Ah. I use R a lot but gotten so used to not saving RData and Rhistory that I forgot why they were useful.
I'm currently using Doppler (
https://www.doppler.com/) but I'm not sure if it sidesteps the issues outlined in the article.
Could you post a link to the client?
Any advice for someone looking to get into the field?
What's the name of the library?
I'm on Android and use Castbox. Wouldn't recommend the free version unless you're extremely tolerant to ads. It comes with a good selection of other features (comments, recommendations, etc.) but I don't use them.
I'd also (tentatively) put PocketCasts forward. I switched to Castbox because I encountered an issue that made it unusable, but it doesn't seem like it was widespread when I was trying to find out what was wrong. Unfortunately the Support Team couldn't help so I had to leave it.
It's not hard to figure out but it would be helpful to know which team (by kit color) is attacking.
Also is this just a collection of (controversial) calls VAR ruled as offside? Went through about 10-15 and that's all I got.
It's even hinted at in the article: "A significant connection between the parents’ level of education and entrepreneurship was also noted." The clickbait title confirming people's priors isn't surprising though.
If I had to guess at the causal graph it would something like:
smart -> income
smart -> entrepreneurship
entrepreneurship -> income
income -> entrepreneurship
And even without the last two connections the smart confounding variable would induce a relationship between income and entrepreneurship.
This is fantastic. I spent a lot of time looking into making my own podcast feed with audio of articles but never pushed through hard enough to get it working.
It's working perfectly on desktop but I'm having some trouble on Castbox. When I navigate to the link from the QR code Castbox can't find the feed.

I've gradually come to see that the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect is an abstraction even though it refers (with good reason) just to newspapers. I've become hyper skeptical (always wait for more evidence, get the other side of the story, etc.), and the evidence so far supports its effectiveness. Generally my belief is proportional to my knowledge.But what if you need assign a strong belief to a...

I'm on the technical side and naturally lean towards the true source of data being tables in a database. Day to day I also have to deal with non-trivial data whose source of truth is stored in Google Sheets instead. I believe that it's the wrong tool for the job beyond casual data tasks, but recognize its value-add and the impracticality of expecting everyone to learn SQL and/or the basics of a...
This is something I've given some thought to since encountering logic programming. Could something like this be done in say, Prolog?
> First Netflix UI is anti-consumer and regularly hides things or makes them difficult/impossible to find.
Your working hypothesis is that Netflix is willfully trying to keep people from spending more their platform?
I'm surprised that you'd suggest that "businesses brought this on themselves." It's a cut and dry government failure.
It's expecting companies to subsidize misguided government policies. For example, if the government restricts housing (and implements rent control) which drives up prices, why should companies pay more to make sure people can afford housing costs? How about runaway inflation?
There's always talk about market failures when many times government failures are the true causal mechanism.
Sure. Would be glad to help if I can. My email is in my GitHub profile.
I was afraid someone would ask. It's a minimal proof of concept that I did in a day for a specific use case. It's only for directed digraphs, only stores node attributes, and has zero tests.
If you still want to poke around: https://github.com/gfleetwood/nxdb. I just added comments and renamed some variables for clarity, so there might be errors.
After doing a ton of searching - and being extremely picky - I ended up writing a thin two way wrapper for sqlite and networkx. The only graph database that was easy to get started with that I felt comfortable using was Neo4j, and it's definitely not a sqlite equivalent.

Apologies if the title is unclear. I often feel a disconnect between the freedom I have to interact with laptop versus the barriers put up between me and my phone - often due to the app-centered relationship. Examples include:* The ease of being able to drop files into Dropbox for syncing on a laptop, but not having a clue how to do the same on mobile.* Not being able to interact with the file...
Simple Screen Recorder is pretty good.
I use conda through miniconda. It comes with great support for reproducible virtual environments.
You could add a Brier score as well to get a sense of how well they are at predicting at a glance.
Played around with it a while back when my attempt at doing hardware died pretty quickly. Will check them out again.
Cool. Thanks for the info.
Ordered a couple recently, so I'll play around with them once they arrive.
