A crash course/review of doing statistics in Python instead of R.

I recently spent some time translating my knowledge for a lot of data processing and stats work from R back to Python as I'll be rotating in a Python lab this term. I made three references which I'm posting here in case they're helpful for anyone else:

TIL: There is a cursed color in the Kodak ProPhoto RGB color space which, when converted to sRGB using pre-August-2020-Security-Update Android's image conversion routines, causes an integer overflow and a crash due to a rounding error. Some dude accidentally created an image (https://www.flickr.com/photos/gaurav_agrawal/48746079687/) which contains the cursed color on a single pixel. In 2020 if you set this image as your desktop on a Google or Samsung device, the device would brick & lose all onboard data https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXKvwPjCGnY

It was such a busy day that I almost forgot.. 8 years ago, on Nov 21, I defended my PhD dissertation. #PhDone anniversary. Still recall the celebration organized by my PIs and lab mates . Time flies!

One of our fantastic #personality students at UC Davis #Psychology is organizing a #symposium for #ARP2023 in Evanston, IL next July showcasing LGBTQIA2S+ researchers. If you identify as LGBTQUA2S+, please reach out to him on Twitter or email (or me on here if you prefer).

Also please boost! This is a fantastic effort by a wonderful early career scholar!

Something I'm really going to miss about the bird site is the ability to save tweets directly to my notetaking software. That was incredibly useful. Hopefully, #Readwise creates the equivalent for Mastodon soon.

"On Becoming Athletic In My 50s": https://clivethompson.medium.com/becoming-athletic-in-my-50s-a8181ee403d

After having a *thoroughly* terrible time in gym during high school ...

... for the next three decades I avoided all sports and formal exercise -- indeed, I regarded athletic folks who *did* play sports and exercise with dank suspicion, lol

Then I discovered long distance cycling

... and got SUPER into it

Now I go on 450-mile rides just for the hell of it

#cycling

Becoming Athletic In My 50s - Clive Thompson - Medium

For my entire life, I was allergic to sports and exercise. Then I fell in love with long-distance cycling. “Becoming Athletic In My 50s” is published by Clive Thompson.
