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/depend... ), see [PEP 723]

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 understanding that contention for the full resource is low

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 feature advantages associated with be

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 pipelines... if you're literally using a bash pipe i

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 driven design it could work... but you'd

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.

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://parser.zapier.com/ might be extra relevant.

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 include cases of benign neglect/inattention

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 (against backgrounds of white walls).

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 they become 'smart'? But, it's a fine

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.

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 using cookie cutter formulas. These can't protect

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-of-doubts-sur

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 he brought to the forefront remains intact and import

Except that the quote reflects a common misunderstanding. The problem of optimal stopping is mostly a function of decision making over multiple looks. A Bayesian approach that makes decisions over multiple looks has similar issues. This can

scale() for example uses attributes to hold on to the parameters used for scaling. Most packages that use attributes provide accessor functions so that the useR doesn't need to concern themselves with how the metadata are stored. I&#x2

Sounds like you aren't running your scripts as scripts. If you source a script or run it via Rscript it will halt when it hits a failure (unless you've changed a default). Copying and pasting in to the REPL will hide errors like

I think what you're saying is mostly on point. I wanted to share a couple possible balms for your bugbears. For attach metadata to an anything, why not use attributes()/attr() or the tidy equivs? Isn't that what it is for?

Have you ever worked with other major statistical packages? Have you ever caught people doing data munging in Excel? R fails far less silently than the credible alternatives. Source: I've been around the academic block and seen many
