Weather Effects on Boston Marathon Times How much did the 1976 ‘Run for the Hoses’ actually slow the field?

ased on the attire on the Green Line skewing more Hokas and On Cloudmonsters than a typical workday, I can confirm today is the Boston Marathon.

Just uploaded a new blog post looking at how much of finish-time variation is attributable to weather.

Oh my god that 1976 race must have been horrid!! Loved reading through it on Patriots Day

If you take melatonin and allergy pills before you sleep- you will have the most convoluted dreams ever.

Like a man taking his goldfish on a walk. #myart

I swear it's because people are terrified of white space or they think their audience are dumb dumbs with no working brain.

Tell me about your favorite #Rstats package!

it's silly geese

everyone gonna say ggplot2
so I'm gonna say gganimate (example below)

I'm hyped for Mass for the Endangered! Pretty interesting selection - so different than the previous concert!

"Well I don't have time or resources-"

LOL MY DUDE VENMO REQUEST ME a dollar for a pen and a sheet of paper

Also of all the types of AI- AI generated images are the most abhorrent to me. Fucking pick up a pen dude- that's a skill issue right there.

No you don't need to use AI generated images for your research slides lol.

There's always a "But I need something"
and I swear 100% of the time it's not necessary.

dude same. im trying to write less “work-related code” things and more casual works like short stories. just anything thats mine and mine alone.

from Experience, these people who push for more and more are walking voids. miserable fucking people that decide to make their unhappiness part of our problem.

god I’m trying to push for more non coding hobbies like sewing and drawing so that I can keep some mental sharpness.

This hits the core of the matter. i despise this constant need to optimize. not only in work but in our existence. my god we only have one short life here on earth.

oh my god I sing this to my dad a lot when I was a teen.

and he would always "I wish you were really Barbara Streisand"

big brain idea: Rita Ora should sponsor DS Lab

What a riot - DS Lab with @libbyheeren.bsky.social , @ivelasq3.bsky.social , @markjrieke.bsky.social , and Sam Parm! So much cool thing happenings in #rstats community.

singing, bayesian stats, Pokemon balls, and Rita ora!

Also I want to say I tried to dress up Lou Bega

Promotional graphic for "Fun Data Projects on the Data Science Lab" featuring a Quarto logo in a fedora and the "Um, Actually..." logo. Text: "Join us with Damie Pak, Mark Rieke, and Sam Parmar! Tues, April 7 @ 12 pm ET pos.it/dslab".

It's gonna be a fun Data Science Lab tomorrow!

@damiepak.bsky.social, @markjrieke.bsky.social , and Sam Parmar are going to walk through some fun data science projects that they have worked on. (Can you guess what they are about below?!)

Join the party: pos.it/dslab

"Ify Nwadiwe is the best Um, Actually contestant because he has the most wins"

this phrase sent me down a spiraling path of math that I'll yawp about tomorrow

“It’s downright amazing that Reverend Bayes thought of his Baysian Formula to analyze Lou Bega’s Mambo 5 even though it would be centuries before the song comes out. It really makes you think”

- me tomorrow

I'm not being ironic that I find using AI to write fanfic horrible to me. Why do you let machines yearn for you?

me seeing undergrads using AI for learning: well that sucks but ok we must simply adapt.

me seeing AI fanfics on AO3: we're cooked chat

THOSE ARE THE SAME THINGS NERD

I demand that everyone has to sing and improv songs.

Me going to different thrift stores to find a fricken fedora !!

I would definetly be a bard barbarian . A luting looter as one would say.
