@evan yup. I run LXD on it and then make lots of small system containers to do all the various things you want to do. The RAM helps there.

@evan the best deal is refurbished year or two old enterprise HW. Solid stuff, more than adequate for home usage.

I've got a workstation with 128GB of RAM. Most consumer stuff doesn't even have that as an option.

@evan I think that's really interesting, but I think it's also important to realize that people show many different sets of faces to the world. They have different sets of friend groups, and often those don't overlap.

So while focusing on you is good, you also should have control of "which you" they're looking at and dealing with.

@evan feels like protectionism to me.

Was given the keyboard.io model 100 for the holidays. I can now type my password on the first try! Thought that I was more of a home typer than I really am...

For those wondering about the effect of a Christmas tree on electric range. It took us about 16 kWh's of battery to get to the Christmas tree farm and 32 to get back home.

@evan I think this was the goal of Facebook with the Like button. Though I'm not sure it really satisfies that need.

I wonder if this is a case for some sort of AI to do a first pass, where the poster would see those comments as likes or dislikes, but would let other more substantive comments through.

@evan this is anonymous and e2e encrypted, right?

Seen on a car, but considering this for my new Github avatar.

@futurebird really great points.

I have advocated for adding stats to the base curriculum because I feel like it has become critical to exist in our society. Feels like even a weather forecast requires a little understanding of stats. Much less things like elections.

But having a well thought out curriculum is key. And I don't think stats should ever be a capstone for math students. Everyone needs it.

Do you think there is a way to fit "stats literacy" in without replacing another course?

@evan I would say that this is largely because I'm not a "static" cook. I tend to adjust and change them, so there isn't "a" recipe.

When people ask I'll tell them what I'm doing, but it isn't the same each time.
