🧑‍🏫💻 Will chalkboards survive in the digital world? We were surprised to see how useful this old-fashioned medium proved to be during our #DHSpringSchool — workshop leaders were so eager to use it for quick explanations 💁 Here Artjoms Şeļa is asking the participants to rate their lunch at @unipotsdam’s Mensa and immediately plots the distribution with chalk (to end up with a nice Gaussian)

You can tell apart iambic and trochaic meters just by measuring the frequency of ONE word (a single-character one!). At least in Czech, where it's not easy to do iambic poetry without adding monosyllabic words at the start of the line… @artjomshl.bsky.social explains the relation between the frequencies and meters in poetry (as part of the stylometry workshop at #DHSpringSchool)

Jan Rybicki: You can count many things in films—like dead bodies💀🪦 That alone can be a good proxy for genre.
If there’s one, it’s a love story that ends badly💔
If there are two, it’s a love story that ends even worse💔💔
Three to six? A crime story 🔍 🕵️‍♀️
A hundred? That’s Rambo💥
