not adhering to the prompt guide is def a valid strong criticism. resampling i think less so for the demo just because fewer people look at k samples per model, so just taking literally the first one has the fewest of my own biases injected

I'll be posting some things to HN soon. My writing style is very accessible, to anyone. I always shoot for an "explain it to your grandmother"-level of writing. Also, my entire dissertation is Python/Cython/Jupyte

This is my field, too. I am a Ph.D. candidate in computational social science, working on a computational model of social belief systems. I'm quite happy to see this on HN. Like many other disciplines, our field is blossoming with the

Full quote, for context: Being conservative, let’s say it makes you 5% more productive. It's subjective. I'd like to see a before and after study, but empirically measuring code productivity is -- a hard problem.

I admit, 5% is a subjective prior / fudge-factor. But, statistical white-lies communicate a promise which extends the invitation: try it, see if you're more productive. I'd love to see some objective stats though!

Yes. The had-I-learned-it-first concept is something I didn't mention, but do think is important. And, often it works in an inhibiting way. With an IDEA-like rich IDEs -- which I think is a great tool, esp with VIM bindings! -- you get

Thanks! I put VIM in the title because 1) it's got a recognizable identity to pull in readers and, 2) I use VIM. But, in a weird and almost recursive way, editor wars are kinda like language wars. If it gets you that 5% (or more) boost
