This is neat. I haven’t had a chance to go through it in detail yet, but it looks like you’re using PyMC + Plotnine? I’ve been exploring similar integrations myself. Are you using any existing libraries, or is most of it custom tooling?

Updated my bookmark, is this one supposed to be titled with brms instead of rstan?

Love the work, this helped me so much to supplement the text and continues to be a great resource.

I wasn’t either until I did a big change a couple years ago in the fall. After getting through the holidays it was very much like “if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball”.

But I agree with atypical starts, and spring makes a lot of sense

The chart shows NFL team logos. Their position corresponds to the current probability that the team will make the playoffs this year.
Comets go from the logos to the right and left. Their final position corresponds to the probability that the respective team will make the playoffs if it wins or loses in the current week.
At the end of the comets are the probabilities in percent.
The probabilities are based on 50,000 simulations of the remaining NFL season.

2.) the combined playoff leverage of the teams involved in each game, sorted by kickoff time.

We bought our house a couple years ago and took on replacing floors by ourselves. I spent the entire time I budgeted for the project simply removing staples from the mix of wood and carpet upstairs. will never take that on again lol

A drawing of two clusters one cluster has a blonde girl with a ponytail in it, and the other cluster has a redhead a blonde and a brunette. This represents the scene and mean girls where Gretchen tells Regina George “you can’t sit with us!”

Tell me something you do when you code that other people would tell you that you shouldn't do.

Tell me the rules you break!

I'll go first: I work in untitled files in the wrong project directories all the time. Like, all the time. Yes, I do tend to lose things 😂 #databs #rstats #python

UPDATE: Jimmy Kimmel and his son have some things to get off their chest. Hey, remember the clip above from back in early May? And remember this from a week later? Yeah, well, about that... Opinion | On health care, Cassidy flunks his own 'Jimmy Kimmel test' https://t.co/Zv...

I stand with @jimmykimmel.com.

On a related note, here's a flashback to him standing up for his son and to protect healthcare coverage for millions of Americans 8 years ago.
