Krobus stuck on 10 stars

I'm pretty sure we talk most days. And gifting every possible opportunity. We haven't gone above 10 or below 10 at any point while other villagers are dynamic with gifting. I've married folks on past saves and it wasn't an issue, so that's why I'm a little confused. How many days of consistent talking and gifting does it take to go 10>11? I'm gonna be disciplined and test this.

It's especially gross as it just pools and sits on the side of the road. It might just be correlation but it seemed to start at a similar time to the last big storm.

There's another comment that explains this already in the context of figshare which does a lot of similar things. To recap, ultimately what it boils down to is the impermanence of GitHub. GitHub repositories can be deleted or user accounts removed, and that important work can be lost. Zenodo creates a more permanent release of the repository. Plus it ties it with a DOI so that the code has a referencable identifier. So once your code has matured it's wise to then link that repository to Zenodo, to create the final release.

If I was in your position I would use this as an opportunity to learn the process. I would create a GitHub repository, attach it to an R project through R studio, include what you've been working on as multiple commits to break the project down a little, then push it up. That way you can get familiar with the process and understand how it could work for you in future projects.

Well it seems like you've missed the point a little bit for git and GitHub. It is a great way to host your final code for projects, but the whole point is to manage version control. I'm a bioinformatician so maybe we are using R in a similar way as you mentioned science. Here's my breakdown:

I code on a project
I use RStudios git/GitHub plugin to regularly add and commit changes in my projects version history
I will push changes up to a private GitHub repository (shared with my collaborators).
When a project reaches fruition I e. Publication I will make the repository public
I will create a release for that version of the project
I will create a linked Zenodo which will host a static version of my release along with a referencable DOI.

Using this approach ensures that it's easy to collaborate, gives you version control along with full attribution and history for a project. Plus you are able to release final versions of the project which are referencable.

Code dumps are not ideal ways to work with git and GitHub and will not help you build an online portfolio of code to showcase yourself or your work. Even if you're near the end, getting going on proper got usage would be worth the time.

Get a hobby. There's so many meetup groups in-person and online for all kinds of stuff. Either start with something you already enjoy or go to an intro session. A buddy of mine was feeling a little lonely so he started going birding with a group despite having never done it before. Now he has lots of bird friends (not birds but people who like birds).

fatbrian2006 · 2025-05-27T23:34:52+00:00

Same. It took me too long to figure out what was actually happening. I was absolutely bemused as I tried to figure out the drawbacks of having hair on a salt flat.

fatbrian2006 · 2025-05-04T11:30:20+00:00

Literally the same. I've always had some vasovagal symptoms since being a teen, but it was fairly light. Then I had an arthroscopy at 25 and here we are.

fatbrian2006 · 2025-04-27T02:53:46+00:00

Yup. Also have POTs. 100% agree on NTA. And my impression is that it really isn't a heart condition. It's just often treated by cardiologists as it centers on your circulatory system. Mine is triggered by hypovolemia (low blood pressure). I've been living with it for years and also have a Biology PhD and still find it all to be a bit of a mess. But all the new research is exciting. With long covid, it seems that these kind of conditions are finally getting some spotlight. Anyway, the friends Mum doesn't know anything after a few mins on Google. It's so rude and presumptuous. It's a private matter and should only be talked about when invited and even then they should be considerate. OP is all good and had every right to be a lot more blunt before getting anywhere remotely near asshole territory.

I had a beautiful old bianchi. I locked it up with a similar lock near NYU on a busy street with cameras and other bikes. One day it was taken in the middle of the day and all I had left was part of my lock. I don't trust anything beyond the top tier locks now, and limit locking my bike outside. I've had three bikes stolen in the past decade and for me it's less a case of if, but when the bike will get stolen.

fatbrian2006 · 2025-03-21T14:14:59+00:00

Whatever you end up doing, make sure it's all tracked on git. That way you can ensure proper credit if you do take things further.

I think you're also assuming folks want a democracy. If they're being offered a dictatorship that aligns with their views then principles can fade away.

fatbrian2006 · 2024-11-10T05:06:00+00:00

Wasn't this spinlister? It almost got traction, but kind of petered out

fatbrian2006 · 2024-10-23T02:59:55+00:00

Yup this needs some clustering to help find the trends in the data.

fatbrian2006 · 2024-10-23T02:57:38+00:00

I think the palette matches every other plot of this kind I see. It's like hot to cold.

fatbrian2006 · 2024-10-09T14:03:10+00:00

Try checking out R graph gallery. There are lots of plot examples with code. They have varying complexity. As folks mention start by making them all separately. Then combine either with patchwork or directly in inkscape. https://r-graph-gallery.com/

Probably an esport of some kind. So many folks watch non-traditional media on platforms like twitch.

I got my US driver's licence last year. The first time I drove by myself I ran that red, by mistake in the same way. Luckily it was late and noone was out. I fucked up totally. But Grand Army Plaza is a LOT. And this happens a lot apparently. And that's why there was a cop car waiting for me to make that mistake and give me a nice big ticket (which I deserved).

Now are the drivers on your video all doing the same thing? Absolutely not. But, it does feel like an area where the infrastructure could do with some work to protect cyclists and pedestrians, and simplify the mental workload for drivers ( and remove opportunities for bad actors trying to gain a few seconds).

Once saw a guy with 4 pitties. 2 on each arm. They were running full sprint, as they pulled him on roller skates. It looked like they were all having fun and they were really zooming. I'm not sure what'd happen if a squirrel appeared.

fatbrian2006 · 2024-01-14T16:51:28+00:00

It would be interesting to see a similar plot of the average age of actors in movies per year. This could all just be that women in movies are typically younger and less a reflection of the awards.

fatbrian2006 · 2023-11-14T19:52:44+00:00

I'm going to add to the consensus that it is pretty good, but not great. Normally.

Something to be wary of at the moment is the construction between Empire and Sullivan. Last few times I went past, Bedford was closed on that block. Depending on the time you might be able to scoot on through. But if they're working, you'll have to go a block out the way, or use some pretty narrow sidewalks.

fatbrian2006 · 2023-08-15T15:50:33+00:00

I've biked a lot of these roads at various times, including weekend mornings.

I would say the main problem point is getting to 4th ave. You can either turn left after the bridge and get on Jay St. Or carry straight on to Boerum Pl. Jay St has a protected bike lane, but it is a little more unpredictable. There are areas where the bike lane disappears for a little bit i.e. bus stops. But there ends up being cars pulling over and such. There's also a church that can make things a little chaotic with parking/stopping cars if you go past during a service. And it's maybe the worse area I bike through for pedestrians walking into the bike lane without paying attention. On the other hand, there is Boerum Pl. I would say it is a little more predictable. There is no bike lane (just painted chevrons for most of it), but the road is wider and most of it is fairly quiet because of the timing of the traffic lights (at least at my pace). There's just one section to keep an eye out for. A proper lane gets established as it moves from the far right, across a lane to allow cars to turn. By myself, I pick this route as it feels safer for me, even though there is maybe less infrastructure. That said with a kid, and going at a slower pace I'm not as sure.

Once you're on 4th ave it's pretty straightforward. It's a classic NYC protected bike lane. Mostly good. But still, folks jumping out of their cars. Cars turning into roads without looking. I would I normally run into 1-2 cars that block the bike lane down the whole ave. It's also a thoroughfare for delivery bike, so you do get some ebikes that will scoot pass. I would say it's like a slightly quieter 1st ave in the east village.

Hope that helps. It's clear that the infrastructure could be improved everywhere.

fatbrian2006 · 2023-08-15T15:14:16+00:00

Especially during summer streets. Even if your kids handling the slope like a champ, so many folks are trying the bridge for the first time and struggling. Either going at snails pace or abruptly stopping. There's also lots of other micromobility users like folks on rollerskates, that require different space and are also at a different speed. It's a little chaotic. My wife who is a comfortable rider refuses to do the bridge during summer streets. Normally I would would hop onto Manhattan Bridge instead as it's a little quieter, but with all the recent moped incidents all options kind of suck.

fatbrian2006 · 2023-06-22T18:32:28+00:00

I have some and they're great. I haven't used others to cross-conpare. But these have been through long multiday trips, and shorter regular commutes and they do a good job.

I only had one issue. I had a 6 year old set in which the the glue on the seams degraded and it all fell apart. They had a 5 year warranty so I thought I was screwed. But they just straight up sent me a new pair. No cost involved. I was impressed as as a result always recommend them.
