To run with the notion of sparking discussion beyond Mastodon/bots/etc
Anyone here into #econometrics, #businessintelligence, #datavisualization, or #processmanagement?
How about #openbci, #neurobio, or #neuropharma? No?
Maybe #bash, #zsh, #vim, or #shell?
#rails, #ruby, #nodejs, or #python?
Maybe some #golang, #crystal, or #elixir?
Well, can always default to #infosec and #malware
MASTODON HOMIES WANTED. APPLY WITHIN
@Secstodon Here is a ? of preference: You're going to play with some unexplored python project from github. How do you prefer to isolate it? venv? pyenv? virtualenv? docker? vagrant? ___?
@ryanmaynard depends how much i trust the author :-p
At minimum, virtualenv/venv
More likely a full VM/Vagrant
@ryanmaynard sign me up for #golang and #vim
@ryanmaynard what is econometrics?
@Secstodon In full candor, just a quirkly/bs term to increase consulting rates.
Mainly just an amaglam statistical methods (distributions, regression analysis, etc) to explore the economics of a given system. I use it when analyzing processes at SMBs.
@ryanmaynard very cool! I feel like there's so much I don't know and never enough time to learn it all in
@Secstodon Same here! But I try to view it as a good thing (the fun is never over). :)
@ryanmaynard
I'm interested in learning more about those topics, but I have basically zero experience with them
@ryanmaynard how about #emacs, #clojure, #julia-lang, and #machinelearning?
@mindbat Speaking of #machinelearning, I'm fairly certain a non-trivial amount of users are Markov chain bots. lol
@ryanmaynard ha, maybe. thankfully we have the Mute and Block buttons for those ;)
@ryanmaynard I'm always up for all things shell, #ruby, #elixir, and especially #vim (check my GitHub profile).
@ryanmaynard Please yes, a sign of intelligent life! Are you still around. My day job is CEO of a five-person startup. Was just about to post on developing better #processes to improve usability on #FOSS projects.
@ryanmaynard I could go for a slice of #python, or #netsec #infosec any day.
