Things I have accidentally invented because I don't have a proper CS education:
1. long format data tables
2. k-fold validation
3. simulated annealing
To be clear, this is not bragging. Turns out, learning things from others is good, actually. (Notes for 20-year-old-self.)

Researchers discover a secret weapon that saves babies' lives. And it's not medical
To save the lives of infants and small kids in lower resource countries, there are a handful of tools: anti-malarial drugs, bed nets and vaccines. A massive experiment in rural Kenya suggests another.

I like a lot of these candidates, so... it might come down to extra points for those who say "Somervuhl" and "Somervillan" properly.

People have trouble interpreting this. Nobody’s saying Donald Trump or Pam Bondi are personally selecting Nazi iconography. They don’t read enough for that. The point is they hire and promote Nazis who ARE steeped in Nazi iconography, and they’re fine with it.
Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.

Huh. I did something which made my system load go up to 140 and filled 32gb of ram and 8gb of swap. Desktop wasn't responsive at all, but I could ssh in from another system and ran top and killed some stuff. I expected to have to reboot, but it all just sorted itself out. Good job, modern Linux!
