What is a 'memecoin' anyway? Ryan Broderick in the Garbage Day newsletter describes it succinctly:
"Crypto firms want to monetize the very concept of a meme. Which is as insidious as it is extremely lame."

Loath to admit it, but 95% of my hair product choices are driven by whether it smells good.

This feels like beating a final boss in an AI game.
Like the screen should pop up with job postings for becoming an AI engineer at Google if you can type a search that stumps their AI process.

I used a #huggingface zero shot classifier to figure out the sentiment of Hamlet's dialogue using #polars and Gen Alpha slang. I have no regrets but I do feel really old. #databs #dataviz #python

Don’t think of it as whether the data has error or not. Most of the time it will.
Think of it as whether the error in the data will cause you to make a different decision than if the data was perfectly clean. Most of the time it won’t.

One of the biggest tips I have for anyone doing data analysis, especially data from people, is to spend some time drilling down to the most granular data and just looking at individual records. You will find the craziest shit you never imagined and your analysis will be better for it #databs

When you are working on a data side project, do you usually start with the problem to solve and find the data to answer it?
Or do you start with the dataset and go down the rabbit hole to see what you find?

Telegraphs and Morse code have always been intrinsically linked in my mind. Reading "The Information" by James Gleick @around.com and learning there were at least half a dozen early iterations for conveying language through an electrical wire is fascinating.

One of the biggest differentiators I've seen in good senior/leadership folks in tech is that yes, they have next-level skills but also, they SHARE THEM IN A CLEAR AND OBVIOUS WAY.

If you are passing an array from JSON you have to use UNNEST in order for SQL to read it in an IN statement.
I'm sure someone will be like "ThAt'S sO oBviOuS".
And I'm here to tell you - it was not.

A corollary: if there is coding shown in a movie/TV show, I am def pausing it to see the code.
If you're coding near me at a coffee shop, there is a 100% chance I'm going to have to try and see what you're building. I don't make the rules.

The Gini coefficient is the standard way to measure inequality, but what does it mean, concretely? I made a little visualization to build intuition:
