Aye apparently it will be the worst one for a few years .. but they say that every year 😕
I never understand that... they can't really forecast the weather for next week, but somehow they know what is going to happen in a few months time.
Good morning.
@thomas: any forecast much past 5 days (10 tops) is so low in confidence statistically as to be almost useless.
I once heard that if you say the weather today is the same as yesterday you are correct 60% of the time.... quite a good hit rate IMHO
@thomas: does that work the other way round, saying the weather tomorrow will be the same as today? I wonder what the deviation is
@gjnoonan: that should work as well is my understanding. and an accurate forecast can be off by 2 degrees as well.
I’d guess that changes drastically depending on the location.
@thomas: @gjnoonan bias will tend to give you that effect. You should read ‘Clojure For Data Science’ by my mate @henrygarner for a much more scientific explanation of bias!
It’s almost like the language is going mainstream!
My magic trackpad is disconnecting itself every other minute.
This is driving me crazy.
You hipster!
@agile_geek: It’s on my to-read pile, maybe I’ll give it a look sooner than later
I’m from Southern Australia - don’t find the cold here to be particularly bad, to be honest. The lack of sunlight is more of a hassle!
ObClojure - anyone got suggestions for showing simple 3d visualizations in clojure? Quil was my first thought, but are there others?
korny: are you aware of SAD, sunlamps and if you are into experimental stuff, EnChroma?
I am very lucky in that weather has almost no effect on my mood. Then again, maybe I’m just moody all the time.
It's ok, we wouldn't ask you to part with anything. We know how hard it is for you guys :P
xlevus: how do you know him?
hahaha.
london social club?
pupeno: I’ve seen SAD lights, I had a cheap one when working in Glasgow. But really, it’s not a big thing, just an annoyance; it’s been very very grey the last few weeks. Melbourne in winter is pretty cold, but there’s usually a fair bit of sun still (and the nights aren’t nearly as long!)
