so an orange team gets demoted from the prem but another orange team gets promoted from the championship? is this balance?

This is an odd thing to see in my very working class, run down area. #databs

How do we upheave the 5th circuit? It's been the main instrument for dismantling our rights.

I passed the milestone of my birdnet-pi ID'ing over 250k calls since November 2024. It's fun to see that we're probably right on the cusp of another explosion of migrants.

this feels HUGE!

ok, i vibecoded the thing github.com/ryanscharf/m.... this is a good testament by how much 'R in production' code is often about everything other than R #rstats

when looking for a #rstats mirai docker container, i wasn't expecting to find out that some botnet malware uses the same name

#wosoc fans, what kind of stuff do you like to see? What is #gainbridgesuperleague not giving you? What's your favorite stat to shitpost about? Feed me requests and I can see what I can make happen. #usl #usls #sportsanalytics #sickos

I'd like to get into to some of the details on how I productionalized this pipeline since this is one of the areas of #rstats and #datascience that you don't really get formal education on. I have a TrueNAS server that hosts docker containers to handle my infrastructure.

we're now live with the first public iteration! usls-modeling.ryanscharf.com

here's a tiny preview of some of the stats i've stood up so far. i have a lot of figuring out to do on how to get my db exposed and then themeing everything up to look right

"try connect cloud!", @libbyheeren.bsky.social says. "deployment is so easy! positron makes the manifest for you", she says

Going into the final 9ish games of the #uslsuperleague, here's where we stand with playoff odds as determined by 1 million season simulations. Come at me with your hot takes and trash talk me beloved Sun being garbage this year. #USLS #gainbridgesuperleague #woso #USL #sportsanalytics #databs

Has anyone asked Claude Code to bring the oil through the Strait of Hormuz

The new eBay meta of opening a product in a tab and then waiting for discounts to come in on their own is pretty weird.

seeing a team consisting of brad marchand, tom wilson, and sam bennett losing is so satisfying

Excel continues its grand tradition of giving you ever more rope to hang yourself with… Ditto what this guy said 👇

Wow, this is spectacular! Evolution of beak size in an urban population of juncos in response to the loss of supplementary food (bird feeders) during the COVID pandemic, and subsequent regression. Is the UCLA campus the new Daphne Major? pnas.org/doi/full/10....

I always told myself I'd be at the Lightning's first outdoor game, but for the cost of one ticket, I could get entire season tickets to the Sun or Rowdies. I've gone from being a Lightning sicko to a Sun sicko just due to the cost of entry to events.

Psssst. That data thing you're trying to do? @Posit.co Connect probably does it. #dataBS

@libbyheeren.bsky.social is always telling us to work out loud so I'm going to spin up a thread about the soccer analysis work I've been poking around at. I'm a big supporter of the USL Super League / Gainbridge Super League and have been messing around with modeling playoff probabilities.

Me, a python newbie! :(

in 2012, you could get your halloween burrito at chipotle for $2. now that same 'deal' is for a $6 burrito, which is nearly what the menu price for a chicken burrito was back in 2012.

the hardest #positron / vscode-style-shortcut for me to remember, so far, has been ctrl +k, c to comment/uncomment blocks of code #databs #rstats

{fs} is one of those extremely dope R packages that I always forget about. the OS specific file path management functions are 👌
