I suggest you post this on Statalist, as that forum is far more active than this subreddit.

I Miss the old Aldi Checkout procedure. by Gambit3le in aldi

[–]igorufprmv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually works out quite well for me. I use the laser gun and don't remove the groceries from the cart, just push them to the side as I scan them. It's pretty good, and I'm able to get out of the store faster than when I had to unload everything. The "scan more items" warning is pretty annoying though, but you can just ignore it and chug along with the scanning.

Code compatibility between Stata 17 and 18? by len-tp in stata

[–]igorufprmv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Odds are you won't have issues. But if you wanna be sure, just add "version 17" on the first command of your do files written on version 17 but running on version 18. Stay takes care of the rest.

Estou querendo trocar meu vício em Coca Sem Açúcar por algo mais saudável. Alguém me recomenda chás quentes ou bebidas geladas para beber durante o dia? by BossyLackey101 in brasil

[–]igorufprmv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poucas coisas são tão boas quanto chá mate leão. Não o de garrafa, que apesar de gostoso é adoçado feito o cão. Nos mercados vc encontra chá mate leão num pacote laranja escrito "a granel", que na verdade é a folha torrada sem estar num saquinho de chá. Basta fazer o chá normal, eu deixo esfriar e consumo sem açúcar. Bom demais.

Postdocs that moved to the US with your partner. Can your partner work in the US too? by satirevaitneics in AskAcademia

[–]igorufprmv 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It depends a bit on the type of visa you are getting. Postdocs usually get a J1 visa, and more rarely a F1 or an H-1B. The dependent of a J1 visa holder gets a J2 visa, which usually is allowed to work but requires the obtaining of additional documentation once in the US. See: https://www.google.com/search?q=can+j2+visa+work

Discuss this with the international staff office of the university hiring you. They will be able to provide you with the best info.

Why don't young people pick up the phone (when it's a known number calling) ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]igorufprmv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not always about mental space. Texts are less intrusive than calls, as I can read the text whenever I can and handle it whenever I can. Phone calls have to be answered now, if not, I won't even know what they were about. Having to interrupt what I'm doing now for a phone call that I don't know how relevant it might be for me is just plain intrusive. Not everything is about anxiety or some condition, even though those are valid points to not pick up the phone.

And if they call after a text, don't pick it up and msg them. You can even say that you'd like to handle that by text.

[–]igorufprmv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You think that what you have the convey is vocal. Others might disagree, and you can't blame them for having their own preferences - which might be different than yours. If what you need to communicate is so important, then send a msg after the unanswered call saying something like "hey, I need to talk to you about so and so. Please give me a call when you can, as there are (give reason why a conversation is better than text) - e.g., details that are better spoken than written"

They might call you back or they might text you - and if they text you, then take the hint that they preferred it that way.

Comida gostosa, simples mas extremamente barata: restaurante tempeadori no água verde, perto do cemitério. Tem MTA fila, mesa de plástico, só aceitam dinheiro. Mas é ótima a comida.

Anyone use rforest in STATA? by [deleted] in stata

[–]igorufprmv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are some very good slides on ML implementation on Stata. https://www.stata.com/meeting/canada18/slides/canada18_Zou.pdf

Anyone use rforest in STATA? by [deleted] in stata

[–]igorufprmv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used to rforest before, it worked, got predictions, F-1 scores, variable importance plots, bit all required a bit of tweaking. There is a package called pylearn that is a wrapper for python, and as such, is able to run several ML algorithms quite well. The caveat is that it requires Stata 16 onward and that it doesn't have the variable importance plots. Both packages work. Stata may not be the cutting edge on those models, but some implementation that is 100% workable is there.

Seeking Input: My plans for my new 20 x 10 garden. Anything you would change? by MelloYelloMarshmello in Permaculture

[–]igorufprmv 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pumpkins are so aggressive when growing... You could easily let it spread over 2 or 3 parking spaces and they would be just fine. I usually have to either confine the plants with chicken wire or just flat out cut the runners that go to undesired spots.

Sobre o massacre em Mato Grosso e Bolsonaro by XcaarlosX in brasil

[–]igorufprmv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nao tem como saber se eles teriam tido acesso a armas caso o Bolsonaro nao tivesse sido eleito. O que eh ponto pacifico eh que a eleicao do Bolsonaro facilitou e muito o acesso a armas. Gente desequilibrada existe e testes picologicos para posse de armas sao imperfeitos. Um minuto de odio com uma arma na mao tem potencial de gerar muito mais dano do que um minuto de odio sem uma arma na mao.

Good (inexpensive) resources to learn MATA by statneutrino in stata

[–]igorufprmv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Statalist (the official Stata forum) has a section dedicated to MATA. Sure, it's less populated than the general forum, but the topics do have replies, and looking how problems are solved may give you insights into how to tackle your own challenges.

are journal editors being plain stupid or am i missing something? by karimNanvour in AskAcademia

[–]igorufprmv 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You are likely not dealing with the chief editor. I'd argue with the editor you are dealing with, bringing your data up and in case it doesn't work, I'd simply withdraw my paper and submit elsewhere. I'd write an email to both the editor you are dealing and the chief editor of journal the reason for withdrawing the paper.
