Ieri sera, per sbaglio, beccato un pezzo di un film der #monnezza. Mi sento piu' giovane di 30 anni... 😀
In the south of Burkina Faso lies a small village called Tiébélé. It's home to the Kassena people; one of the oldest ethnic groups that settled in the region in the 15th century.
Tiébélé is known for their amazing traditional Gurunsi architecture and elaborately decorated walls of their homes.
Dating back to the 16th century, wall decorating has always been a community project done by the women.

I've read many requests to add Mastodon links to GitHub profiles for verification and discovery purposes.
My team is working on allowing you to add a number of social profile links, but given upcoming holiday vacations, it won't ship until the new year. We don't want to rush something out at the potential cost of disrupting what is generally a quiet time for our engineers.
Ordinarily, I wouldn't talk about in progress work on social media, but y'all seem like you can keep a secret.
The Boston University School of Public Health is withdrawing from Twitter.
The dean’s thoughtful, nuanced explanation raises the question: Why are other institutions still there?

Deleted my #Twitter account. Kind of mourning this. A lot of memories - met so many wonderful people. Did a lot of good raising awareness about attacks on public #HigherEd. Learned a lot from my #healtheconomics colleagues. Hope to find community here.
BridgeStan 1.0.0 released
- lets you define a model in Stan, compile it to C++, then in-memory access it efficiently through Python, Julia, or R
- does not perform any kind of inference, but provides a hook into log density, gradient and Hessian evaluation as well as the constraining and unconstraining transforms.
- the primary goal is to support both algorithm research and application development
