This move against TikTok predates the Hamas attacks and Israel's military action. It's insane that TikTok's ban is because teens are more likely to be pro-palestine.
All of my lab's data is available on public GitHub repos. My Chinese student doesn't have a leg up on anyone with an internet connection. It's insane to discriminate like that. I can sort of see issues with DoD funded work, but basic science?
A good chunk of the Midwest would be wiped out if the dams along the Missouri failed in sequence. There's a ridiculous amount of water there.
Not the person you replied to, but I definitely had emotional outbursts but was the top student in my class. I was diagnosed as ADHD in graduate school, at the age of 23. Meds were life-changing for me - I not only had classic ADHD, so I had study patterns to unlearn (studying with music + TV + snacks + distractions) but I also had Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria - basically, I would hyper-focus on any perceived critical comment, rejection, slight, etc. I would contemplate whether I could ever show up in class again after a side comment from a teacher. It took so long to unlearn that (and some antianxiety meds as well). If your kid actually has ADHD, the best thing you can do for them is have them work with a therapist to learn coping skills and the proper way to do things. Meds may enter the picture eventually, but a therapist that works with ADHD and autistic people primarily will be the most helpful. Little things - fidget toys that help you pay attention to auditory stimuli, weighted lap blankets to work at your desk, etc. help so much sometimes, and they're relatively simple fixes, but if you don't know to look for the issue, you don't find a solution.
Columbia station load follows within a certain range set by nearby hydro. It can be done. The economics aren't even that bad, as fuel is one of the cheaper inputs to the reactor.
And, in a rural, agrarian society, not educated or up to date on recent events enough to vote in an informed way. Paternalistic, sure, but not completely unreasonable given the era.
My dishes fucking sparkle, and that’s because I rinse them clean.
This is how I can tell you live in an area that doesn't have hard water. Water spots all over my dishes, even though I rinse them... sometimes because I rinse them.
Ah ok, I missed the joke, but then, both my husband and I have binary socks, and I have GitHub socks as well, so... I am the joke, I guess? :)
Travis used to be brutal about this. Email headlines that were like "Still failing...", one piled up after another when you were trying to tweak the CI process.
I like to keep my work-related communities separate from my hobby-related communities. So Python/R/Data/Academia communities would be grouped under "work", and Gardening/Bread/Crochet/3D printing would be "hobbies", and then I might want a news group where I can see politics, local news, US news, world news, tech news, etc.
This would be really helpful to me for reducing distractions when I'm actually trying to get information about what's going on in the (real) world or in my specific corner of the programming world.
NIST has abandoned them
Would that my IT department had gotten the memo. They think NIST is god-tier, even when our own CS department is like... yeah, no. And personally, having worked with NIST researchers in fields that aren't IT policy, I wonder how good their IT policy docs really are. The whole organization is bureaucracy getting in the way of good science and common sense.
Start with the sl command, and you can do it now 😁
Beehaw is only defederated from two instances iirc, so most of us are still able to see and interact with them.
Yeah, coming from nuclear, all of the buzzwords make sense. Ofc, nuclear has decided blindly trusting windows for everything is cyber security so... 😂😭
I miss legal advice and bola so much. Always good for some popcorn and learning something.
Lemon seeds contain pectin, this is just a natural way to extract it. You can get the same effect from using pectin instead of gelatine in your jam.
Cookbook: Polars for R
A side-by-side comparison of polars, R base, dplyr and data.table packages.
Pola.rs is a Python package to interface with a Rust library, but it's evidently coming to R as well.
As I understand it, Polars is an alternative to wrangling libraries like data.table and dplyr. This book compares the syntax of the 3 libraries.
Introduce yourself!
In the interests of making this community home for those of us who are reddit refugees, let's go ahead and introduce ourselves.
Some suggested things to comment on/include in your introduction:
- Tidyverse, base, or data.table?
- Are you primarily a user, a developer, or in between?
- How long have you been using R?
- What other languages do you use?
- What do you use R for? Statistics? generative art? data wrangling?
- Are you using R primarily for work, fun, hobbies, or something else?
- Are you a hex sticker collector? Why or why not?
- Where are you on the data engineering <----> pure statistics continuum?
- What's your favorite obscure package?
Textbook: Statistical Computing using R and Python
Here's the textbook I use for my classes in R and Python (used to be R and SAS, and I couldn't just drop SAS without adding something else, so now I teach students both). Hoping it's helpful to anyone who is trying to learn R.
