I didn’t notice it much this year. I think the markets have moved on. It’s been years since rainbow Facebook profile pics and now the right is having surging influence. Companies will jump onto homophobia if that’s cool in the next few years.

A short black. Sometimes chocolate fudge ice cream or something, but rarely.

Go to bed early, sleep well, wake up for a whole new day feeling refreshed.

you often need to buy it from other countries. For instance, Russia. Not great.

Yeeeeah, I wouldn’t worry about that. Sure we (Australia) are conservative with our fears of mining and exporting uranium, especially with the Cold War and reactor whoopsies around the world. But historically it doesn’t take much for us to go down on an ally.

Just let us finish unloading all our coal off to the worst polluting nations first, then we’ll crack the top-shelf stuff.

Ah, we were taught to avoid the NIV as it was like the Merrium-Webster of translation; a bit more adapted for the modern Pentecost, so obviously it would be lenient compared to traditional translations.

You shall make no idols to yourselves; and you shall not set up for yourselves graven images, or a memorial pillar. And you shall not set up any image of stone in your land in order to bow down to it. For I am Jehovah your God.

He went pretty ape shit about the golden cow—as believable any part of that story goes. Catholics seem to be all about idoloc knick-knacks and getting all stabby and controlling over them… Like, the opposite of what a Christian is meant to do.

Unfortunately it depends on who’s doing it. Who’s creatively in charge and what freedom they get.

At the moment, it’s reliably bad. Even when the vision is good, it’s dominated by invested poo poo.

I really loved your comment. I tried to reply to you, but obv couldn’t. Then tried to PM you, but couldn’t figure it out or I just can’t.

It was really insightful for both perspective on myself and on the community.

Go on…

Just curious if you can.

Oh, I’ve never looked into it, I just noticed it sometimes. I don’t say anything harmful or nasty, just unpopular so I expect downvote burial even before I hit the post button haha. I figure that’s how it’s always meant to work. Downvotes handle dipshit remarks, mods handle malicious ones. But seems entire conversations with multiple people get removed because, despite all the positive upvotes and people involved in a good ol’ fashion discussion, a mod has a different personal opinion and it all goes. Even the off-hand comments connected to that thread.

I think it’s worse here.

“The grass is blue.”

“No, the grass is green. Here is a source.”

“Oh.”

“The grass is blue.”

“No, the grass is green. Here is a source.”

“Bro, your own source says it’s the chemicals in grass that make it green LOL.”

“That’s correct.”

“So you think just because it appears green from the chemicals, it’s green?”

“Yes. It’s certainly not blue.”

“Actually without the chemicals it would be translucent which would be reflective of the sky, making it blue like how the ocean does.”

“Sure. Except there’s chemicals that make it green instead.”

“I don’t see how you’re not understanding how stupid that is. It’s not the grass that’s green.”

“And in your analogy it’s not the grass that’s blue.”

“You clearly don’t understand science and I pity you. I won’t waste any more of my time. Good day, sir.”

That’s a tough question in analytics lol

You mean mathematical examples? Or like examples of analytical outcomes? Keeping in mind the more analytics-heavy, the more it involves lots of sources, patterns, variables, and scenarios, but I could provide just a single example.

Edit: Oh, wait. If you’re referring to just averages… In forecasting I prefer, as a minimum, to do weighted averaging. This is where I’ll have a certain time period of cumulated historical data that provides a more stable base, however more weight is applied the more recent (relevant) the data is. This shows a more realistic average than a single snapshot of data that could be an outlier.

But speaking of outliers, I’d prefer to also apply weight to outlying data points that may skew the output, especially if sample size is low. Like 1, 2, 2, 76, 3, 2. That 76 obviously skews the “average”.

Above that, depending on what’s required, I’ll use a proper method. Like if someone wants to know on average how many trucks they need a day, I’ll utilise Poisson instead to get the number of trucks they need each day to meet service requirements, including acceptable queuing, during the day. Like how the popular Erlang formulas utilise Poisson distribution and can kind of handle 90% of BAU S&D loading in day to day operations with a couple clicks.

That’s a basic example, but as data cleanliness increases, those better steps can be taken. Could be like 25 average last Wed vs. 20 weighted average over last month vs. 16 actually needed if optimised correctly.

Oh, and if there’s data on each truck’s mileage, capacity, availability, traffic density in areas over the day, etc…obbioisly it can be even more optimised. Though I’d only go that far if things were consistent/routine. Script it, automate it, set and forget and have the day’s forecast appear in the warehouse each morning.

And yet such simple things are often incredibly hard to get done because of poor data governance or systems.

It’s not. But it is.

It’s true. I didn’t realise how much a piece of shit I was until- Waaaait a minute…

Did you just assume binary genders?

How dare you!

I miss those days…

If your parents wouldn’t let you see it at 12-years old, it’s too much for Lemmy to handle. Pearls will be clutched; soapboxes mounted.
