  1. With help from folks at , I managed to put together an example of this:

  2. . If you're doing anything with compiled code (e.g. numpy) or graphics (e.g. matplotlib) conda is hands-down the way to go.

  3. Does anyone have an example of a configuration that uses containerized builds to cache conda environments between sessions?

  4. Seattle's and DC's at the same scale. Maybe hills & helmets aren't the problem?

  5. Idle thought for the day: we use 1-based indexing for years ("1 AD"), but 0-based indexing for hours ("12:00AM").

  6. That bittersweet feeling of seeing someone publish my old, half-formed idea: I wish I'd done it myself, but I'm glad they did it so well...

  7. Your periodic reminder that even git's creator thinks git is stupid

  8. scikit-learn style implementation of PCA with noisy and/or missing data: `pip install wpca`

  9. Overfitting: when you buy a new garage door opener, and then for the next three months the internet tries to sell you another one.

  10. The default Python .gitignore on now lists .ipynb_checkpoints – thanks !

  11. I just made the connection that PageRank was created by Larry *Page*. Clever name. Only took me 20 years to catch the pun.

    We (100+ contributors) gave away scikit-learn for free (with support) all we got was 2000+ citations, startups, & science

    Scientists have found evidence of a ninth planet—larger than Earth—in our solar system:

  14. . Would it be possible to add .ipynb_checkpoints to the default Python .gitignore file in new repositories?

  15. Today I'm implementing a linear-algebra-heavy algorithm in Python 3.5... the new matmul operator is life-changing.

  16. The morning view from is my favorite

  17. I added a section to my Locality Preserving Projection example, showing improvements over PCA for noisy data

  18. I just released a lightweight -compatible implementation of Locality Preserving Projections Enjoy!

  19. It just occurred to me that I pronounce "git" with a hard 'g' and "gif" with a soft 'g'. I don't know what to believe anymore.
