"Clochemerle-en-Beaujolais" is hilarious. Don't know if it has been translated.

"Android Karenina" is a two-in-one deal.

Hell, 10:1 would be okay and 1/10th of the price.

Amazon internalizes both the supply and demand of their behavioral data, rather than relying on external vendors. Apple transparency, GDPR, etc. are manhole covers coming from the sky on data vendors.

I've been writing Rust code that imports in Python with Pyo3 and Maturin.

That survey is potentially very biased -- 92% of professional developers are male?

People can also follow additive scores. This is what e.g. the DSM does.

A spreadsheet-like printed table where you mark items and sum scores in your head is probably easier to follow than a similarly-powered decision tree. Of course, you can't guarantee that a linear decision boundary exists, but in case there is one, the standard tools (Gauss-Markov/FWL theorems, p-values, etc.) are much, much more robust than CART or C4.5.

Say what you will about Jupyter notebooks and all that, but the talent pool for Python is still at a higher level. Then, this could be the worse-is-better equilibrium, but there's also a market-for-lemons situation regarding web dev these days.

Maybe that's a sign that theory research in physics has become iredeemably suspect?

The Swedish bank (not an OG Nobel prize, but effectively one of them) prize for economics pretty much alternates (A) sharing the prize between econometrics (ie. tooling) and empirical research and (B) awarding deep theory.

The Wikipedia process is still pretty good last time I checked?

There was a notability challenge in en.wikipedia on Olavo de Carvalho, a Steve Bannon type who wrote some philosophy books (like -- on Aristotle and Epicurus) as a younger man (and keeps getting his "philosopher" self-nomination challenged because he didn't go and get a college major in philosophy). I was for keeping the page, but on balance I think the process, arguments and result were fair -- even if almost certainly carrying some underlying political motivation.

We have to focus on the process. It's the only way to general axiology.

> Publishing a blog, for example, is pretty likely to be read by at least a small group of people.

No it isn't.

The key to enjoying Desktop Linux is giving up on the desktop environments that try to ape the Windows/Mac stuff and just biting the bullet to a tiling WM. It's a steeper onramp (e.g. you somehow have to know you need rofi to have an alt-tab window switcher) but it leads you to something different and better.

apt-get install nmtui # it's better

You can always export jupyter notebooks to straight .py files.

I understand the negative reactions now.

I was not really interested in the confidential content of depositions, but rather on whether they were inadequate for a child/teen to be transcribing. Boolean-valued question.

Polish grammar is very complex.

Ever come across something unsavory in those depositions?

My wife is actually five years older than me. But we met on a night club and made out before talking too much and it stuck. I think we developed a crush on each other in the ensuing daytime dates, came to admire each other and recognize common values. But we had kissed first and tested the chemistry.

People overthink dating and mating. We'd all probably be reasonably happy on arranged marriages. With apologies for the non-inclusive language of an old song, "woman needs man and man must have his mate, on that you can rely as time goes by".

I'll give you a bonus: the Louvain algorithm for community detection. Whatever ships with Networkx, Gephi, etc. doesn't work for my (correlation-derived, pruned with graphical lasso) networks, but the Louvain method (a greedy approximation to modularity maximization; the real math magic is in the concept of modularity and the configuration model) is awesome.

Feeling inadequate is integral to the cherchez-la-femme experience. But it's probably better to be humiliated in night clubs (where eg. women sometimes will pretend not to even see you) than in apps; ego defense mechanisms have less of a chance there. Also: actually kissing tells you a lot that detailed self-reported profiles will never do -- the "chemistry" thing is real, sometimes two people find someone cute and stylish but the kissing doesn't work.

I tied the knot in my early 30s, but friends who chose to remain free agents (even having had opportunities to marry someone great) report that the market thins out more and more as time goes by. And these are men, with easier access to a younger pool.

Many many summers and a thousand years ago, I went to a pdoc to complain of anxiety issues. I left (after a good hour+ of talking) with a bipolar 2 diagnosis. The diagnosis was correct: at low doses, lamotrigine/Lamictal behaves like an antidepressant (and you have to taper in slowly to prevent bad reactions) and I flipped the fuck out in euphoric mania. I shortly after went on lithium and never regretted it. I started having dreams that seemed to resolve my deeper "psychoanalytical" issues. It really fixed me up.

This has been like 15 years ago. The more I learn, the more it seems I was the textbook case doctors never expect to meet. People are not generally aware that dysphoric mania is a thing. A good diagnosis can change your life.

Wouldn't betwenness centrality be better?

Think of an army randomly moving through your citation graph; the more particularly nodes are trampled over, the more pagerank it has.

Now: if this army is informed about the shortest routes and instead moves about optimally, the most-trampled over places have higher betweenness centrality. I'd like my simulated citing scientist to be smart.

When I read "EDA" I think "exploratory data analysis".

My parents are classical musicians and always told this to me about going into the arts as a career. I even went briefly to film school, but backtracked because the career needed already-mature social skills to a level that I didn't develop for another 10 years. So I went STEMmish instead.

Now: I write because I can't not do it. I write to an audience of approximately zero readers, give or take fifty-ish a month. Even my Wordpress stats are way overstated as people probably just look at weird words and bounce -- I do long philosophical essays that very much depend on you having read my previous essays. I spend uncounted hours on it; I shirk from work and end up not looking for supplemental sources of income. Even with a baby, now that I barely have time to brush my teeth, whatever "me" time can be scraped is directed to my writing.

Sometimes I think I'm overtaken by delusions of grandeur, but surely I'd have been discouraged by now.

Hypothesis for Python.

Schemathesis builds on Hypothesis and generates tests from OpenAPI specs.

"Algebrically": in a way that shows extreme emotion. https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/vtAj

I live with other people and it's not always polite to ask them to dance around my meetings schedule.

I always close the lid on toilets before flushing. I don't want to be spraying toilet water on everything around it.

I'd feel more comfortable if you had done some kind of double-blind testing with ADHD/non-ADHD and Inflow versus Garbled Inflow (just a bunch of features but no magic dust). Doesn't need to be publication quality.
