It's a reference to a model of growth that in itself is a reference to the challenger disaster. Basically something like a "weakest link" theory of growth https://en.wikipedia.org/…

"depending on executive and blood alcohol level" is such a good throwaway joke

Folks who know Pulsar and Zed internals: which one of them is more likely to gain support for Atom packages? I find Hydrogen[1] invaluable as a data science scratchpad since it sup…

I like how programming language article/book title cliches are cross-pollinating now. In a decade, I hope we'll have "Bite size julia for morons who know how to stand on one leg an…

Caroline's dad is an MIT econ prof and wrote a series of books titled Hard Math for X. New installment should surely be Hard Math for Crypto Fraud and Jail Evasion.

Some speculated that prosecutors had gone soft on looting after the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. But it is hard to see any such trend in the data: generally states with mor…

Marty came across as a slimy prick in the (otherwise excellent) Noclip documentary about the making of Doom (2016). Turns out the real-life version is much worse.

TIL Luc Devroye has time to design and maintain fonts. Legend.

I pay for Inoreader and really like it. Somewhat ironically, its killer feature for my use case is the ability to ingest emailed content will make emailed content look like any oth…

Paul Romer on Mathematica is a good read. https://paulromer.net/jupyter-mathematica-and-the-future-of-...

This is cool + reminds me of [Konnakol]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konnakol ) , which is a similar system for time signatures in music. [Here]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=…

RIP. Hydrogen [ https://atom.io/packages/hydrogen ] running on Atom is the cleanest multi-lingual data science IDE in existence and has been my go-to for years. Haven't found a dro…

Shpongle and OTT are amazing goa-ish electronica. OTT's new album is great.

This might run counter to the super minimal setup, and feel free to ignore if so, but mathjax/katex support would be nice. I often have simple ideas that can be summarised in a cou…

Academic use: CVX[R/Py] are excellent because they plug into both open source and commercial (Gurobi, Mosek).

Powershell doesn't simply enter the chat. Powershell enters-its-username-and-password-and-hits-enter the chat. [I'm usually a fan of informative command names, but surely there's a…

I've been using a poor-man's version of this using a tab-to-window chrome extension for a while https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-to-windowpopup... seems like the deskt…

hard second. ggplot2 was the last (only) good package hadley ever wrote; the rest is more about reinventing the wheel and viral-marketing with hex-stickers than about getting work …

This is fantastic. What arguments should I pass ./cxxmatrix to get the mandelbrot set or game of life? Can't seem to get it to work / couldn't figure it out from the repo.

Agreed. Recent updates to rlang have made programming dplyr/ggplot2 functions a bit better, but it still feels super clunky. I use data.table for most things for programmability an…
