| jelkner_ | replaceafill, so good to see you sir! | 13:15 |
| replaceafill | hey jelkner_ | 13:15 |
| jelkner_ | please let me know if you have time to chat via hangout today | 13:15 |
| replaceafill | i do | 13:16 |
| jelkner_ | is now good? | 13:16 |
| replaceafill | let me get my gear | 13:16 |
| replaceafill | jelkner_, ready | 13:18 |

| jelkner_ | replaceafill, i've been thinking about the decision making process we were just discussing | 14:23 |
| jelkner_ | it is not a deterministic algorithm, which is what makes it feel a bit unsettling to us geeks | 14:23 |
| replaceafill | jelkner_, right | 14:24 |
| jelkner_ | but basically it works like this, choose a reasonable (not too long) time to allocate to investigation | 14:24 |
| jelkner_ | then when the time expires, make the best decision you can based on what you learned *at that time* | 14:25 |
| jelkner_ | without hesitation | 14:25 |
| jelkner_ | that's basically what we need to do | 14:25 |
| replaceafill | i agree | 14:25 |
| jelkner_ | it's both art and science | 14:25 |
| replaceafill | i just need to focus on the "without hesitation" part | 14:25 |
| jelkner_ | which is scary, but fun and creative! | 14:25 |
| jelkner_ | speaking of fun, i'm falling in love with list comprehensions! | 14:26 |
| replaceafill | little venting: you have no idea how good my health (mental and physical) is today | 14:27 |
| replaceafill | compared to what it was a couple of months ago | 14:27 |
| jelkner_ | that is wonderful news, my friend! | 14:27 |
| replaceafill | i think it's the "fun" side of things :) | 14:27 |
| jelkner_ | live should be joyous | 14:27 |
| jelkner_ | https://github.com/jelkner/ggs560 | 14:27 |
| replaceafill | jelkner_, is that for your course you mentioned in your email? | 14:28 |
| jelkner_ | with list comprehensions, even standard deviations can be fun ;-) | 14:28 |
| jelkner_ | yup | 14:28 |
| jelkner_ | mjsir911 has done a wonderful thing | 14:28 |
| jelkner_ | the jupyter server he set up works like a charm | 14:28 |
| jelkner_ | i can even use it while i am at class | 14:29 |
| replaceafill | ah | 14:29 |
| replaceafill | jupyter is based on the python notebook, right? | 14:29 |
| jelkner_ | i don't want to distract you, but it is at https://jupyter.gctaa.net | 14:30 |
| jelkner_ | yes | 14:30 |
| jelkner_ | jupyter is short for julia, python and r | 14:30 |
| replaceafill | who needs interpreters installed anymore! | 14:30 |
| replaceafill | :) | 14:30 |
| replaceafill | ah | 14:30 |
| replaceafill | so R is in the mix too! | 14:30 |
| replaceafill | i loved R | 14:30 |
| jelkner_ | well, now you can have it | 14:31 |
| jelkner_ | mjsir911 only installed the python kernel in ours | 14:31 |
| jelkner_ | since i don't plan to use anything else at this point | 14:31 |
| jelkner_ | but if you have some spare time and want to play, we could easily install the r kernel | 14:31 |
| jelkner_ | pandas rocks! | 14:31 |
| replaceafill | ah yes | 14:32 |
| jelkner_ | my professor gave us an excel spreadsheet | 14:32 |
| jelkner_ | we were supposed to do the assignment in excel | 14:32 |
| jelkner_ | but he said we could use whatever we want | 14:32 |
| jelkner_ | i was able to import the spreadsheet and extract the data in no time | 14:32 |
| replaceafill | i have to confess that i took a coursera computational investing course just to learn pandas :) | 14:33 |
| jelkner_ | it reads and writes to xls files like nobody's business | 14:33 |
| jelkner_ | cool | 14:33 |
| replaceafill | and i do my gnucash expenses analysis with it too | 14:33 |
| jelkner_ | nice | 14:33 |

| replaceafill | "how much milk do we buy monthly" :D | 14:33 |
| jelkner_ | wow, lelkneralfaro needs to talk to you! | 14:34 |
| replaceafill | :)) | 14:34 |
| jelkner_ | okie dokie, back to work with me | 14:34 |

| replaceafill | ok, back to reading for me | 14:34 |
| replaceafill | i am! | 14:34 |
| jelkner_ | ACTION logs off for today... | 14:35 |
