@rcsaxe @EricESeverson So just to clarify, it is a multi-layer perceptron? You are having it essentially rank a pack? Does it have any notion of order then encoded? Is your next approach to implement an RNN on the data? Any interest in a collaborator?

@randyzwitch Not going to lie, we've been using this package for about 4 years at Dick's Sporting Goods, and it's awesome. We've had to make minimal updates since you stopped supporting. Thanks for creating a package that made alot of people's jobs better at our company too!

@ChannelFireball I am getting this error when attempting to checkout on the store. Any idea when it will be resolved? I am looking to get some cards before next weekend and want to be sure they will be here in time.

@ajlvi Do you have these number available in a trended view somewhere easy? Just kinda interested to see if there has been any changes in velocity over time.

@hadleywickham I installed the Dev version of dbplyr from GitHub and it actually looks like it's behind the one on CRAN? 1.2.1.9001 on GitHub; 1.2.2 on CRAN. Either way the issue is the same for both versions, I will open an issue. Thanks for the quick response!

[Matt Falcioni @MattFalcioni]

@hadleywickham Using dbplyr with BigQuery, is there a way to cast an int as a string? As.character uses CAST...TEXT when should be CAST...STRING. Tried to write CAST() directly into mutate and R yelled about "as". Thoughts?

@MtGMatthias @DasDzy @sickofit In addition, the education requirements you see in postings are typically themselves a filtering system. Basically if someone sees that line as the only reason not to apply and doesn't, we probably didn't want them anyway.

[Matt Falcioni @MattFalcioni]

@MtGMatthias @DasDzy @sickofit That continuous learning is a quality I find to be a common one amongst competitive Magic players, so it would be something that would spark my interest in an applicant. The challenge is getting past the HR filtering systems.

We have an entry level Data Scientist opening on our eCommerce DS team here at Dick's Sporting Goods! Growing team, awesome city (Pittsburgh), and amazing campus. https://t.co/QBto1BrOHH … @NewDataSciJobs

[Matt Falcioni @MattFalcioni]

@BecomingDataSci @NewDataSciJobs Will do, thanks a bunch!

[Matt Falcioni @MattFalcioni]

@BecomingDataSci I know you've created exposure for entry DS positions before. I have no experience required position open is there somewhere I can post it that your followers will see it?

@EternalCardGame Got stuck in a draft game today. Button said "waiting" but I kept getting the "running out of time" animation on my avatar. Eventually had to concede for my 3rd loss :(.

[Matt Falcioni @MattFalcioni]

@RubinZoo @strong_sad I watched this happen. I believe you said something to effect of "I'm not worried unless I go to 3."

[Matt Falcioni @MattFalcioni]

@EternalCardGame I think there is a bug with Finest Hour where you cannot cast it on your opponent's turn when you control no creatures. I just played a game where I wanted to use it to break an Aegis and there were no stops in my opponent's turn.

@mtg_lee @Wizards_Help Going to put this out there b/c players like this asking for refunds is I imagine part of the reason why real issues probably don't get refunded as much as they should. And the BM "disconnect".

[Matt Falcioni @MattFalcioni]

@PVDDR @BasicMountain @BenS8528 Implying that removing limited from the PT probably results in less people playing limited, which definitely would hurt Wizards bottom line than slight declines in Twitch viewership.

[Matt Falcioni @MattFalcioni]

@PVDDR @BasicMountain @BenS8528 This argument does seem to be "people like playing limited, and there is more value to getting people to play rather than getting more people to watch". I think there is some credence to this view. It's definitely not a simple calculation as was originally suggested by Jeff.

@ryenarussillo What should I be able to dumbbell curl before I can reasonably wear a cutoff or man tank to the gym?
