  1. RE: hachyderm.io/@jimgar/115943482

    Or maybe you want groovy with a slightly harder edge!?

    Indonesian-Dutch band Nusantara Beat's debut LP came out in November. A groovy blend of psych, rock, and Indonesian folk.

    nusantarabeat.bandcamp.com/alb

    “Nusantara means all the islands that make up Indonesia. It’s an old word from when the kings wanted to unite the whole archipelago. Today, it still means unity, many cultures coming together as one. So, when we say Nusantara Beat, we mean the rhythm and music from the Indonesian archipelago, mixed into one sound.”

  2. During this week's Data Science team CPD session I realised that a bit of old R code I wrote could be streamlined, and the base R to Python Polars comparison continued.

  4. I must wash my mouth out with soap!!

    In my latest blog post about zsh I erroneously stated that while VS Code supports changes to the terminal, RStudio doesn't.

    That's a load of horse shit. Of course it supports it, and it takes all of 3 clicks to make zsh the default terminal, including with your Oh My Zsh setup etc.

    Post updated to show how it's done.

  10. So long, Jim Gardner! Signing off on tonight’s 6:00 broadcast after 46+ years on Philadelphia’s Action News. A true mensch, he said good-bye not by blowing his own horn but calling for the defense of news journalism.
    Wishing you happy trails and new horizons, Jim!

  11. Breathe HR quantifies requested leave days as "working time lost" which tells you a lot I think

  12. I see that “AI psychosis” has already lost its original meaning. People have AI psychosis now when they:

    - Don’t share my view of acceptable risk
    - Don’t check code as rigorously as they used to
    - Rely on LLMs to get anything done
    - Don’t have a good understanding of codebases anymore

    This is reductive, but psychosis is more like experiencing a break in reality. I know it can be scary to see programmers you know doing things that are riskier, technically worse than before, seemingly deskilling, or even morally inconsistent. But psychosis? Maybe we reserve that for people experiencing paranoid delusions of being assassinated thanks to Grok’s catgirl avatar?

    Anyone know of a function dependency graph visualiser for Python that does the same thing(ish) as foodwebr for R? github.com/lewinfox/foodwebr

    Everything I've found so far do module dependency graphs (e.g. github.com/gauge-sh/tach), which are cool, but I'd really like to get a graph of **function** dependencies, to see more finely "who calls who".

  17. A little known fact about the R programming language. People think that it’s named as a playful take on S, or the names of the creators.

    Actually, its the two ‘r’s from transgender, which when combined, form the powerful uppercase ‘R’. Ihaka and Gentleman knew that there would always be trans users and contributors and they were equally as important as everyone else. Maybe more important (they thought trans people might have secret magical powers that could one day be combined to overthrow the Galactic Empire).

    They also considered naming it T, for obvious reasons both alphabetical and otherwise. But they felt this might take away from the other trans programming language of the day, forTran
