#DataScience #Rstats 🚀 and #python 🐍 friends:

I am beyond excited 🥳 for two amazing projects.

First, @thinking_code and I have just begun a book with @OReillyMedia 📚

"Python and R for the Modern Data Scientist” 🥰 will attempt to bridge the gap between our communities

@sharlagelfand Love this — I’m getting some serious Anni & Josef Albers vibes

@snipd_app Is the fix for transcript syncing on podcasts w dynamic content available:

- on all mobile apps?
- old podcasts?

I get an out-of-sync transcript on a show from 10/2021 using Snipd v2.0.28, iOS 15.6.1

@TaperaTinashe @EmilyRiederer @vscode Tip ☝🏼

This:

$ ll

is an alias for:

$ ls -l

Execute

$ alias

to see a full list (there’s a boat load for git!).

Next-level Tip ☝🏼

Define =your own= aliases for common tasks, like git or API calls 🥳

[Rick Scavetta @Rick_Scavetta]

@TaperaTinashe @EmilyRiederer @vscode I agree, not using convenience features like keyboard shortcuts is not a big deal early on.

Unless the context of “why?” is clear, it’s a solution to a non-existent problem.

We all appreciate and adopt solutions more easily if we can compare before & after.

@PatrickBloniasz Good on you 👌🏼

@michael_nielsen The Century of Self
2002, Adam Curtis
4 part series

“… tells the untold and sometimes controversial story of the growth of the mass-consumer society. How was the all-consuming self created, by whom, and in whose interests?”

20 years on It’s the first docu to come to mind

[Rick Scavetta @Rick_Scavetta]

@EmilyRiederer @vscode I have to convince them keyboard shortcuts are good! But they also add to the cognitive load, so I only show them the most relevant, when appropriate, and summarize the most useful in a table for ref.

[Rick Scavetta @Rick_Scavetta]

@EmilyRiederer @vscode I find that new GUI-centric learners in any CLI-centric env really just don’t dig keyboard short-cuts.

They have no issue clicking and dragging their way through windows of folder or pages in a doc

@EmilyRiederer @RuPaul But seriously,

- Product & Project Mgmt,
- UX/UI, and,
- Design concepts** …

… would ideally come in front & center right at the outse

Not sure if that counts as advanced, but some will. Under-appreciated perhaps.

**e.g. the design process, software design patterns

@ljupc0 @dlbowman76 I loved this insightful talk from JuliaCon (2016) revisiting “The Two Cultures” over 50 years later.

@NotionHQ

Am I missing something here https://t.co/GXGDaavP1l

Can edit content: “… they will not be able to change the structure … sorts or filters.”

But guests with edit content permissions CAN change filters — they can see more than I want them to, or allowed to (privacy)

[Rick Scavetta @Rick_Scavetta]

@FilmicAesthetic Interesting idea!

Every #DataScience cohort I teach, at least one student chooses NLP with Arabic poetry for their capstone project — it has a substantial and diverse canon.

This is inspiring👌🏼

[Rick Scavetta @Rick_Scavetta]

"Me-We-Us" can also apply to the training structure of my courses:

1. Me - Individual learning
2. We - Whole-group experience
3. Us - 1:1 Personal mentoring

But to avoid both confusion with your use and We-Us ambiguity, I'll have to think of something as equally catchy.

@wirtzdan @facilschool

I ❤️ the Me-We-Us framework for facilitation.

I bet expert facilitators are tuned in, but as a naive reader, "We" and "Us" were ambiguous.

I took "We" for the whole group, and "Us" for a personal 1:1 meeting.

i.g. How I do eLearning classes 😅

@svpino Ahhh 🤦🏻‍♂️ “… which functionS could be … ” gotta pay attention

Now I see why it’s 0.75/1.00

In some MC quizzes I’d deduct points for wrong answers. If a student selects all answers the correct & incorrect sum to zero. They did not like that!! 😐

This makes more sense 💯

[Santiago @svpino]

Machine learning is a complex subject.

I'm always looking for shortcuts to learn more and stay in touch with the fundamentals.

Here is one of those. This is something that will help you keep up.
