Hello Bluesky, how are you?

This is brilliant! 👇

Day 5 of #30DayChartChallenge: Experimental — first time making a beeswarm! The big HR hitters get the attention, but the interesting story is the floor rising. Mean HR for a qualified batter: 12.4 in the 1980s → 17.1 in the 2020s. Everybody’s swinging for the fences. #rstats #dataviz

blaming the goalie on a 50/50 game that ended up by a breakaway (despite a FOW) in OT is poor analysis

all the hate Montembeault gets for yesterday’s game is crazy lol

Montreal Canadiens 5v5 on-ice xG results #GoHabsGo#NHL

Rasmus Andersson is having a great bounceback season, posing as a dangerous dual-threat on offence and good two-way skills in transition. Zach Whitecloud is a good defensive #4/5. More offensive time open for Parekh now, but there remains a logjam at D in Calgary. 📈 lb-hockey.com

New lb-hockey.com article comes out tomorrow, here's a sneak peek

If you have a discord for documentation or research, whether for software or whatever, please please put some effort into backing up info somewhere else. So many entire communities efforts will just implode if something happens to discord

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

i get it now

your very existence is troubling, enraging, and distracting as hell for some of the shittiest people on earth so no, i’m afraid you may not kill yourself rn

i wanna go back to school, but overseas

i feel like i am 75% done there are still some ugly minor annoying bugs to fix and probably additionnal scrapers to build (draft, transactions) im tired as hell lol

life is so sad when my fav teams lose

everyone on my timeline is glazing Xhekaj (i couldn't watch today's game)

more hockey data

as a french-born, seeing Texier finding success with the Canadiens makes me so happy

need more humanity in the world you cannot kill people just like that (especially as a public servant)

there are lots of dangers of self teaching yourself things.. it's good, but woah.. we miss on lots of fundamental things

habs played 8 games where their largest goal deficit was 3... they erased that deficit 5 times!!!!!

Twitter deployed a bot that can create CSAM and will likely face no consequences for doing so

happy new year i made MASSIVE improvements to the scraper maxtixador.github.io/scrapernhl/a...

Gonna promote my own thing here: open.substack.com/pub/puckover...

marty supreme is a masterpiece

‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science

Time and time again, the Calgary #Flames refuse to properly rebuild in fear of becoming the Buffalo Sabres. Newsflash, they already are the Buffalo Sabres.

A really nice intro to language models, with visualizations and links to other resources.

✨new scraper✨ I will write some docs, improve the scraper, etc. eventually ✨it notably includes an xG model i built (model gives lower xG values than most other models [can mean I am dumb lol], so expect lots of goals scored above expected) github.com/maxtixador/s...

i just successfully ran my first DAG it's a really simple one lol, but it's cool @airflow.apache.org

Man if we don't rediscover the idea of the common good soon, we're really not gonna make it

this one will probably take a month to write, but it's something that needs to be done
