Had a full day of building Harvvest with the dev team. Incredibly productive time that's hard to find when everyone has a day job.

For #TidyTuesday this week, I explored different ways of estimating the number of digits of pi you would need to be confident that it contains every combination of n-digit sequences. Look at that relationship!

Last year Vandy ruined my bracket. Still put them down as going all the way this year. #AnchorDown

Ides of March dinner party menu:
Kaiser rolls
Caesar salad
Etouffee Brute

Seattle has had a super mild winter then yesterday there's snow and this morning there's hail...

Push notifications are disproportionately complex for how common they are in app development.

How long do you mentally add an hour to the oven clock before actually changing it? Probably about a week for me. #daylightsaving

Harvvest's internal analytics is still a scheduled job sending graphs to a discord channel, but today it's been enhanced to also send some summary tables. My war against dashboards is going surprisingly well.

For this week's #tidytuesday, I took a look at the relationship between a plant's nutrient, water, and sunlight needs. Surely if you have plenty of two of them you don't need the third.

Bicycles pretty commonly have no fancy gadgets and functions.
But what you're probably looking for is the performancy, car-enthusiast cars. Think Mazda MX-5 or or a Corolla GR. They have an engine, seats, and not much else.

Did some image processing this weekend with #rstats converting an EKG image into a time series. Really helpful having some understanding of how those results are interpreted. markmichael.dev/posts/2025-1...

Great suggestion! I amended my post an included normalization using both total word count as well as sentence count. The Musgrave Ritual had both the least absolute exclamation points and the least after adjusting for length, making it his most Hemingway story.

First #TidyTuesday using #rstats to see how Hemingway is Arthur Conan Doyle in the complete works of Sherlock Holmes.

Brands are seeing the value in connecting with smaller influencers with a closer connection to their followers. Now it's a distribution question. How do you gather an army of micro-influencers to promote your product? www.bbc.com/audio/play/w...

Clout is released in the App Store and Google Play! c1p3y.app.link//pe4C7USaQPb. Stoked to start getting feedback from the world!

Incorporating LLMs into Clout feels like giving easy-to-do but hard-to-automate tasks to an incredibly eager intern. #AI

Building an analytics dashboard. It's currently a weekly #R job that posts 5 plots in a discord channel. I'm thinking I can get a lot of mileage with that strategy.
