, that has the topics of Chiles&Delfiner, but the explanation of Isaaks & Srivastava, please tell me the name.

Anyone can take this survey, as all of the demographic questions are optional and most include an “other” option to be inclusive of options that I may have not thought of.

University of Georgia historian Claudio Saunt created an interactive map showing the decline of Indian/Native homelands from 1776 to 1887. Along with Slate's Rebecca Onion, he turned that map into a GIF, showing just how rapidly European-Americans took what amounted to over 1.5 billion acres:
