@juliasilge @gkountourides "Clean Code" is also very nice.

I've been using #AnnotatedEquations in my recent papers. I think it really adds to the readability and understanding of the math.
Here are some examples. It uses #tikz in #latex.
Let me know if you like it. Happy for any feedback.
@ambulocetus In a gift-of-the-magi twist, the human form *is* a vet, but has wounds that can only be treated by wolf licks.
The solution is to wear two fursuits simultaneously and bite every villager who does not bite themselves.
#ttrpg idea: you are all pets/familiars, looking after your hapless humans. The humans think they're the protagonists, but they're only alive because of your diligent and adorable work.

I have this notion that the power of data science comes from unifying narrative, math, and code. (narrative is a proxy for real-world issues and phenomena). Expertise in just two of the three is very limiting. Been working on a #Python book to explore this more thoroughly. If you want to take a peek, here is the link:

Let me know what you think. Three new chapters will be released on Thursday.
@nerdparker I don't need the GM, but I would love to see one with a different theme.
@obi The (apparent) source, as well as the URL they want me to go to, are at disneyplus.com.
I know enough to search rather than clicking on a link. There I found the answer to the question, which is, of course, ads:

Also, NC-17 would be a great name for a droid.
I got an email, which appears legit, from Disney+:

Disney+ now requires additional information from the primary account holder, including your birthdate and what best describes your gender. To avoid any interruption to your streaming, please update your account with this information before December 8, 2022.

I can understand the birthdate, what with all the new NC-17-rated Star Wars content coming out, but why would they need a gender?
@s_gruppetta @raymondlesley Can you give an example where the behavior is different?
1. The end-of-semester "work on your final project" days where I do less "teaching" and the students do more learning.
2. More people from the outside world are discovering Mastodon.
3. All assignments are ready for one of my classes.

Here's my take on the Athena BB from Martin Evans' "Space Battleship Hachiman" line.

@s_gruppetta @raymondlesley What's the difference between calling a class and calling its initializer?
Also, if range is a class, shouldn't it start with an upper case letter?
