thomasottio, to emacs

Ok, so I installed #emacs on my Macbook. I'm trying to learn #lisp so what do I do now?

🦌 🔦

thomasottio,

@dekkzz76 Thanks for this. How easy is it to learn and then migrate to ? Is the difference like Py2.7 vs 3 or something like Py 3.7 and 3.11?

thomasottio,

@dekkzz76 Thanks for clarification. I read that elisp reads the entire file into it's buffer instead of line by line. Not sure if that's the case with but for my use cases, that's not a problem.

thomasottio,

@ksaj @dekkzz76 Thanks you two! I'm going to experiment with clisp and write a simple stormwater runoff routine. Just to test and understand function structure.

thomasottio, to Excel

"In the end, I keep coming back to to do the heavy lifting for my calculations outside of my machine learning life. For everything else, I use . Why? Because Excel and Python let me be fast and productive. That's all that matters in the end and my clients don't care."

"We lost the Internet. It’s now run by large corporations that don’t give a shit about you. You live or die by the algorithm and they occasionally elevate one of us to superstar status just to make us believe we matter."

thomasottio, to climate

Understanding the soil is part of building resilience and we need to brace ourselves for the coming heat waves, droughts, and climate disasters. We need to fight with all our might to slow down and turn the tide of the war.

    The dashed bands on this graph are the 2 std deviations from the mean temperature. In 2022 and 2023, the surface temp of the North Atlantic was considerably outside them.

    This is it folks. This is the environmental red line. This is a that we can't ignore any longer.

    Woot! I got featured on OkDoomer.io with my latest article!

    "We can start by learning about composting. We can start a small garden and grow tomatoes, beans, or whatever you like to supplement our dinners. Save those seeds and trade them with like-minded friends and other climate change fighters."

    thomasottio,

    @stevensanderson In some ways R is more elegant than Python.

    You know what’s even more amazing than an AI generated headshot?

    A professionally taken headshot.

    By a freelancer who knows what the fuck they’re doing and will make it their professional mission to represent the best version of you.

    Support photographers.

    They’re worth the money.

    And they won’t make you look like a soulless carbon copy.

    thomasottio,

    @Daojoan 100% agree!
