I'm on the data job market, and I want to hear about your jobs, especially the weird and interesting ones!

I have been working in Product Analytics as a Data Scientist/Analyst with some light modeling the last few years. I have a PhD in Applied Math and can lean more into math - or I could lean the SQL direction for an Analytics Engineer role.

20+ years exp including being the only data person at small companies

The next Fedi #CraftClub meeting will be Sunday, May 4, at 10a pacific/1p eastern!
https://everytimezone.com/s/619e800d
We're usually there for 2 hours.

Craft Club is meant to be a chill space - I ask that you not bring up politics. I want people to be able to talk about their personal lives and experiences, but this is a time to not dwell upon the horrors.

I was reasonably useful! I need to remember scissors and pins next time.

Everyone was very nice. I intend to make a monthly habit of it.

I am going to introvert really hard for the remainder of the weekend

today: first time volunteering at the repair cafe!

I have no idea what I'm doing, or if my home sewing skills will even be helpful in this context. but imma try.

Hello nerds. What’s the best phone to buy if i refuse to use faceid, even tho all my previous smartphones have been iphones?

Secondarily, what if i had a $500 budget?

Must be more exciting than my iphone se gen 3

@justin omg, i mask too, and it didn't even occur to me that maybe i couldn't use faceid even if i wanted to

what's that thing some people have where they get really really upset about things they perceive as being unfair?

I have that thing. I should learn the name for it.

the PDX Community https://pdx.community site is really starting to fill out with events!

I also want to point out Alder Commons https://aldercommons.org where a ton of stuff is being hosted, and in a covid-avoidant way.

Fedi meetup at next month's First Friday Friends? https://app.aldercommons.org/program/first-friday-friends 😉

hi fedi friends! I am throwing a virtual New Years Eve party this year. We'll be online from 8p-10p pacific time ( starttime: https://everytimezone.com/s/df73b871 )

We might play games. We will definitely be very casual. Feel free to drop in and say hi and then wander off.

Bonus points for anyone who shares with me some games or activities we might want to do!

Boosts welcome!

I have a pound of beyond beef. I don’t usually cook with it or with real ground beef - would love ideas of what would be a good way to use it.

So help me, I might resort to Hamburger Helper if no one has any better ideas

extreme nerdy question: is there a good self-hosted bookmark manager for just me? I want tags. I can live with only saving things from my main computer.

in my imagination, it's basically a config file with url, title, tags, save_date on the "backend" and the frontend shows all bookmarks or lets me click on tags and intersections of tags.

i would love to have it be a few files (maybe one or more is javascript?) that live on my fastmail file server

ooooo, looking at my old online bookmarks, it appears that i used to be able to save things by faving them on twitter? (around 2015?) that would be awesome to have back for the fediverse.

I am hoping to go to at least some of #xoxofest this week - but I’m still sick with covid and i really have to work Friday. 😢

@kdnyhan katamari?

@annika sorry for making the same ish reply as someone else

I tried to give my boss feedback about how she made me sad friday.

so she made me much sadder.

i don't know what I expected.

not only am i working on the wrong things, it's my fault for not magically figuring out what the right things are and prioritizing them.

Joining the chorus of “i should move my Wordpress blog”

I’m technical but i have no interest in running any kind of server, which is why i have a hosted blog in the first place.

I do have a static page hosted by netlfiy, but someone walked me through it and i don’t understand it or what the limits are.

I’m willing to run some commands. But i do still want RSS and some inline images.

Specific advice very welcome - hosted blog alternatives, simple setups for hosting it somewhere at a low cost.
