@Deebster Very interesting. While I was reading, I always thought whether I could use regex. Now here it is. Thanks a lot!

@Deebster I also found this website pretty cool to help me visualize what a regex does. https://regex-vis.com/

Calling all data enthusiasts: ever heard of Orange (https://orangedatamining.com/)? Recently stumbled upon this tool for data mining and machine learning. It's Python-based and completely open-source. Sounds pretty good to me? Any users here?

YouTube is telling me to learn rust again. I'm almost sold on the idea of building programs that last (currently writing mostly python) and programs that is reliable and fast (used to write C/C++ but I was not good enough to truly appreciate it).

Now the question is, should I learn Rust (amount a gazillion things I want to do these days)? 🧐

Radar shows heavy rain is beginning to fall over northern Baja California, southern California and Arizona as approaches

@zoom_earth This is unheard of in southern California. 🧐 I trained a Deep Learning forecast model for western US with 34 years of historical data and it has never seen a tropical storm. I'm wondering how miserably it would fail.

For years, people have been getting and heeding the advice of adding links to comments on LinkedIn, rather than including them in the main post. The supposed reasoning is that LinkedIn penalizes external links and your post will receive less views if it has links to content outside the LinkedIn platform.

I explain why this widespread behavior bothers me so much.

@axbom curious how the penalty decision came to be.

@axbom The Hootsuite experiment explains a lot. Thanks for sharing.

~one billion
~1,000,000,000

That's how many parking spaces there are in the USA. For every car? About 4 empty spaces... just sitting there, not absorbing the rain, making flooding worse, making cities hotter as they bake in the summer sun.

Our built environment and laws bend over backwards to make driving the only viable transportation option in nearly every imaginable context.

You need to pay for healthcare, but almost never parking.

(Pointing this out makes libertarian heads explode.)

@isaaccp @futurebird From Slate: In 2013 the lead designer of SimCity was asked what, in his team’s measurements of real-world cities, produced the biggest surprise. “Parking lots,” he responded. “We were originally just going to model real cities, but we quickly realized there were way too many parking lots in the real world and that our game was going to be really boring if it was proportional in terms of parking lots.
