What a bunch of numpties

Yeah, but it's not gonna grow unless people use it...

Also, Lemmy's Scaled sorting algorithm (which everyone should be using, though I'm not sure it's the default), will up-weight posts from low subscriber count communities.

I reckon "polish american" means something like "culturally polish, but living permanently in america"

Beyond that, does it really matter? Labels are just shortcuts to give other a broad overview. Tell people what ever you want. You can always add more details later if you get to know them better.

Ask on !bulgaria@lemmy.world ?

edit: Or !bulgariaeu@lemmy.world ?

Yeah, I don't love it either. Has a weird after taste. Someone left a can at my house the other day..

I think Tooheys New is in the same boat for me, but not so much for the taste as that it's weirdly gassy. Like, it makes me burp in an unpleasant way.

I'm new south welsh, I've heard of it, but I don't think I've ever seen it, let alone had a go

Ahaha, shit, I forgot how bad that was.. Definitely Red tier.

This article is worth a read, despite the mildly obnoxious title: https://scribe.rip/https:/towardsdatascience.com/data-science-is-not-science-bb95d783697a

This. I've done a bit of all of it (science trained), and worked with others too. People with good science and stats backgrounds seem to have a better grasp of the pitfalls of data analysis. People with only software or data science background sometimes struggle with stats concepts.

Basically, it's easy to pick up enough coding and data viz skills by yourself if you understand the stats. But it's NOT easy to pick up statistics by yourself if you only understand coding and data viz.

Zipf's law is just a specific example of a power law. Other power laws exist for lots of different things, just with different exponents.

the jury seems out about cities. This paper suggests they don't follow a other distributions: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0264275124002592 , but this one suggests that they do: https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/reports/2013/12/on-city-size-distribution_g17a2442/5k3tt100wf7j-en.pdf - specifically it suggests they DO follow Zipf's law, within a given country. Inter-country differences are likely due to different developmental trajectories over time.

Looks like a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law

Are there open bugs/feature requests about it?

You can type the hashtag in the URL on the web, and follow it from there.

E.g. https://pixelfed.social/i/web/hashtag/urbanSketching

Isn't that pretty much all of their behaviour?

It seems like evidence that at least trump is not an outright russian asset though, right? He's just an idiot (and they probably have some dirt on him)

Yeah, I know, I meant to you.

What makes art good?

It's pleasant to see such a long post so full of good takes. Nice work!

It's absolutely fascinating. I was really enjoying watching it evolve. That's tapered off a lot now.

But I also find it really off-putting when people use it for meaningless illustrations that just reek of laziness. Especially so when the images are supposed to represent something meaningful, but are full of errors and nonsense. This is particularly the case when the illustrations accompany academic texts. Fucking gross.

Probably if we lived in a society that didn't inventivise doing meaningless, environmentally destructive shit for profit, then I might be more into it now.

No disagreeing, but do you have a "why" for that last sentence?
