Seems someone submitted my article on Hamming numbers to reddit and it got a lot of upvotes but zero comments: https://teddit.net/r/Python/comments/q3xryc/paul_ganssle_generating_ksmooth_numbers_in_python/
Probably for the best, but it kinda feels like when you give a talk and get zero questions at the end...
@cnx and @huy_ngo will be presenting the floating cheeses at PyData Global 2021: https://pydata.org/global2021/schedule/presentation/37/towards-collaborative-reproducibility-pinning-repository-of-binary-distributions
As the conference's name suggests, the talk shall target data scientists. A more generic talk at the first #PackagingCon ever was also accepted and is to be announced as soon as the schedule is published.
Fediverse folks, we are looking forward to seeing you in the conference. If you want to attend either of the talks but cannot afford the tickets, please contact us in private (via Matrix or emails) for assistance.
Any #systemd experts want to take a crack at this one? https://serverfault.com/q/1079993/336913
Trying to set up a single timer that rebuilds all my websites at some regular interval, but I can only ever get it to trigger once using the only method I've found to do it.
My "short" blog post on generating regular numbers in Python, finally available only 7 months after I started writing it 😅: https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/regular-numbers-in-python.html

> Kentucky State University (KSU) has the only full-time pawpaw research program in the world; it was started in 1990 with the aim of developing pawpaw as a new tree-fruit crop for Kentucky.
@pganssle Pawpaw has a decent popularity in Louisville. People sell jams and breads made with it at fairs in the fall.
@lucifargundam Kind of like a tropical fruit custard, or somewhat like creme bruleé.
When eaten slightly underripe it tastes a lot like a persimmon to me.
Looks like they are temporarily out of stock: https://earthy.com/products/fresh-pawpaws-from-earthy-delights
How about a chart of fraction of people with X complication after Y period of time? How are millions of people getting this surgery without being able to make a realistic assessment of their risks?

* what's hard about talking about learning & teaching (like our unreliable memories)
* police, the future, & biometric security, and the nuances of risk in the US

About 10-12 years ago, I was super hopeful about the promise of open university courses. I taught myself economics and many other subjects by carving out some time each day to watch a 30 minute video, take notes and do some homework.
The catalogs from many universities were already quite large at the time and I figured that in time you'd be able to get something close to a full undegraduate degree's worth of classes at home from watching videos.
I am very sad that MOOCs (synchronous, time-limited, graded courses behind walled gardens) sucked so much air out of the room.
Has anyone got a list of questions I can ask a potential fitness trainer to ascertain whether or not they are likely to be in one of the more science-based fitness camps?
Every time I try to read a book on fitness, it's all, "The one simple trick to get ripped abs with zero effort!" I want a fitness coach with a pragmatic, skeptical point of view.
@ashwinvis I can heartily recommend staying far away from any packaging discussions.
as an asian, i can’t see anything wrong with this, @pganssle
