Mastodon has reminded me once again I can share high quality craft with the public and it matters zilch. zero. de nada. I keep getting lured into the trap of making effort

effort == BAD

There is/was a product brand line of USB cables named "Just Wireless!"

sometimes I think about that when people say that marketting is a real profession with real experts who should be taken seriously

just...

Be The Change You Wish To See In The World... Or Trip And Go Flying!

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40468101

A few days ago I was out in public, saw something and thought, "Thats a dumb spot for that. Because its hard to see, unexpected, and someone could easily trip on it and go flying."

But did nothing else and moved on.

Guess what happened this morning?

I FUCKING TRIPPED OVER IT AND WENT FLYING

ouch. & loltears

reinforced a few rules of mine:

1. trust your own judgment

2. be the change you wish to see in the world. if not you then who?

3. develop best practices and ALWAYS enforce/apply them

a lot of Southern red states are getting creepy. taking more steps in the direction of A Handmaid's Tale

I have noticed an uptick in the amount of recruiting attempts I get from Texas and Florida, esp TX

it makes sense. there's a tech scene focused around Austin and Houstin, esp Austin. but I could see lots of software engineers being "hell no!" on wanting to risk cruel Handmaid's Tale like treatment of the women in their life

copying you on thread above since you are also passionate on climate issue

I was unaware of all the virtue signalling & cancel culture drama around RMS. yikes

anyone know of a FOSS lib equiv to Python's Scikit-learn (sklearn) but in/for Go?

(and to forestall an obvious suggestion which is likely a non-starter for my needs: yes I am aware of idea of wrapping it or otherwise linking out to it from Go, that is my worst case fallback, but avoiding it. ideal is a 100% pure Go source-to-binary solution)

#Golang

#Python

#sklearn

#ScikitLearn

#ML

#stats

#statistics

#math

#FOSS

#Texas has now banned both #abortion and #Pornhub

not sure if thats a brilliant combo or a crazy dumb one?

nostr:npub1a8ymmn6mcuyk2uaxpw8c8jwzr30cytv2vkkmqx2747jzrjlwhhzq9akcdp thank you for reminding me of the benefits of slices in Go

nostr:npub1tgyxkct6e2tnz2zskqdf2hh3axs6u0qmy6cs6q56ldd39wvth0tsau49jx well I tried the official clip on YT first. then fellback to the MSNBC clip there. more trimmed and lacked the forced ASL distraction-bomber

rule of thumb: in many of the cases where folks put the phrase "men and women" it prob makes more sense to just say people. or folks. or humans. or adults

not out of any desire to be Woke or PC or virtue signalling. just to be more precise and accurate about the "type" of entities you intend to include

eg. saying "The men of the US armed forces are (...)" has the benefit at least of having.point to limiting to men. Whereas "men and women of the (...)" has no point. Just say people or members.
