I didn't see it in the comments, but FWIW you can choose specific dependencies. You can use regular [dependency specifiers]( https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/d…

Re: b. This is a place where remote standard dev environments are a boon. I'm not going to give each dev a terabyte of RAM, but a terabyte to share with a reservation mechanism und…

I wonder if anybody has used PostgREST ( https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v12/ ) and explored this could provide a comparison. They seem largely similar with PostgREST having some fea…

We need a to-do app following these principles... then another for product management.

R is the better EDA language by far. Python has caught up a lot. Notebook diffs are now readable in git with the right tooling, that's huge. The drum about not fitting into data pi…

Out of context (and with limited knowledge) comment 3 seems terrifying.

Relax, don't do it. When you want this, you're turning the relations in postgres into a contract. No service gets to persist internal state. If you're _really_ committed to domain …

Effect size g is in units relative to variation. It's a corrected version of Cohen's d for cases of unequal variance between groups.

Right on the linked page is commentary about how the title is misleading. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-62398-w

I expect the emails themselves are just formatted strings. You could use an email parser to get the structure back out. You or someone else mentioned Zapier webhooks, so https://pa…

I wonder if import taxation that reflects externalities (pollution) and costs that we carry to reduce suffering (child labor, minimum wage) would make a difference.

When Google got into self driving cars that was a thought some people had in earnest. Self-driving means a lot more time your eyes can be on ads.

There is also the question of what constitutes 'racist'. In earlier times the threshold/definition included malicious intent. In 2020 more people, myself included, are prone to inc…

Yeah. It kind of is. If we trained as much for black faces as white faces, the algorithms would be better. Moreover, the background contrast for white faces is frequently worse (ag…

People in other professions have similar issues. Some 'smart' folks feel as if they should be able to understand everything. It probably often works for them, after all, how did th…

What technology in what language are you comparing them against?

Are you trolling right now? R's idioms for parallelism are pretty darn straightforward and easy to use. Effective too.

Effectively. These days you can use a Python kennel in notebooks and get syntax highlighting, but not much else. Python and SQL are supported but second class use cases.

One thing your rods (lower light receptor cells that are more dominant 1deg+ off the exact area of gaze) have peak sensitivity at the 'green' range of the spectrum. So, green will …

In short, not entirely. Bayes' theorem helps when you have a correct model. People don't have access to truth or correct models. Generally people applying Bayesian methods are usin…

For what it is worth, priming isn't really K's work. System 1 and System 2 isn't even unique to him. See also, httpp://www.decisionsciencenews.com/2012/10/05/kahneman-on-the-storm-…

It isn't because he is not. One line of research he endorsed, priming, has failed to stand up to rigorous attempts at replication. Nearly every other aspect of behavioral economics…
