My kid doesn't know the difference between "needs" and "wants", and now I'm suspecting I don't either!

I frequently write a very similar function to correct the off-by-one difference between precision/recall and the thresholds that are returned when calculating a PR curve scikit-learn.org/stable/modul...

Agreed! Though, I do wonder how well CDFs translate to non-technical folks. Even if they don't know what a PDF is, they might have an intuitive sense due to having seen histograms. Relatedly, I also found out today that you can set cumulative=True in matplotlib histograms in order to get a (e)CDF.

plot of: 

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.hist(np.random.normal(0, 1, 10000), bins=51, cumulative=True, density=True, histtype="step")
ax.hist(np.random.normal(0.15, 1.1, 10000), bins=51, cumulative=True, density=True, histtype="step")

I assumed this was a new kwarg, but it looks like it's been in matplotlib for over a decade!

I was about to be simultaneously very impressed and terrified for you if it was the cylinder. The cushion makes more sense! I used to be very into my indoboard in college. I brought it with me when I moved to NYC which ended up being a disaster in a tiny apt.

Wait, like, to stand on while at a standing desk?

This is very much a thing in physics, but it didn’t feel stifling because it seemed infeasible to cross areas due to the depth of knowledge required. Conversely, CS has always struck me as a shallower field (it’s much younger!) which makes labeling more counterproductive

I feel like they’re more Promotion Driven Development (which is perhaps just the cynical view of Support Driven Development). Also, Evolution Driven Development (competing teams working in parallel, survival of the fittest)
