HumanitiesData

Did I say there were 138 indexed resources on humanitiesdata.com? Make that 318!

@MereSophistry No, because the title of the poem is "The Waste Land". Sorry to be that guy :)

Is it accurate to say, “TS Eliot’s The Wasteland is one of the most famous poems of all time?”

@MereSophistry How about "The Strength of Weak Ties?" Everyone should read that.

I saw this type of question from another discipline: What articles from 25 years ago or more would you recommend reading? (Pick your own discipline. Love respecting wisdom)

@_akpiper @LauraK_Nelson I just get a top 10 of ['philosophy', 'religion', 'theology', 'science', 'psychology', 'mysticism', 'idealism', 'metaphysics', 'teachings', 'sociology'], but that's with a model trained on U.S. periodicals 1900-1930. Choice of model matters w/ these constructs.

if the vector of King - Man + Woman = Queen, what does the vector of Philosophy - Hegel = ? Asking for @LauraK_Nelson.

@MereSophistry The Programming Historian does open review: github.com/programminghis… programminghistorian.org/en/reviewer-gu…

I have a few students who are looking for examples of peer review letters. Do you of any student examples that are publicly available?

@RyanMHorne Virtual environments I mean. I also have a couple of VMs, but they aren't related to this Tweet.

@RyanMHorne I have different VMs for different stacks. For example, I use a generic "text analysis" VM for most projects.

Question for the #DH hivemind: Do you create a new #python virtual environment for each new project, or just keep on using your default python? It seems to me safest to use a new environment each time, but that also seems a bit messy.

@scott_bot @Ted_Underwood @dtracy2 @ryancordell @unsworth Work by @pruett_jordan should be acknowledged if no one else has done already; he merged NYT bestsellers from 1931-2020 with references to matching volumes in HathiTrust. twitter.com/pruett_jordan/…

@scott_bot @Ted_Underwood @dtracy2 @ryancordell @unsworth Some of the data is accessible through the NYT API.

@DLib24 I try to sort rejections into three buckets: 1. Revise as soon as possible. 2. Abandon or use in some other way (such as a lesson plan or class assignment). 3. Let it sit for a few months and see how I feel. All 3s should eventually become 1s or 2s.

@joncgoodwin I would say there's no great analog because statisticians may not be known by name even when their methods are used very widely, whereas literary scholars tend to be named even when (sometimes especially when) their ideas are seen as bad or out of date.

A statistics blogger on Louis Menand's recent book about the Cold War notes that Menand refers to "now-obscure literature professors" like De Man and Trilling. Seemed a bit like calling Fisher a "now-obscure" statistician, but not quite right magnitude. But who would be?

@scott_bot A did a quick search and found that app.traveltime.com can decent looking generate drive-time maps. I don't know of one that mixes this capability with faceting by neighborhood data, but it sounds like a great idea if it doesn't exist.

@sarahebull How about @tanyaclement 's "‘A thing not beginning and not ending’: using digital tools to distant-read Gertrude Stein's The Making of Americans"? academic.oup.com/dsh/article-ab…

@GrubStreetWomen I wonder about this too. One question is how you'd feel if something awful went up in its place, which might be especially salient if a lot of people look at your site. In that case, you could take it down and pay for another year to display a closure message at that URL.

@scott_bot Are you looking for the smallest possible lidded vessel that you can pour boiling chicken broth into without cracking it? Call today to see if schmaltz jar is right for you.

@scott_bot This tweet brought to you by the official schmaltz jar. Do you have schmaltz in your fridge? If so, it's probably in that jar.

@benmschmidt @jeduardogonz Sounds right to me. This graph could easily suggest a mix of unrealistic expectations and bad work experiences. Some students might create those expectations on their own but profs still need to be good mentors on this front.

@jeduardogonz Don't know. But I think it would be fair to blame the professors if humanities PhDs are more likely to expect academic jobs than those in all those other fields?

@MereSophistry en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco_Dem…

Do the 60s, 70s, and 80s also have an event like the end of the 90s?

@jdicaglio Saw this through a mutual follow. I recommend searching the periodical ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment if you haven't already done that. academic.oup.com/isle/
