Had an appointment at CVS for #COVID vaccine but they called to say my insurance wouldn’t cover it, and I’d have to pay full price. 1/3

I’m reading a bit of Edsger Dijkstra writing. Stuff that’s 50 years old. This mofo is a salty bastard but he’s full of good ideas that are as germane to data science coding in 2023 as it was to whateverthefuck he was doing in 1970.

Answering “What’s wrong with this data file?” is pretty much my top skill. Except that I tend to find more problems than they really wanted to know. #otherPeoplesData

Kid went to see Barbie & Oppenheimer last night. Both theaters were crowded with 1750 ppm CO2. Wear a tight-fitting N95 mask, or (like me) stay home. #covid

what are folks doing that hung on to twitter accounts to prevent squatting now that it's getting even more stupid as X? hang onto account or just delete?

🫤 Unfortunately, I was affected by last week's layoffs at @Posit along with a handful of other talented colleagues.
🖤 I’m bummed, but so grateful for the 5½+ yrs w/ my incredible team.
🔍 Taking some time to recoup, but will be on the hunt for new opportunities soon!

I genuinely and deeply enjoy going to conferences but I would never defend them on the level that some people defend them, without evidence and against all contextual impact claiming live synchronous confs are the ONLY WAY to have a scientific and intellectual community. Wildly disrespectful to the majority of humanity that doesn't get to do this and never did imho
