    @annie_parker @rosepowell The one advantage of having cats. They don’t give a shit when you’re gone as long as they’re getting fed, so no guilt! 😂

    My third data-focused meetup this week! Sydney Machine Learning always draws a big crowd. https://t.co/Kvlto6EUsH

    First speaker is @orchyluke talking about what data science is and what skills you need. Lots of prospective data scientists here! #sydneymachinelearning https://t.co/6S7yCCOhGe

    “Good data beats the best model.” – @orchyluke #sydneymachinelearning https://t.co/D1w75Kbiw8

    Second speaker is @AstroHyde talking about data science in astrophysics. SWEEEET. #sydneymachinelearning https://t.co/2um6mtBOiz

    “Take pictures of my slides, not my face… I always end up making faces in photos.” – @AstroHyde I HAVE THIS PROBLEM TOO! 😂 #sydneymachinelearning

    I always think it’s such a nice thing when speakers do their own Acknowledgement of Country. Respectful.

    Some data scientists try to predict whether you’ll buy crap. @AstroHyde tries to figure out the literal secrets of the universe. 😳✨ #sydneymachinelearning https://t.co/MHibGOZdmY

    Really fascinating hearing how robot telescopes help scientists analyse tiny clusters of stars far far away to learn how the universe was formed. You know what doesn’t help? STUPID CARS FLOATING IN SPACE FOREVER.

    @wheelyweb Ideally the host should do it, totally.

    @indigitek Gutted I missed the meetup! I’ll email you guys. Let’s catch up. 🙂

    Australia is now a world leader in radio astronomy, but moving the huge amounts of data involved around is a big problem. “What’s higher than a petabyte? Lots and LOTS.” 😂 @AstroHyde https://t.co/QV4JMRmJXV #sydneymachinelearning

    @sebastianparis I really don’t think language is the thing that’s going to impede progress here. The deep pockets of the NRA and the complicity of the Republicans is the barrier.

    @sebastianparis Speaking as someone who grew up in a heavily Republican area of the Bible belt where everybody has guns – no, they don’t. Not enough to consider any restrictions.

    The joke may have backfired. Dad is now brainstorming ways to get the Snook a Green Card. 🙁

    @i386 YES. You’ll have to help me hire a suitable pool boy. 😉

    @i386 Also, pretty sure I have at least one school photo where I do, in fact, have that haircut.

    @mundizzle 😂😂😂

    @richbuggy Sadly, there are no Silicon Valley companies in Sturgis Michigan.

    @RyanBErickson @Malarkey @unlikelylibrary Surprisingly well! And it’s definitely taken off, which pleases me. Halloween curmudgeons are THE WORST. It’s a fun holiday, people!

    New meetup for me tonight: Sydney Users of R Forum (aka SURF)! Good crowd despite it being ❤️ Day… #surf https://t.co/HHCmyIY9rY

    Learning about network analysis in R from @FPHeld of @DataScienceSyd. His talk is already online if you’re curious! https://t.co/RbrsdQDD35 #surf18 https://t.co/0jew5a2sLn

    Researchers have shown that your social network has an effect on probability for obesity, some diseases. Causes for these patterns can be induction, homophily (ie self-deprecating), confounding (share an environment). Gets very complicated fast! @FPHeld #surf18 https://t.co/N9rtj9MBB6

    “Programs must be written for people to read and only incidentally for machines to execute.” – Hal Abelson. I like this. #surf18 @FPHeld https://t.co/IQRRPpmuOh

    This is fascinating. The example data @FPHeld is using of folks in a karate club was a real thing with its own Wikipedia page! #surf18 https://t.co/NTGhMUG29A https://t.co/Pkodcq4jAW

    When the group fractured and split in real life, the researcher was able to predict which side all but 1 member picked based on network analysis! #surf18 @FPHeld https://t.co/mIomtNDYY5

    @mmastertheone This one’s been going for a while! @cargomoose runs it along with several other folks. This is my first visit, but I’m impressed so far.

    @frconil Stocking up on dried mango?

    Oh good grief. That was supposed to be self-SELECTING, not deprecating. 😂 (Sorry @FPHeld.)

    @zoeydoesnttweet @FPHeld I was cherry-picking bits from the talk, so you may get more context from his write-up. It includes a video about this network analysis IIRC. https://t.co/RbrsdQm1Ev

    Indulge the #humblebrag – the Snook not only got me my fave flowers, “the green bits are from our garden.” HE ARRANGED THEM HIMSELF. 😍 https://t.co/oWtQJYzpUA https://t.co/5lzVYNQO1y

    @MichelePlayfair @unixbigot As a giant, I am usually Fezzik. (“EVERYBODY MOOOOOVE!”)

    I should add it wasn’t a surprise; I messaged him earlier in the day to admit I was considering buying myself flowers. He then said he’d take care of it. 🙂

    Excited for tonight’s visiting speaker @rachelpedreschi from @gridgain talking about Apache Ignite! https://t.co/JV11KB4hdI

    For many folks, the hardest part of settting up Cassandra in data modelling. It’s a developer-focused database, not a DBA-focused database. @rachelpedreschi https://t.co/30kGz1jfqa

    Apache Ignite has flown under the radar to some extent, but it’s growing super fast. 2nd fastest ASF project to graduate after Spark; 3rd most active project. @rachelpedreschi @gridgain https://t.co/Ol4tCu4yj9

    @cckate @annie_parker We do often talk about related topics on the @GGDSydney Slack channel. Happy to invite you to it if you like!

    @glasnt Mine has actually played that in the past month, and not as a joke. 😂

    @StokesXandra Yeah, the thrill of that one wears off after 10 years or so, I find. But surprise pancakes? Always good. 🙂

    @chrispytweets It’s real, and it’s spectacular.

    @kcollasarundell I feel like I’d have to make a lot of those 70’s style dishes involving Jello molds and MEAT.

    @lyynx Dammit. Now the price will start going up.

    @Malarkey It’s a soup tureen that my friend @unlikelylibrary got me for Halloween one year. 🙂

    @Mandy_Kerr Well, obviously I’d have a team of robots to clean it, like the eccentric Bond villain that I’d be if I lived there. (Also, it has a central vacuum system!)

    @Malarkey @unlikelylibrary I have a surprising amount of pumpkin stuff. I led the charge for Halloween-in-Australia for about a decade there.

    Got a reply from Dad about helping fix it up: “Absolutely and you’ve already got a landscaper lined up as well!” (My stepmom’s a landscape designer.) I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER.

    @The_McJones @parisba That’s the approach I should’ve taken during the whole “ZOMG A TESLA IN SPACE” nonsense the other day. Will remember that next time. 🙂

    @The_McJones @parisba Publicity stunts = good. Littering as advertisement = bad.

    @The_McJones And it wouldn’t be as depressing as being told your personality marks you at out as one of “nature’s administrators.” 😐

    @The_McJones A lot of unpaid emotional labour, in my experience.

    Real world data pipeline example from @SimonAubury. Hey, I spy the KSQL rocket there! (I heard @matt_howlett talk about that last month. Very exciting new project from @confluentinc!) @preactaau @IAGAust https://t.co/L6lUJ2wQiI

    For most companies, the data is less important than what it SIGNIFIES. That’s why KSQL is so cool – you can detect events in real time and do stuff with it! 🚀 @SimonAubury @IAGAust @preactaau https://t.co/wNNnt6n10T

    Second speaker is Raúl Beristáin from @VocusComm offering a counterpoint to the last talk – SQL on Hadoop using Impala. @preactaau https://t.co/vzel93OD6M

    “You may have heard the phrase ‘data lake.’ We were just talking about that. Everybody hates that.” 😂 @VocusComm @preactaau https://t.co/7vWyKFH94U

    @rmoff @SimonAubury Unfortunately no slides as they have to be vetted by corporate overlords. 😕

    @MsGenGeorge @JessicaCGlenn @Telstra Well done!!

    @aurynn @NatDudley Those are all good points I don’t disagree with. Just adding through that I regularly invite people to submit to our events, but that’s just because if I don’t, afterwards I hear “I didn’t know the CFP was open!”

    @aurynn @NatDudley So I email loads of folks I think might be interested to let them know – not because of any token minority status or anything like that. I just don’t want anybody to miss out!

    @aurynn @NatDudley I know a few different folks who are working on solutions for that. Hopefully one of them sticks.

    @eleanorkh Whoa, really?! I might have to pop in and see if mine has it!

    @eleanorkh I’m a sucker for a good red. Now if I could just find a mascara that actually stayed on my eyelashes!

    Mine is “Good Stuff”! Sometimes can also be used as evidence for a raise or promotion. 🙂 https://t.co/ZyX8bDvPP0

    @damncabbage I can’t make it tonight – but could you mention the open CFP for @YOWLambdaJam??

    @i386 @michaelneale @Apple Straight to the pool room? 😉

    @damncabbage @YOWLambdaJam @joshprice I’ll email you both!!

    @michaelneale @i386 @Apple I just asked Google Home that question. She’s replied, “Heaps of serenity!” 😂😂😂👏

    @michaelneale @i386 @Apple And then I asked Siri. No, Apple. Just no.

    @fbz 😂 Words to live by.

    @JessRudder I get that. I still think *something* useful would have been better than wasting the expense and effort to send useless junk to float through the universe forever.

    RT @JessRudder: @web_goddess 100% agree. Imagine how inspiring it could have been to school children all over the world if they got to send…

    @LoopdiLou @JessRudder LOL. Depressing but true!

    @ajainvivek @reactsydney My husband worked there about 5 years ago! All quite different now, I expect. 🙂

    You know, the last time I tweeted awesome crochet, @RoseRed_Shoes made it for me… 🤔 https://t.co/bxazu2JKpL

    I made a new dress! It’s got LITTLE PINK DINOSAURS all over it!! 🦖🦕❤️ (Petey Cat approves.) Pattern: Tiramisu from Cake Patterns https://t.co/TPFGpfwMyT https://t.co/t9fUhrC64g

    AND POCKETS, OF COURSE!!

    RT @SarcasticRover: Holy shit, my nerds… The #FalconHeavy can be BOTH an awesome achievement AND a shitty dick-swing. It’s okay to feel two…

    @stringy That was from Spotlight. 😂

    @mmastertheone Oh thanks!

    Honestly, if Elon wants to send some share bikes into the sun, I’m all for that. 🙂

    RT @j_s_n_d: Always store in UTC https://t.co/U60Cj7gXzW

    @RoseRed_Shoes But you’re the BEST AT IT, Jane! 😜

    @stibbons Ew!

    @RoseRed_Shoes JANE. https://t.co/x16V3L41oZ

    @stringy There’s one good Spotlight in Sydney, and I find something nice there everytime I go. The rest suck.

    @RoseRed_Shoes I went with 45C for front bodice based on measurements and 40 elsewhere. Front ended up a bit baggy; had to take in side seams 1/2″ from sleeve to pocket. Next time will use the 40C.

    @RoseRed_Shoes Also, the top of the waistband hit way too low. (It’s supposed to be at or above bust with expectation skirt weight will pull it down.) Had to unpick and lop off 1.5″ of both back and two fronts. I guess I’m short-waisted?

    @RoseRed_Shoes Instructions aren’t too bad. I think there were a couple things that I would have found confusing as a newbie but I figured out

    @RoseRed_Shoes My machine doesn’t have the lightning bolt stitch but it does do triple stitch (2 fwds, 1 back). Worked great, very stretchy. But slow going, and a real pain to unpick. Also used loads of thread – three bobbins!!

    @pj_Leward @corduroy Interesting. So Mobike have some with gears and some without? Regardless, the seat was still way too low for me.

    @ratkins @carlfish 😉

    @the_nathanjones Worse. A big chunk of metal doesn’t turn the whole thing into a goddamn commercial. If intelligent life finds our litter out there, they’re going to (rightly) think we’re assholes.

    @mmastertheone You’re welcome! (My legs are still sore.)

    @TheRealBnut I’ve been slowly moving away from it, tbh. Tired of the upkeep!

    A rare morning meet up for me – Sydney Data Science Breakfast! @atockar kicking things off with “food for thought.” https://t.co/FTvhrkEz5p

    Hearing from @TomerGarzberg from @GRONADE about factories where the workers work 24-7 with no lights, A/C, or running water. Because they’re robots! 🤖 https://t.co/HJM9LYs4nY

    According to the Short Term Automation Susceptibility Index, the first jobs to be automated away involve low skill and low variability. @TomerGarzberg https://t.co/BaoCN0pb14

    Interesting range of companies represented on the Sydney Data Science Breakfast panel. @Minervaprojects @kpmgaustralia @GRONADE @VergeLabsAI https://t.co/cIe08PwUd2

    Low level jobs in accounting and finance are ripe for automation, says @TomerGarzberg, “but I think we’ll always have senior partners.” https://t.co/g5C4BBnzSS

    If the only roles for humans are going to be senior roles, how do we train up people for those skills? (Yes, Universal Basic Income has been invoked!) #sydneydata https://t.co/gwM2AmyPMG

    “When the stock market is down, crypto currencies are down, what do you invest in? Maybe pitchforks.” #sydneydata https://t.co/rHO0c3J2cf

    “In light of all this talk about automation, what should we, as data scientists, do?” – @atockar
    “Existentially?!” – @TomerGarzberg
    Many chuckles from the crowd… #sydneydata 😂 https://t.co/oUwrnloW57

    Wait, was it a full size car or a miniature that just got launched into space? Because if it’s the former – ugh.

    @fbz @tcn33 Humans are the worst.

    @drkyliesmith The fucking hubris.

    @micheinnz Triple ugh.

    @MelissaKaulfuss The ego! It boggles the mind.

    @afcowie Or, like, something that would have scientific value. Rather than space junk.

    @fbz Sorry!! 😂

    HOLY MOLY. Suddenly crochet is redeemed. (Thanks @chrisgander!!) https://t.co/bxazu2JKpL

    I get that firing a car into space makes for some stunning visuals. But I keep thinking about my visit to Kennedy Space Center in 2007. They had an exhibit that was a wall of like 25 TVs each showing a shuttle launch…

    They were all synced up so they all launched at the same time. And as each mission reached orbit, the TV would shut off. After a couple minutes, they were all off except one.

    And we stood there in front of the Challenger mission video screen, and I teared up. It makes me tear up still. People gave their LIVES for this, to further our understanding of the universe.

    And now we’ve turned it into a commercial. It’s just… awful.

    At Kennedy we saw the shuttle, had lunch with an astronaut, flew a shuttle simulation, and went on the multi-axis trainer. The only brand I saw all day: Dippin’ Dots. https://t.co/4OfWGLf9wG

    @afcowie I get that private enterprise is making great strides in this area. That’s great. But what if it were Starbucks launching a payload of coffee cups or Taco Bell sending a bunch of burritos? Or worse – Enron or a mining company or someone like that.

    @afcowie That fact that most techies are Tesla and Musk fanboys shouldn’t give the commercialisation of this space a pass.

    RT @damncabbage: @web_goddess anyway, probably time for this photo again https://t.co/Lwx8BBV2v5

    @rbtcollins @afcowie Some look at space and see a market opportunity, another way for humans to market new crap to each other. I just think that’s depressing. We’re going to ruin it the way we ruin everything else.

    Yes, exactly this. https://t.co/UG3iKJ4hcO

    @darthted Oh god, that must have been… I can’t even come up with a word.
