These are not sciences, since not all of those follow the scientific method.
Defining moral philosophy as science is laughable.

@ImperfectIdea
I mean, there's a whole branch of philosophy dedicated to defining science and how it works.
If you work in science you should at least know what that is about; this is my opinion.
In my opinion, if you don't know that stuff then you are a bad scientists and I have a low esteem of you.

It's what I consider the base of the scientific method.
While you can do science without knowing the scientific method, I do believe it is proper to know what it is and how it works in order to conduct good research.

GitHub Actions seems to encourage you to use actions made by random people for simple tasks, referred to only by their github username and repository name.
What happens if that person deletes the repository containing their action? Is this node's leftpad all over again?

I've just discovered something really handy!
In Jupyter Lab, if you make a markdown cell starting with a header, an arrow toggle appears which can hide all the cells underneath, up to the next header!

Privacy Redirect (browser extension)...

Redirects:
Twitter ----> Nitter
YouTube ----> Invidious
Instagram ----> Bibliogram
Google Maps ---> OpenStreetMap.

Great examples of better everyday links---->less their link$ and redirect$ to them, less tracking etc
(less money and control to them).

Might not be compatible with all browser / version but modelling from this is possible and a great start (code on github
https:////github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect)

Allows toggling all redirects on/off and more.

Online communities are deeply interconnected and interdependent.

@jdfoote argues that systems theory can help us to study interdependencies, and that online platforms have the sort of data that is enabling really exciting new research. https://blog.communitydata.science/a-systems-approach-to-studying-online-communities/

You don't have to do everything in your head. We have paper for a reason.

For me, this is the best method to solve #quadratic #equations (better than completing squares, general quadratics formula, factorization, ...)

It's easy to understand, it works with $a \neq 1$ and it has meaning.

It's based on change of variables and #symmetry

Something else associated with squiggles.

In my reading on the use of differential Privacy in the US census, it's surprising to me how much controversy there was around the revelation that pre-DP census data was known to be inaccurate and biased. But because users had nothing to compare it to, they simply accepted it as ground truth. The proposal to use DP shattered their false belief by bringing the uncertainty to the forefront and allowing one to quantify it, rather than having the bias be confidential

Hello! My name is Colin and I am a mathematician.

Today is the birthday of Maria Gaetana Agnesi, who wrote the first book about integration *and* differentiation. If you need help making difficult things simpler, give me a shout -- I'm usually happy to help.
