Writing an API is easy. Writing an API that is intuitive, idiomatic to the language, *and* incorporates the best of other tools is hard.

@BradleyPhilpot Do you think this floor is legal 😛

I asked an AI image generator to paint me some F1 cars. I’d like some #F1 tech analysts to rate the aero designs and give their verdict on the fastest AI F1 car! Please tag anyone you think should get involved 😅🏎️ ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #1:

@__mharrison__ @josh_wills Changes. For a really long time all data had to be loaded into memory, and your training job had no way to pick back up from saved state if it failed.

@oceankidbilly @josh_wills "changes" or "challenges"? 🤔

@pmhobson @michaelwaskom today paul chose violence

@michaelwaskom import seaborn.objects as pyplot

What style should the docs for the seaborn objects interface use? A: from seaborn.objects import * B: import seaborn.objects as so Bear in mind that this is a curated namespace.

@josh_wills hey josh I haven't tweeted in 10 months but I am coming out of retirement to tell you that this is bad and you should feel bad

@DataChomp @anachronistic @asenchi there’s a secret chicken sando at Expatriate now. Just sayin... pdxmonthly.com/eat-and-drink/…

Ranting about Kubernetes with @anachronistic has become a solid past time. :D

@ansate my teeth also hurt!

@oscargodson @BrukeGetachew Work stuff: my last name at stripe dot com. Non work stuff: DM me here!

@CMastication @cdubhland .@tixxit also rewrote xgboost for us 😃 we use tensorflow Java bindings in prod as well now. If starting from scratch I would look at github.com/microsoft/onnx…

@josh_wills @posco this is a perfect analogy because it seems like every industrial designer takes a crack at one in their career

@posco I'm pretty sure they do, yes.

Hive mind, what are the cool kids using for feature flags these days? I'm fighting the urge to write yet another one of these systems-- talk me down?

I was rooting for @simple until the very end. It was a company built with deeply kind, smart, empathetic people; I miss so many of you. Thanks @i2pi and @shamir_k for making it possible, and thanks to all of you who made those years at Simple so great.

@avibryant Same for me with this talk youtu.be/kmy-sfm3cC8 Not totally sure I would have a career in software without it.

I don't think I've posted much about this, but the 7 minute demo video of Dabble DB that I recorded in 2006, and the connections I made because people had watched it, completely launched my career and shaped the subsequent decade.

@chrisalbon @AngeBassa @tdhopper @ChickensintheRd possibly nostalgia talking: I’m not sure I’ve had ones better than from the public school cafeteria. They were so good.
