I hate when this context loss happens

feed/fed/food. we need more ablauts. they’re fun

slay the spire relic that makes you remove a card after defeating an elite (thinking of how good trading card was from balatro)

pretty ahead of the curve for 1992 tbh open.spotify.com/track/6ZIjne...

i don't understand how people go through the world having interactions like this. 1: you're wrong i have old info 2: this is new info 1: well i still think you're wrong

there’s a comment here that’s just the word “slipdot” and I like that youtu.be/91QWp6Ygx7c?...

I don’t like the necrobinder in slay the spire 2 because to compute health loss from an attack, you have to read your block (left), osty’s health (right), and your health (left). too many eye movements

Nothing I hate more than a plumbing project and nothing wants to turn and you’re in this horrible contorted position

I like that we have popular weird bands and that we can joke about their weirdness and have fun about it (geese, angine de poitrine)

I'm kind of loving the idea of a centrifugal process that sharpens group differences competing with a shrinkage process that drags them back towards each other. Social theory as classical mechanics.

Bluesky still never beating the allegations.

people who write columns about word choices are unserious people

fir a growth curve model yesterday with a mix of 2-10 year olds and adults that basically was: score ~ 1 + is_child + is_child:splines(age_months) where is_child is a 0/1 indicator variable. I like the elegance of turning on age as a variable

🤤

First, the good news. The bathwater has been disposed of.

😑

I watched Project Hail Mary completely ignorant about the book or movie and it was very enjoyable.

"it is not complex or overengineered just because i don't understand it yet" i remind myself again and again

"I'm doing my part!"

really digging this Loop song open.spotify.com/track/2u4mFl...

You pronounce it "An" 😉

we're in this funny spot where the documentation you give an LLM is like the "true" readme for a piece of software posit-dev.github.io/great-docs/s...

I think this is a good overview of (part of) what we do? cc @bapalmer.bsky.social

My favorite Slay The Spire 2 synergy space I’ve stumbled onto is Regent’s “be gone” / “tyranny” / that uncommon one self-exhaust card plus “bombardment” (expensive card that plays itself once exhausted)

whoa just felt some micronostalgia for this song

Modest Mouse lyric

As I progressed (hopefully) from data novice to data competent, one of the most impactful practices I adopted was to never* rely on saved intermediate datasets (etc) in my workflow. All projects are designed so that ["raw" data -> analysis data -> analysis] is 100% reproduced in every session.

“if it hurts, do it more often” i say to my child, knowing that this is really a line that software developers say to hype themselves up about things like testing and version control

it would be funny to go back to 4:3 video because it looks tolerable in vertical or horizontal orientations

ahem yankee hotel foxtrot is a 2002 album

29 years of #rstats community knowledge was sitting in hard-to-search pipermail archives. So I built a more modern home for it. Introducing the R Mailing List Archives: 631,000+ messages from 32 lists, fully searchable and available as open data. r-mailing-lists.thecoatlessprofessor.com

This is awesome! Somehow my life is enriched knowing that @hadley.nz ‘s first ever post from 2002 was about improving base R plotting aesthetics *including* the now famous light grey background There’s an Easter egg if I ever saw one!

How can this go on for another 3 years?

Happy ten year anniversary to the npm left-pad incident to those who celebrate 🥂

My least favorite event in Slay The Spire 2 is “This or That” where the choices are “This” or “That”. It makes all the other events seem kind of stupid for having the same formula.

The Iran war not even having a concrete goal makes it less of a “war” and more of a “hobby.” Like renting a tank in Vegas to blow up a refrigerator. As always, the great achievement of this administration is taking evil aspects of American politics and somehow making them much, much more evil.

we had a blizzard on Monday and it’s 71°F today

I listened to the album Echoes (2003) today so I just need to force this comparison into existence

I navigated to Costco and I don’t know why but the point on the map was labeled “Costco’s Home”

boy I can’t want to play “Super Mario Bros.™ Wonder – Nintendo Switch™ 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park”

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

they killed “prepared” in the slay the spire 2 batch notes. they killed it so bad

amazing slide here

# uncool and useless `%¢%` <- function(name, data) { e <- quote(data$name) e[[2]] <- substitute(data) e[[3]] <- substitute(name) eval(e) } mpg%¢%mtcars #> [1] 21.0 21.0 22.8 21.4 18.7 18.1 14.3 24.4 22.8 ... hp%¢%mtcars #> [1] 110 110 93 110 175 105 245 62 95 123 123 ...

oh yeah, you're going to control for x are you?? 😈😈😈

I have a new joke about ancova vs difference scores but it’s just as funny as the old one was

the Fahrenheit scale is funny because 0°F to 32°F basically measures how well road salt can melt ice.
