So the #senate phone systems are just completely busted the last few days, or is it just me? Over call capacity or something?

I think I could handle eldritch truths. I’d take them in stride. Wouldn’t be driven mad.

Really think I’ve got to consciously try and make my feed more focused on tech/data and other interests, rather than just political news. Otherwise the natural extra volume of those types of posts and discussions really do seem like they’ll overwhelm everything else. Quickly becomes The Old Place.

Going to love living in the overlap of three niche things: ATO (federal IT approval process, not fun), ATO (automatic train operation on the Red Line), and ambiguous acronyms! www.wmata.com/about/news/M...

Has anyone already explored the niche of becoming the Menswear Guy, but for code? Go around elegantly espousing the virtues of clean execution for ideas considered “old fashioned”, with devastatingly well-researched takedowns of GitHub history for anyone who crosses you… I see an open opportunity!

Something frustrating about trying to build data science/development technical skills is how many key products are inherently enterprise, not things you can realistically practice outside a workplace that already uses it. Is there a real way to self-study #snowflake, #azure, #sagemaker, etc?

I definitely don’t have The Heart Of A Poaster, but I’m also weirdly determined to not be *only* a lurker/consumer of content like I was in the last 3+ years of Xitter. So I guess it’s just yeeting thoughts into the void for a while. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Hey maybe this place really is just like Old Twitter

It’s an old joke/truism that people study Urban Planning because they like SimCity/Cities: Skylines—but then the actual jobs are much more about reviewing tedious variance requests for neighbors setting up fences or that kind of thing. So what job is MOST like Cities: Skylines in real life?

analysis script getting bloated? copy pasting too much for each new DV? just contain everything in 4-5 specific bespoke functions dependent on each other. you will certainly not regret containing everything in 4-5 bespoke functions dependent on each other.

We’re celebrating the 20th birthday of NoMa-Gallaudet U today! Metro’s first infill station opened to great acclaim on Nov. 20, 2004. It opened as Metro’s 84th Station.  We’ll be sharing some fun facts about the station, ridership, and neighborhood in this 🧵#wmata

I don’t even know how to use the right hashtags for this new space but howling into the void that I’m looking for more content on: #dataviz #sveltejs #learningspanish #learningfrench

Okay fine I’ll post for the sake of not being a pure lurker: 1. Housing is good 2. R’s approach to “install.packages()” is better than Python’s “pip install”
