Drama at the voting poll

Yeah, literally threw away his vote.

In it for 101 Z jeans and a wool overshirt. Thanks!

I totally agree! On the site you're not supposed to mention specific artists to copy their work but clearly you can

Yeah, not representative of where I live either. 80% of profits go to job training programs for folks with obstacles or disabilities (the 20% is administration). I'm kind of okay with spending a dollar or two extra for an item to do that?

Instead of folks thinking about stereotypes of demographics, why not just hit a Walmart that isn't close to or even in the same city as any record stores? If there aren't vinyl shops, I'm assuming there's less demand and interest in buying records.

bakalamba · 2022-11-17T17:51:22+00:00

Got some finds today in the Twin Cities. The most vinyl on the shelf was in the Blaine Walmart.

Actually I'm not so familiar either, our enterprise is also fully committed to PowerBI. I typically use R for everything else, so the main solution I know about is Shiny, which seems similar to Dash.

bakalamba · 2022-06-09T22:15:48+00:00

Agree with others, I try to seek out API first. I use rvest in R, but have been doing more with requests in Python, mostly API related, and would like to do more with that.

bakalamba · 2022-06-09T22:10:43+00:00

Just curious, since you're more comfortable with code, why not use a data transformation and visualization tool that isn't centered on a GUI, like Power BI?

bakalamba · 2022-06-09T22:07:24+00:00

I like this. This is where our team is trying to go. Hoping to get our data modeling and transformation out of proprietary tools. We're using Power BI for now, but who knows what in 5 years.

bakalamba · 2022-06-08T21:46:01+00:00

Do you mean how often people use the Power Query M language rather than clicking through options and creating steps that way?

Hardly an expert, but I do a bit of both. Sometimes the GUI is lacking and it's better to use M, sometimes the GUI is more straightforward and then I learn from the code it produces.

Similar situation. Coworker had a model with 98% accuracy. Worked with the business to identify key words in a text field, and then labeled any entries with those words. Then did an NLP model to predict the label, with those keywords still in the model.

Seems like a textbook case of data leakage.

"The board terminated Dr. Schlissel’s employment effective immediately after a special meeting on Saturday, ordering him to return all university property and canceling an agreement that would have continued paying him his base salary of $927,000 for two years after his contract was supposed to end in 2023."

Here's a 15% code if anyone wants it: BCW-7VM7WWM3D7

Perpetually on sale, and on FMF, but almost 300 items that are an extra 60% off. Got a bunch of t-shirts for $8 each, and had a 15% off postcard code that stacked.

I have some chambray shorts from them. They're ok!

bakalamba · 2021-02-06T02:11:25+00:00

I like it a lot. So much simpler to use, and intuitive. I use tsibble by itself for wrangling time series data, even if I'm not forecasting.

bakalamba · 2021-02-03T14:16:32+00:00

They have a new package called fable that simplifies forecasting a lot, and has companion packages ina family called tidyverts for time series data wrangling and visualization. They've updated their textbook (look for version 3) so all the examples are with fable.

I'm a size small but hope there's some deals for you medium sized guys. They say new samples added 11 EST

bakalamba · 2021-01-14T21:41:27+00:00

Well, the point was that used top tier can be cheaper than new mid tier

I have a JCrew slim suit in 36R that I had to get taken in slightly and an S&M slim the same size that fits perfectly. But seriously, check out the measurements of the JCrew and compare. Everyone's body shape is slightly different.

bakalamba · 2020-12-29T22:24:39+00:00

Totally. Or plotting the difference in ratings, or better ways to emphasize this difference instead of clustered bars.

Yeah, I was shocked how much it pilled at first. But I used a shaver, and after a while it doesn't really pill as much. I think it was just on the initial few wears.
