@mycroft i'm using stata at work. besides hating it to my bones, i found out last week that stata has a ridicolous amount of artificially restrictions.
an example: you can only run scripts < 3501 lines and/or< 135001 bytes at once. their reasoning is that bigger scripts can hardly be debugged... could they please leave such decisions to the statistician / script-writer?!

Have you heard of StreetComplete? It's an Android app that shows you open questions/issues with OpenStreetMap in your area, and asks you to answer them.
It's made for people with no experience with #OpenStreetMap, so it shows only very simple questions that can be answered very clearly. ("What is printed on this street sign?", "What's the number on this house?")
Hey, I uploaded a rejected paper to OSF! This was rejected by one journal but I received very little feedback from reviewers. Please take a look and help me improve it before I submit it elsewhere! osf.io/u3am8 via @OSFramework - https://twitter.com/JordanTDowney/status/1031741953619111936
During a conversation with a good friend of mine: "When (#european) #copyright gets an overhaul, what should it say?" "Easy: Every work is always licenced under CC-BY." "Realisticly..." "Okay, copyright ends after 10 or 25 years, when nostalgia would kick in" "Deal!" #creativecommons
Recent pet peeves: It's not a podcast if I can't subscribe to it with my podcast tuner - i.e. an RSS poller that downloads MP3s from enclosures.
It's not a podcast if it's locked into a platform app. A YouTube video is not a podcast. A Twitch stream is not a podcast. Those all might be "periodic timeshiftable subcription" things but they're not podcasts
Could someone please tell me, why #GTK development in #Python is such a pain? I am relatively new to creating desktop app (I know, no one does that anymore) and it's a lot to get your head around, to organize your code and classes and interfaces, but... why? #GNOME
#SPSS is a mess. The #softwarelicenses end every year at end of August. If you want to make sure, it works between August and September, you can't buy a license beforehand, because than they'll price you the typical 40 bucks for those days till the end of August.

I wanted to automate analysing #questionaires. #sdaps seemed to be exactly what I needed. So I joined the #sdaps@freenode. After a whole day, we're now working on making the whole thing stable for a 2.0 release and also get some more people involved in the project. So stay tuned for the new project website you'll find at https://sdaps.org in the future. Video: sdaps in action: https://media.ccc.de/v/froscon2015-1606-sdaps
