I've created a small Shiny app to demo my ShortForm package--it lets you select some of the parameters for the included algorithms and see how they effect the runtime and final output with a sample dataset. Check it out! 4kve1c-anthony0raborn.shinyapps.io/ShinyShortFo... #rstats #shiny

Can transit succeed in suburbs? The common wisdom is no—but Brampton says that’s wrong. “With a population of about 700,000, Brampton has 226,500 bus riders on an average weekday.” But how, you ask? By investing, and making transit good: frequent and reliable. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

How Did This Suburb Figure Out Mass Transit?

Transit ridership is off the charts in Brampton, Ontario, despite its typical low-density suburban layout. Here’s how the city got residents to get on the bus.

Tried a maple cornbread recipe--real easy and turned out pretty good! With Canadian syrup it wasn't as sweet as I expected (good for my tastes, but not my wife's) so I may try using more syrup next time. Also yellow instead of white corn meal 😬 #baking www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/mapl...

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

I lost my job. USDA Forest Service.

My probation was up next week.

I did everything right. I took a GS-7 role with a master’s degree just to get my foot in the door. I spent years doing seasonal fieldwork for low pay, working in remote places, gaining experience, and building skills, just for a chance at a permanent position. I was about to be a GS-9. I wrote NEPA reports. I conducted field surveys. I worked fire support. I dedicated myself to this work because I believed in it.

Public lands don’t manage themselves. The wildlife, watersheds, and forests we protect don’t just stay protected without people on the ground making it happen. My coworkers and I took on that responsibility, often in places most people never think about but that matter more than they know.

And now? Just like that, I’m out.

Edit: I’ve consistently supported progressive policies and have voted Democrat in every national and local election since I was 18. I do appreciate folks asking, I have some coworker having a serious 'leopards ate my face' moment right now.

Wow, what a race! Nearly 10,000 people participating across 3 distances. I tried a negative split for the first time and it led to me smashing my PR for the 10k by over two minutes! 51:49 final time. Now time to veg out for the rest of the day. #running #garmin #garmininstinct

Interval day! First two intervals were pretty good, 7:33/mi pace for both, but the third one was a bit slower at 8:09/mi. Two minute rests between six minute intervals felt a little short but I'm happy with the effort. #running #garmin #garmininstinct
