After just two episodes, I’m definitely enjoying season 2 of Star Trek Discovery more than season 1. There were good parts of season 1, but overall it didn’t hold together for me. Regardless, always great to have new Star Trek

The long nightmare of the 24-hour internet outage is over…
For awhile now I’ve been meaning to get serious about automation on iOS. The Siri Shortcuts Field Guide from @macsparky is a great, comprehensive introduction. While taking the course, I built a good dozen useful shortcuts and have many ideas for more.

Another Christmas dinner
Good advice from a philosopher on how to disagree constructively:
Many of my best friends think that some of my deeply held beliefs about important issues are obviously false or even nonsense. Sometimes, they tell me so to my face. How can we still be friends? Part of the answer is that these friends and I are philosophers, and philosophers learn how to deal with positions on the edge of sanity.

The Barchef project is delicious
Out for a Christmas stroll
The Kano computer is a great product. Fun and easy to build with lots of good built in software.
Merry Christmas
A quiet, snowy run today.

Here’s some “behind the scenes” geospatial analysis I used in a recent @PsephoAnalytics post. This was a good excuse to experiment with the sf #rstats 📦 which makes this much easier than my old workflows
Our predictions for the recent election in Toronto held up well. We were within 6%, on average, with a slight bias towards overestimating Keesmaat’s support. Now we’ll add more demographic richness to our agents and reduce the geographical distribution of errors www.psephoanalytics.ca/2018/11/r…

Sean Carroll’s Mindscape podcast is one of my new favourites 🎙
Seems like something to strive for these days:
it is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence
