A Brief Hiatus

I took a brief blogging hiatus from 2015 to 2024. You can hear a bit about what I was up to during this period on The Accidental Engineer.

All posts prior to this one are from my old blog Modern Toolmaking, which I no longer maintain. Blogger lost the ability to post links to source code. I’ve moved all of my posts to this new blog, and restored the source code and model outputs to their former glory. In some cases, the old code no longer runs, due too:

  1. Package updates (I hope to eventually fix these)
  2. Packages removed from CRAN (these may or may not be fixable)
  3. Lost data sources and dead links (these may or may not be fixable)

Posts where the code doesn’t work any more are tagged “code-broken,” but I have preserved them for posterity. I did spellcheck some posts and make minor code edits for clarity or to fix compatibility with the modern version of R. I may retroactively add one or 2 posts from my hiatus period describing some of the other Kaggle competitions I participated in.

In the future, you will see a lot more python on this blog 😃.
