If you are in a bubble, stay there. It is a happier place. Yes, young adults today are more willing to "cancel" their parents. Often enough it is for issues which a generation ago would have been seen as the child not…
Putting in a plug for Open BCI https://shop.openbci.com/collections/openbci-products which has been making EEG equipment for DIY use for years, and has some scientific validity claims. Including their…
Oh, but they can put blinky video ads all over the page so no matter where you look there are things to distract you. yeah yeah adblock pihole yes I know.
Just imagine how much more efficient you would be if you were using R's DataTable. Look, I applaud your skill, but at some point even a master craftsman realizes that the swiss army knife may not be the best tool, and a…
