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/wiki/O-ring_theory_of_ec

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 supports python/r/julia/etc under a common inter

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 and can read perl"

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 more shoplifting prosecute more shoplifters The claim is abou

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.

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 other RSS feed, since lots of scientific journals / sites

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 drop-in replacement elsewhere [vscode

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 couple of lines of math that could really benefit from a l

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 and speed reasons. As much as I like ggplot2, I find the

They recently implemented a pretty restrictive freemium subscription model that has tempered my enthusiasm for it massively. 50 snips a month is nothing for grad students.

Thanks; been meaning to. I've not seen a good exposition of what benefit the DAG way of doing Causal Inference has over the Potential Outcomes Framework. Morgan and Winship (another good textbook) tries, but I didn't really buy it
