Anecdotal, and old now: I worked with an ex-NSA agent when I worked at a big bank who worked out of a some of middle east offices in early 2000s. He talked about how new agents oft…

I'm not far into it, so I don't know how good it will be. However FX's 'Class of 2009' seems interesting too where FBI agents have AI strapped to them feeding the dataset at all ti…

Having to ask people be kind about your code on HN is such a shame of reality to me. Half of brilliance is having your working version, used by many people. You had working code th…

I know it's my own niche case, but with apple silicone I have more issues with external monitors than I've ever had in my entire life. I run my own business and I've always liked M…

The fear of language model AI takes me back to my original fear when I joined a data science team at a huge bank with just a bachelor's degree and five years of experience. I was e…

Personal response to this, despite owning a home, is that there always seems to be some reason the media/news stories are making the home market sound shaky when they're actually t…

I live in the midwest and own a non-tesla EV, and the minute you get out of any kind of bigger cities your chances of finding a level 3 are quite sparse. There are a LOT of chargep…

Really interesting point but I know I've gotten older when he said 'my audience is middle-aged' but the way I read the chart from google is that most of his audience is between 21-…

Hulu is one, if you need an example.

This is an analysis should probably be read while listening to Dave Matthews Band Ants Marching. Really cool analysis and fun to see it written in R. Jerr Thorpe had an app that ga…

I'm not a doctor, but as a family member and extended family member, I know that many bipolar children appear with ADHD in their early years and are treated with ADHD medication. T…

I don't know why I never looked into it more but this comment caught me off guard. I always wondered what hotline was because a friend of mine in high school's dad was a bartender …

In 2008, I graduated at the same time as this guy, and I had two film grad friends who felt EXACTLY the same way. One started as a wire guy in television and worked his way up to a…

Why would only having been with three people change how much sex you have had?

If journalism is similar to art, this seems obvious. When we consider the many classical periods of art, we see that the majority of the artists lived in the same location, knew ea…

dtplyr is an option as well which lets you use tidyverse syntax with data.table backend. Speed and syntax. If you learned data.table however, it's better to just stay in data.table…

My wife has a doctorate in occupational therapy and works as a hand therapist, when pay is the only metric looked at you really do miss a lot. The body condition of construction wo…

Or even continually change it. So even if you agreed with original terms, to continue using it you have to keep accepting the changes.

When I worked for a major financial institution in a data science / analytic group there were a lot of very, very smart math types who couldn't code. They'd ask how I'd gotten my c…
