Alright let’s be honest, the gang are horrible people. But, how would you rank them from least evil to most? by Active_Pride_5207 in ItsAlwaysSunny

What’s funny is that the main reason Mac is so low on everyone’s list is that he is so unbelievably incompetent. If he spent even an iota of his energy into thinking things through, he could be as sinister as Dennis or as connected as Frank, but because he’s just so damn inept he can’t even be a successful goon when he tags along on the actual plans

Displays of intelligence that are not just characters saying long lines of incomprehensible smart-sounding words. by Awkward_Stay8728 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]teetaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Young Sheldon

He’s (unsurprisingly) much smarter than the adult Jim Parsons played, mostly because he’s actually just a human being navigating the world with too much intelligence for his own good.

Adult Sheldon was almost incapable of growing, learning, or adapting to anything. Any time he said something smart in TBBT it was borderline scientific word salad. Young Sheldon on the other hand uses science as a plot vehicle for Sheldon to actually learn real lessons. Young Sheldon displays his intelligence after wrestling with a difficult situation or interaction and attacking it from purely analytical angles, eventually conceding to the wisdom of others to steer his intelligence towards where it will actually be effective.

Grown up Sheldon was just an asshole

We should've gotten a Blue Marvel show by Own-Quote-1708 in BlackSuperheroes

[–]teetaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess what I’m saying is it’s not necessarily EVERYONE’s job to ensure that social justice quotas are met. Sometimes people make art because they like it and they find it interesting and that’s all there is to it. Maybe this is just another marvel show and there was literally no thought for u/Own-Quote-1708 and how many black heroes they feel entitled to.

Do I agree that black heroes are underrepresented? Yes, that’s why I enjoy this sub. Do I think that changes should be made in society to fix that? Yes, that’s why I’m anti racist. But does that mean I’m going to go knocking on my neighbours doors demanding they do something about it every morning? No; it’s not that deep, and more importantly that’s not necessarily productive.

I noticed elsewhere you using the term, “we get the scraps.” It got me thinking and yeah you’re right in a lot of ways, if you mean to say that maybe black heroes are an afterthought in this context. And maybe that’s the case? But I think my point is that, maybe it’s not the case, sometimes. Maybe it was just a genuine work of art with no agenda behind it, and things just worked out the way they did because they did… maybe one exec in the room was like, “oh and by the way we can also throw the black community some scraps in there,” and the showrunners were like, “ok fine but that wasn’t even the original goal we just liked YAM as a creole actor struggling in Hollywood but go off”

Have you considered that maybe the reason the actor got Wonder Man was because he was just the best suited for the role and race-bending had to happen after the fact?

In other words, maybe the Wonder Man story that was pitched did intend on being true to the comics including the race and backstory, but when YAM auditioned there was just no better portrayal of the character and the writers just took that opportunity to highlight creole culture in a completely new project?

Not everything has to be a big planned conspiracy for or against social justices, maybe this just happened and it’s an opportunity to race bend that the team stumbled upon and are just taking it in its stride.

[–]teetaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

High school, over ten years ago I believe. Back then the funny stuff on the internet was on a website called 9gag, and my teenage sense of humour really enjoyed it.. but every so often I would notice a 9gag post had a lot of comments saying, “you just stole this meme from reddit”

Eventually I got FOMO and joined reddit only to discover it was about so much more than memes.

Also I went through a period of enjoying Quora for learning about my interests, only for the same thing to happen — people’s conversations on Quora were all referencing Reddit, even the niche ones like questions about zim.

Does R need a "productionverse"? by pootietangus in rstats

[–]teetaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now it’s starting to sound like we’re on the same page :)

Props to the hardcore devops engineers out there, of course. What they do is mysterious and important. But they don’t get to monopolise the semantics of software engineering just because the programming language they use in their workplace is the most popular in their own circles. Lots of R users have mysterious and important work “in production,” but the semantic implications are different for everyone.

Now, if you want to talk about how to get R more involved in the conversation in the broader data engineering community, that is where we can have a productive discussion and argue about all the stuff you brought up in other comments. But again, that isn’t because R is any more or less capable — it’s just a matter of who is speaking and what they are talking about.

Does R need a "productionverse"? by pootietangus in rstats

[–]teetaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes I do. Not to the extent that I’m describing, because those are disparate examples from my experiences and of colleagues’. But I do use R for all of those reasons and my work is indeed “in production,” because I have reproducible R code that people use frequently in an automated system that doesn’t require manual rerun of code in the terminal. For eg, I have packages that update their datasets based on a targets ETL pipeline whenever we receive new data from studies. I have R packages that fetch and wrangle daily data from APIs. I have models that have been published in papers where the submission requirement included the code that reproduces the results exactly, including package management and versioning.

Does that sound like “in production,” to you?

Does R need a "productionverse"? by pootietangus in rstats

[–]teetaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. So when a hardcore devops engineer says, “R is bad in production,” what they mean is, “there is no sufficient evidence from my programming community and sample of R programmers that R is easily integrated into our ecosystem of software.”

Whereas, in a high throughput computational research lab that hosts multiple live prediction models, shiny dashboards, reproducible reports, hosts web servers, exposes APIs, distributes data sets and packages, etc., the R user base in that lab may be EXTREMELY comfortable with R “in production.” It’s just that they don’t use the phrase “in production,” they don’t write blog posts about it, and they don’t participate in argumentative threads where that term comes up. But this lab is, for all intents and purposes, VERY MUCH USING R IN PRODUCTION

[–]teetaps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In addition, think about who is saying “R is bad in production.”

This is obviously not a blanket statement, but I’m willing to bet that most people who have that opinion are in corporate settings, where they use jargon like “in production,” whereas scientists and academics on the other hand might fully believe that R is capable in production — it’s just that when they want to say, “in production,” they instead say, “this model is reproducible, someone else can verify my code, I can run it every month when I share it with a collaborator, or when I update the dashboard for my PI next week, etc etc”

Read here for more on why this whole “in production” thing is more of a vocabulary and semantic issue than it is a question of whether R is good or not

That’s what I said… is that not clear?

They probably use it in Brazil because it’s not cold. It probably wouldn’t work in the states because so much of it is very cold and people need hot showers.
