Do you burn more calories running than walking?
If your exercise is time-constrained, you'll (obviously) burn more calories the faster you go whether you run or walk. If your exercise is distance-constrained, you'll burn slightly more calories running than walking.

Do you burn more calories if you walk faster?
If your walk is time-constrained, walking faster burns more calories. If your walk is distance-constrained, walking faster makes no difference.

This was a fascinating, illuminating, and enraging conversation with Dr Richard Denniss, Executive Director of The Australia Institute, and Professor Margaret Hellard, Deputy Director of the Burnet Institute, about why we're not collecting covid data, and why it matters. This one is really important, so please listen, and share.
RD:"Why aren't we collecting the data? Because they don't want to admit failure. They don't want to make it easy for me to tell you what the cost to GDP of this heroic approach to covid has been."

I have a figure made with the R package 'maps'.
The paper with that figure got accepted by a journal requiring a CCBy4 license.
What's the license of figures that we produce by using that R package? The code of the package is released under GPL3, but not clear to me if that applies also to the figures produced by me with that package.

I published my first academic paper thirty years ago.
Overnight, a researcher contacted me to ask if I had the data for the main figure in the paper so that they could reproduce it.
Could I help? The data was from the time before Windows, 5.25-inch floppy discs, and graphs sent from a Unix environment directly to a printer for redrawing for publication by a cartographer.
You bet! In my archive, there was the original input data and code (Fortran77). And now shared.

New blog post: A Polars exploration into Kedro 🐻❄️
Ahead of @astrojuanlu's workshop on PyCon Lithuania this week, he described in this blog post what's the current status of Polars support in Kedro, how can you use it instead of pandas, and what can you expect in the future.
