very jealous.

Boston Public Market is a good food hall near Fanieul. Pretty good overall and variety. But may be a bit far from seaport/convention center

Taiwan Cafe and most things in Chinatown. Shy Bird. Bardo's Bar Pie is about as far north (sort of...) as you'll find south shore bar pizza (a regional specialty). Most things in Seaport are good but can be $$$$ (Row 34, Trillium, etc...)

a lazy hack I've used when I really want access to something hiding or not exported is :::

reprex.lazyload:::myfunc()

but admittedly I don't think this is the norm and probably only for emergency use (or laziness)

I'm at the airport and the airline forced me to do that at the kiosk -- which makes sense

It printed a form I had to fill out by hand with emergency contacts

No one wants to take it. I keep trying to give it to airline staff and they say "You dont need that. We just have to ask"

Cool.

We should chat (you know how to find me)! We've been working on this a bit

yes actually! I don't know if an abstract/write up is available but if of interest, please let me know and I'll dig this up

Occasional reminder that this is actually a pizza account

South shore bar style (45% hydration, 10% oil). Di Napoli tomatoes, scarmoza, nduja

For more than 9 years, I have remained irrationally angry that Dunkin' Donuts does not exist in Canada

*slaps roof of powerpoint* you should see how many slides this machine can cram into 60 minutes

(the answer, currently, is 160 and likely to go up)

if Doug Flutie and Arnie *weren't actually there*, then I choose my false memory that they were.

The seats were incredible regardless. Basically high five distance from from Mick Jagger as he danced around

A friend's dad was the fire fighter supervising pyro at Fenway Park for The Rolling Stones (2005?). Got us in, last minute, for free. Basically at the stage.

Turned around and saw, if I recall correctly, that Doug Flutie and Arnold Schwarzenegger had worse seats than 2 broke college kids

agree I'd prefer CIs. but I lean more comprehensive reporting of everything because "p < .05" could be .0499 or .0101

put it all out there. it's all useful!

software as a replacement of look up tables: totally agree.

but the exact p-values themselves are not always reported. so we need those other bits of information to help (and verify)

I'd rather see it all reported/displayed (especially N or df) than reporting of just one thing or another.

it took me a minute but I remembered the suite of R packages developed across companies to replace other tools with R:

pharmaverse.org

After IBM acquired SPSS, they also started offering direct integration with (or even pass through to?) R

A big, perhaps qualitative, sign of movement is in bio/pharma industry and how they're now making/publishing R packages to support this work (and move away from SAS and others)

I think James Anderson's work on teaching arithmetic to neural networks or understanding how neural networks do arithmetic may be a neat predecessor to this work

On top of that, every year since 2016 (barring 2020) around July 6, we visit Indie Ale House (not on bluesky) because that's the first place we visited on arrival. I used to add it to the same Twitter thread every year. But I deleted that nonsense.

So continues the tradition of Indie Ale House

Today, American independence day (and nearly 9 years to the day I came to Canada), I will take the oath to become a Canadian citizen. By swearing allegiance to King Charles

Someone at immigration thought this would be funny (I think it's funny too)

Happy Canada Day to everyone, even the snowbirds and hosers

but when one does multiverse-style approaches and things all point in the same direction? feels great

this was, in fact, a Friday. the date itself was correct.

I'm absolutely puzzled why Google would do this over the long standing small box directing people to well know time/day sources

NOW THIS IS LAWNCARE

Come join our team! We're looking for someone to join us to help build up and support our on-prem (and eventually hybrid) platform(s) infrastructure.

We've included a lot of the tech we currently use in the job call. Please reach out if interested

a question mark changes the response. truly incredible

I had mixed results on that yesterday. It was fun to find ways in which Gemini could give just terrible answers
