I helped write a thing which crunches multiple millions of numbers, do I get to call myself a Big Data Scientist now?

SIP/WebRTC call-via-personal-site #tabdump:
When using the display: table
trick to move elements around, beware that Opera+FF require the fake-table element to also have table-layout: fixed
set in order for descendant img { max-width: 100% }
to work. As pointed out by Scott Anderson #css #responsive
Having a go at making Sumendi’s leche frita (fried milk). Just put the mix in the fridge, pretty sure the consistency is perfect, but I’ll find out for sure tomorrow!
Friday’s #wondermark strip perfectly expresses point-scoring as unproductive nonsense cc @brennannovak:
@sandeepshetty sure! gist.github.com/barnabywalters/7863676 — included the basic functions plus the convenience class I use and a little demo. Very specific to chronological post storage/indexing, and very much in flux. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts about it.
@sandeepshetty thanks! I’ve wanted to plot tag usage over time for a while now to see if there are any interesting patterns. I’m not using doctrine any more, in fact I’m not even using a SQL database for indexing until I really need one — data stored in yaml files, indexed by a csv file in ~210 lines of code — see also waterpigs.co.uk/notes/4TQNY2
When I post a note, #taproot adds one to the week counter for each tag, then I have an endpoint which makes that data into an SVG.
New in #taproot: tag listing page waterpigs.co.uk/tags with sparklines of per-week usage over the last year
What’s the highest-order parody (parody of a parody of a…) ever created?
Lots of good, if a little bizarre, #gurdy playing in this video (fr):
New in #taproot: latest 3 articles and location of last checkin/location post on the homepage — hopefully some useful/interesting context.
Next: mobile-focused homepage design.
@chloeweil great article and great work implementing #POSSE! Interested in your choice to use a database for performance reasons, was that prompted by actual experience or just the cited help thread? fwiw I’m having no performance problems storing >2000 notes in flat files with a CSV file index
@benwerd any sauce-making tips you’d care to share? And yep, @doublebill is great — met some new friends and seen some interesting/bizarre films at previous ones, hoping to continue the trend!
Second attempt at satay chicken tonight — peanut sauce was too watery (coconut milk was less thick somehow) but the marinade was much better. Need to get it (and maybe chocolate mousse) up to scratch for when I host my #revolution themed @doublebill!
Unsure whether you’re using the <article>
element correctly? Wonder no longer, there is a tool to help you out: waterpigs.co.uk/services/test-article #html #web #dev
New in this version of #taproot:
The local maximum has been overcome, for now. There is still much to do.
And with that, a new release of #taproot was unleashed upon the web.
Which restaurants serve delicious food, freely give out their recipes and link to their guests’ personal URLs from a beautiful website?
Trick question: there is only sumendi.is
If you get the chance, go!
Brett Slatkin I like this tip because it creates a system which tends towards a lack of email being sent :)
When people drop into your IRC channel to ask whether it’s possible to reply to something on your mailing list, that’s probably a good sign you should ditch your mailing list and use IRC + Wiki.
