Was wondering why it looked familiar 🥳 thanks!

Am increasingly frustrated at how Google has messed up recipe search. I just need temperatures and cook times most of the time

today was definitely a doom in doomscrolling day

Would folks be interested in a tools/libraries workshop? Like best practices on the architecture/design side? And would anybody who's actually been published in viz be interested in helping run the workshop?

continuing my streak of rejected conference talks where it could be content or admin (submitted late 🤦‍♀️) or both. I have been on such a bad run lately that it's making me question my intuition on all the things. 😶

Oh no definitely, the female geeks could be better - Stewart's girlfriend was probably the most normal of the bunch and added specifically cause of the criticism.

I tend to assume trolls too, but give even odds on Hasbara or Russian/Iranian/etc disinformation campaigns.

Honestly, I think this ties into my theory that some of the folks mad at the big bang theory aren't mad about "misrepresentation" but actually that it hits too close to home.

Uh...yeah, the folks I know w/ excellent math skills who do fine are the ones w/ the social skills to understand that being good at math doesn't make them all knowing.

it was a plot line in so many law and order episodes

Given how many news orgs have lost independence due to their owners lately, I'm very impressed that the @bloomberg.com podcasts have been super even handed on their coverage of Zohran this entire election cycle.

Pulling up the old @digitalfellows.bsky.social email templates cause I'm blanking on wording for the digital signage request for the Data Science and Applied topology seminar.

Which, check out the seminar:

Just opened up a big python project in vscode on an AI enabled laptop & a minute in I wanna shut it off. Non-intrusively auto complete sphinx - great! Try to guess what I'm trying to do in docs and be completely wrong, not so much. :/

Been thinking on loop of how untenable it is, for any org of similar scale and scope, that the gov't can cancel and claw back POSE funding if any non-POSE work meets the gov'ts ever changing definition of DEI.

Not mad if the deal sticks

😬 I'm sorry & failing miserably at thinking up stuff that isn't like schnitzel & rice.

Most of the above but also my go to are playing cards from decks that aren't usable anymore

Thanks! Love the applied geometry.

I legit want to know how you got the label spacing so decent for the gaussian chord diagram

CityBike has something similar www.nyc.gov/site/mayorsp...

Had supervisors who would chew me out for "wasting time" on something that didn't work - it didn't make me go any faster/choose smarter, instead stuck me in even worse "this must be perfect" blue screens.

Am thinking I have so much space on my laptop and then installing 11GB of visual studio/dev environment stuff (mostly so that I don't install git twice) 😭

Apparently my worst habit picked up from either teaching or taking a proper technical writing class is rewriting narrative instructions into manual form

Been hearing a lot about this on pods - my guess is what folks often mean is hand curated - personalized as in the person recommending has thoughtful reasons for each choice & there's a cohesiveness to the choices that makes it feel personal to someone who vibes with the recommendations

The museum of math in New York has (or had) an exhibit on this!

Should I Be Worried About Arsenic in Rice?

My grandma's method, which I inherited, for making rice was boil, strain, rinse with hot water, put back in pot to cook & today I saw that's basically the recommend way to handle arsenic in rice so now I'm curious if something like that is how her method came about

Almost every complaint about "problematic" media aimed at women from that era makes me feel this way cause it often fails to contextualize how progressive a lot of these were for the time (which is probably why they even have enough staying power for folks to have heard of 'em now)

Tangential but I love your art/how you place and contrast all the patterns so well!

Yeah cause of the thunderstorm - flight got delayed til tomorrow morning so went home to sleep.

Screenshot of flight delay notice & underneath an advert to upgrade the flight

this feels rude
