Hiiii! After unexpectedly finding myself without a job for the first time in my professional career, I am looking for a new role effective immediately - one where I can do good, period. 🌟 PREFERRED ROLES (non-exhaustive!): ▪️Writer: technical, reports, newsletters, deep dives, articles ▪️Teacher/tutor: #German, #linguistics, language study; data analytics & literacy, #statistics ▪️Coach: #academia to what’s beyond; personal development; organization; task & project management; app setups & ecosystems ▪️Data analyst / data scientist ▪️Researcher / policy #analyst 🏢 PREFERRED INDUSTRIES & AREAS: ▪️Non-profit/not-for-profit & #advocacy. Broadly speaking: more just, sustainable, more good ▪️Tutoring, coaching, education (software, tools, instruction), academia ▪️Civic good, municipal affairs, local journalism, urbanism, environment/ecology ▪️Small tech/tech for good, FOSS/FLOSS, privacy, digital sovereignty ▪️Disaster management/prevention, emergency operations (I have work, volunteer, and/or education/training experience in all of these categories - happy to share more!) 💪🏼 I’LL BE A FANTASTIC FIT IF: ▪️You suspect there’s a story in a heap of #data, but don’t know what it is - or how to coax it out. I’ll find it for ya. ▪️You need great visuals and tailored communication for any audience: clear academic reports, engaging tech newsletters, gentle introductions to complex topics, keynotes - I love ‘em all. ▪️You need someone to dig deep. I naturally follow up on every “huh, that’s odd - let me see what’s really going on there!” ▪️You want a critical thinker who gives honest advice. You’ll get the real deal. ▪️You like saying what you mean and talking to each other like real people. I can speak corporate, but I’d prefer leaving that seven-layer dip of jargon behind! ▪️Bonus: You suspect corporate AI may soon be unaffordable for most organizations, or the bubble may burst, and need someone who can do excellent work without chatbot crutches if needed. ⛔️ NOT LOOKING FOR: ▪️Roles where I’m expected to rubber-stamp work, go through the motions, or “put the data fries in the bag.” ▪️Cultures where manufactured emergencies are the norm and there’s no time to think, explore, or dig deep. ▪️Jobs where you can’t tell me what good I’ll do or where my positive impact will be. 🖥️ PREFERRED SETTING: ▪️Remote, flexible hours ▪️Contracts/project work; very open to a portfolio-style career ▪️Hybrid or “we get together sometimes” roles in the #Edmonton area ▪️I’m not chasing the corporate ladder; impact matters more. If it’s a good fit, I don’t care whether it comes with a “Senior” label. #boostOK, and if you do, I’ll send all the good vibes so there may never again be an unexpected item in your bagging area. 💜 Hiring, or know someone who is?

Average prices in real estate are a lie. One luxury penthouse in Vake or a mansion in Kyiv can pull the whole district average up, making it look like prices rose for everyone. I always use the median because it shows what the middle person is actually paying. If you want to see the real trend, ignore the average. #statistics #realestate #marketanalysis

FediSuite 1.6.3Deine Fediverse Management Plattform FediSuite 1.6.3 ist veröffentlicht. Im Mittelpunkt steht Reichweite für öffentliche Fediverse-Beiträge. Likes, Boosts und Antworten zeigen Reaktionen, aber nicht, wie viele Accounts einen Beitrag vermutlich gesehen haben. Deshalb berechnet FediSuite jetzt eine geschätzte Brutto- und Nettoreichweite nach dem FediWings-Modell. Die Bruttoreichweite zählt mögliche Sichtkontakte über Autor*in und Booster*innen. Die Nettoreichweite rechnet Doppelzählungen heraus. Boostet derselbe Account mehrere Teile eines Threads, landet er nicht mehrfach in der Gesamtsumme. Threads behandelt FediSuite als zusammenhängende Veröffentlichung, statt jeden Abschnitt künstlich aufzublähen. Das sind die Details, die aus einer hübschen Zahl eine brauchbare machen. Die Berechnung läuft für neue und bereits importierte Beiträge im Hintergrund. Auch alte Posts kommen nach und nach dran. In der Übersicht, im Dashboard und bei den Top-Beiträgen lässt sich nach Netto- oder Bruttoreichweite sortieren. Ein Badge führt direkt zur Methodik-Seite. Dort steht, wie die Formel funktioniert, worauf sie beruht und wo ihre Grenzen liegen. Reichweite ist eine Schätzung, keine Orakelzahl. Gerade deshalb gehört die Erklärung neben die Zahl, nicht in irgendeinen Blogpost, den niemand findet. Sinnvoll ist es, die eigenen Fediverse-Accounts in FediSuite neu zu verbinden, damit alle Beiträge wirklich in voller Länge importiert werden. Dann heißt es etwas Geduld haben: Die Berechnung von Brutto- und Nettoreichweite läuft erst nach dem Import der historischen Daten und dann in kleinen Intervallen. Bis alle Werte zur Verfügung stehen, können ein bis zwei Stunden vergehen. Nebenbei räumt 1.6.3 einiges auf: Die Zeitachsen der Wachstums-Charts halten sich endlich an den gewählten Zeitraum, der Importfortschritt zeigt seine tatsächliche Phase und Beitragszeilen lassen sich aufklappen. Beim Nachladen der Reichweite begrenzt FediSuite parallele Anfragen pro Instanz auf sechs. Eine volle Warteschlange verschwindet jetzt viel schneller, ohne kleine fremde Instanzen mit Requests zuzukleistern. Außerdem gab es natürlich viele, viele kleinere Änderungen und Fixes unter der Haube: Ordentliche GUI Skalierung von 720p bis 4K.Import der Historischen Daten zeigt nun einen farbigen FortschrittsbalkenEs gibt eine neue Seite "Credits", verlinkt im Footer.Es gibt eine neue Seite "Methodik", verlinkt als Badge in allen Reichweitenberechnungen.Follower Charts gefixtUnd Vieles mehr! https://www.fedisuite.com #fedisuite #fediverse #analytics #statistics #mastodon #friendica #peertube #pixelfed #loops #pleroma #misskey

FediSuite 1.6.3Your Fediverse Management Platform FediSuite 1.6.3 is out. At its center is reach for public Fediverse posts. Likes, boosts, and replies show reactions, but not how many accounts likely saw a post. That's why FediSuite now calculates an estimated gross and net reach based on the FediWings model. Gross reach counts possible visibility through the author and boosters. Net reach subtracts out double counting. If the same account boosts several parts of a thread, it doesn't get counted multiple times in the total. FediSuite treats threads as one connected post instead of artificially inflating each segment. These are the details that turn a nice-looking number into a useful one. The calculation runs in the background for new and already imported posts. Older posts get their turn too, gradually. In the overview, the dashboard, and the top posts list, you can sort by net or gross reach. A badge links directly to the methodology page. It explains how the formula works, what it's based on, and where its limits are. Reach is an estimate, not an oracle. That's exactly why the explanation belongs right next to the number, not in some blog post nobody finds. It's worth reconnecting your own Fediverse accounts in FediSuite, so that every post actually gets imported at full length. Then it takes a bit of patience: gross and net reach are only calculated after the historical import finishes, and then in small intervals. It can take an hour or two before all the reach numbers are available. Along the way, 1.6.3 cleans up quite a bit: the time axes on the growth charts finally stick to the selected period, import progress shows its actual phase, and post rows can now be expanded. When fetching reach data, FediSuite now caps concurrent requests per instance at six. A full queue now drains much faster, without flooding small remote instances with requests. There were also, of course, plenty of smaller changes and fixes under the hood: Proper UI scaling from 720p to 4K.Historical data import now shows a coloured progress bar.There's a new "Credits" page, linked in the footer.There's a new "Methodology" page, linked as a badge on every reach calculation.Follower charts fixed.And much more! https://www.fedisuite.com #fedisuite #fediverse #analytics #statistics #mastodon #friendica #peertube #pixelfed #loops #pleroma #misskey

Hello, I’m Tarvo, a geneticist by training who somehow ended up spending most of his working life at the intersection of medicine, data, hospital IT and digitalisation. These days, my scientific work often means helping clinicians make sense of their data, while my day job is increasingly about preparing a hospital for a future in which AI will simply be part of medicine — whether institutions are ready for it or not. I joined FediScience because I miss thoughtful scientific conversation. I’m particularly interested in AI, medicine, genetics, statistics, mathematics, open science and the wonderfully messy question of how we actually integrate new technology into real-world healthcare. I’m here to learn, exchange ideas, occasionally ask stupid questions, and hopefully contribute something useful in return. Say hello — recommendations for interesting people to follow are very welcome. #Introduction #NewHere #Science #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Medicine #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #Genetics #Statistics #Mathematics #OpenScience #Research #MedMastodon #AcademicMastodon #Neuhier

I'm curious as to how BSD (NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD) adoption will progress in view of the Debian vote. I hope someone's measuring it. :-) #statistics

John Tukey the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) inventor, who coined both "bit" and "software" died exactly 26 years ago today. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), one of the most important algorithms in signal processing and data analysis, was introduced by Tukey & Cooley in 1965. In 1805, Gauss - studying the orbits of asteroids Pallas and Juno - came up with a method to interpolate their trajectories from discrete samples. What he came up with was mathematically very close to the modern FFT but Gauss never published that work, and didn’t analyze its computational complexity. It predated even Fourier’s 1822 work on heat diffusion - but without the framing or generalization that Cooley & Tukey would bring 160 years later. In 1965, Cooley & Tukey published their now-famous algorithm that reduced the cost of computing a Discrete Fourier Transform from 𝑂(𝑛²) to 𝑂(𝑛 log⁡𝑛). This leap made real-time signal processing and digital media compression feasible. From radio telescopes to JPEGs, from audio codecs to quantum mechanics - the FFT is everywhere. It’s one of the most important (and elegant) algorithms of the 20th century - rooted in the genius of Gauss, but brought to life in the computer age. #JohnTukey #FastFourierTransform #FFT #SignalProcessing #ComputerScience #Mathematics #Algorithm #DataScience #DigitalSignalProcessing #FourierTransform #ComputationalScience #ScientificComputing #HistoryOfScience #Innovation #CarlFriedrichGauss #JosephFourier #JamesCooley #STEM #Engineering #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #QuantumComputing #ImageProcessing #AudioProcessing #Statistics #TechHistory #Computing #Science #InnovationLegacy #OnThisDay
