I am a strong proponent of leaving this planet better behind than when I arrived on it. Thus to get the most bang for a lifetime my key focus is #longevity which I attempt to achieve with #nutrition specifically #plantbased.
Longevity is good and all as long as you are not frail and weak. Ideally would be to die young at an old age. Thus I incorporate tactics from #biohacking and #primalfitness. Additionally I am an advocate of #wildcrafting, which is a super set of #herbalism.
Studied many fields of science like maths or statistics, though the constant was always computer science.
Currently working as a fullstack web developer, though prefer to call myself a #SoftwareCrafter.
The goal of my side projects is to practice #GreenDevelopement meaning to create mainly static websites. The way the internet was intended to be.

Why is it called “going out for another bike ride” and not “recycling”?

How we spread #Disinformation — When a piece of information confirms our beliefs, we don't really look to know whether it's truthful or not and are then more likely to share it, thus spreading potentially fake news.
#StatisticsChallenge (02/50)
Decided to skip class today. Nonetheless wrote up some lecture notes.

Good evening, Twitter was a 16 year sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.
#StatisticsChallenge (01/50)
Feels great that slowly my mathematical knowledge is seeking back in, after not using it rigorously for the past 2a+.
Summary:
Class: 2
Participation: 3
This semester I get to tackle #statistics again and to keep my progress up I have decided to start a 50 day #StatisticsChallenge.
This idea came upon after successfully completing a 50 day #MappingChallenge, which got extended to 100 days. Currently a week out of completing 100 days and it feels like second nature doing #OpenStreetMap daily.
The difficulty would be that the one is a science and the other just an activity. So will need to figure out throughout the challenge on how to measure daily accomplishments. At least for #OSM there is a daily visual push tracker. So it’s quite clear if a day is missing. Might need to implement git repos to get the same effect.
Just got an automatic response on #WhatsApp that pointed me to move the discussion further towards #Signal. That’s when I learnt of the app #watomatic, which is doing this.
The spooky part is that it happened shortly after changing the status to point towards Signal as well.

Watching the crazy right wing extremists trying to tell me that Mastodon has been built to “save the blue checkmarks from Elon’s Twitter so they can keep hating free speech in their own bubble” is hilarious.
Ever heard of the
Lizardman’s constant

This paper is so awesome it is prompting me to write my first toot.
The science, the writing, the conclusion about scientific writing. I laughed out loud multiple times reading it. Hats off!
Question considering the human ear:
It has been suggested that using speakers are less damaging than headphones on the longevity of hearing. Though can a similar statement be made to sounds that we cannot hear anymore?
Do our ears still work even if we cannot hear the sound? And if they do still work, how much damage is put onto our hearing in the long run?

Wird Zeit für eine #Umfrage 😁 Das Ergebnis wird mich brennend interessieren.
Also, stellt euch vor, ihr wäret dazu aufgerufen, euch jetzt direkt zwischen den Welten von #Marvel und #DC zu entscheiden. Egal ob durch #Film, #Serie, #Comic oder #Game.
Wie würdet ihr euch entscheiden? (Zusatz. Warum würdet ihr euch so entscheiden?)
Gerne boosten für mehr Reichweite und eine bessere Aussagekraft 🙏 3 Tage Zeit! :) Danke sehr!

protip: always set a calendar reminder for your free trials: you will definitely not remember to cancel just before the paid subscription starts

100 Mastodon myths:
1. Mastodon is hard.
FALSE. It’s a "soft"ware. Not hardware.
2. You have to use Linux to post on Mastodon.
FALSE. FreeBSD and OpenBSD are also supported.
3. You need to learn to use the Vim editor before posting on Mastodon.
FALSE. There’s also an emacs plugin.
4. Mastodon is only for computer nerds.
FALSE. As you can see, we sometimes try to make jokes that everyone could understand.
I love how #measuretheory simplifies the understanding to introduction of #statistics

Hey lazymastodon, I have a linear algebra question.
So I've been thinking a bit about principle component analysis as of late. The way to find the vector of most variance in a multidimensional dataset is to put every datapoint in a column matrix, multiply that matrix by its transpose, and find the eigenvectors of the resulting square matrix.
Here's my question: I don't have a good intuition for what "multiply the matrix by its transpose" is doing. That compares every point to every other point by multiplying the same-dimension components together and summing the result across dimensions, but like... Why does that result in an interesting matrix instead of a pile of noise?

Are you a #software engineer interested in sustainable software and IT infrastructure? I’d love to connect! Looking to build a network of green engineers on here. 😊🌱
Would or could you tan your beloved pet? And let their corpse live further in your dwelling or would you prefer to remove them from your living corridor once it’s their time to go?
