Real conversation. I'm looking around for Alan Funt. I can't even imagine their reaction if it had been an octothorpe. [1]

#aggressive #punctuation #trigger #ellipsis #octothorpe #ampersand #hyphen #caret #parentheses #brackets #braces #asterisk

[1] Why yes, Firefox spellchecker, when I typed "octothorpe" I clearly really meant to type "#clotheshorse".

In Safari, tabbing to a non-editable element destroys the current selection range.

That's bad enough, but get this -- the reset has *already happened* when the `focus` event fires, so we can't snapshot the data because it's already lost. And yet the resulting `selectionchange` event **hasn't** fired yet, so we can't use that event to filter-out the change.

Are you fucking kidding me??

#javascript #selection #caret

Writing #javascript to handle #caret browsing is interesting.

Since `keydown` only fires for targets that can be `activeElement`, the event target from caret navigating plain text is always <body>.

However you can identify which element contains the caret, by evaluating the range data, which you can also do from `selectionchange` events.

And get this -- Safari still fires those events, even though it doesn't support caret browsing ... because it actually does, it just doesn't show the caret!

⚠️ Be aware when you use xgboost in #rstats.

I was having trouble with constant performance measures when passing case weights (through #caret) in [0; 1]. Now, I am passing integer case weights and it seems to work fine.

#MedStatGoe

@sharoz I do have concerns about how easy it is to produce bad analyses with #python.

But I feel similarly about #rstats packages like #caret - you don't need to know what a classifier is, in order to train one.

This might be controversial, but we need to ask whether making it so easy is a good thing; and whether there is an argument to be made for building-in a small degree of difficulty.

Far from gatekeeping, it would be a measure against poor analyses that might cause actual harm.

Worknote: Caret auf meinem Chromebook erkunden

Heute (und vermutlich auch in den nächsten Tagen) wird es auf diesen Seiten etwas ruhiger zugehen, denn ich habe mittlerweile mein Chromebook soweit getuned, daß ich es langsam produktiv einsetzen kann. Und diese Spielerei kostet natürlich Zeit, vor allem, da die Bedienung (vor allem, die vielen Sonderzeichen auf der Tastatur zu finden) noch etwas ungewohnt für mich ist. http://blog.schockwellenreiter.de/2022/07/2022072701.html #Caret #Chromebook #Texteditor #Webworking #Markdown

Nach den Installationsorgien der letzten Tage, ein Teil fehlte mir noch, um mein Chromebook für mich wirklich nutzbar zu machen: Ein Texteditor, der ohne Ansehen der darunterliegenden Programmier- oder Auszeichungssprachen alles frißt, und dem es völlig egal ist, ob die Datei aus dem Linux-Unterbau meines Chromebooks, aus dem nativen Dateisystem oder aus Googles Cloud kommt. http://blog.schockwellenreiter.de/2022/07/2022072602.html #Caret #Texteditor #Chromebook
