Need help reshaping some data with pandas (and/or numpy)...

by Naomi Most

Hello nice persons, Would any of you python mathematical types be willing to help me solve a problem using pandas (and/or numpy)? The math itself isn't hard; the difficulty revolves around my unfamiliarity with the tools, and good god is this ever a huge load of learning I'm having to do just to reshape some data. --Naomi -- Naomi Theora Most naomi(a)nthmost.com +1-415-728-7490 skype: nthmost http://twitter.com/nthmost

Re: [sudo-discuss] [support.iocoop.org #1711] wikispot.org server

sudo room Press File / Archive

by Maximilian Klein

After digging through some archives of c-base (an epic hackerspace in Berlin), I thought it'd be wise to start collecting memories of sudo room. I've created http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Press to neutrally and unbiasedly start charting our journey from fledgling to Mother Goose to wayward hackers. Please, 'read all about it'. add, and expound http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Press without confusion, notconfusing

UPDATE/REMINDER: Amending Articles of Association on 3/27!

by Yardena Cohen

We were supposed to finally vote to update the Articles of Association on 3/20, but the wiki went down on 3/18 and stayed down until this past weekend! We didn't feel comfortable voting without the diff in front of us, and knowing that the full week of "online-consentability" was not fulfilled. But now the wiki is back up - thanks to all the people who worked hard to fix it! This message serves as your reminder. You have an extra few days to review the diff online, to make up for lost time: https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Articles_of_Association%2FCo… Hope to see you at the 3/27 meeting and finally make this happen!

wiki spam

All: There's a lot of wiki spam that is being created as of the 24th- I would like to propose that we have either a temporary block or email verification on users who create accounts and immediately create new pages, and possibly a block on certain ip ranges. thoughts?

crawlspace takeaway

by Yardena Cohen

This weekend, I and several other sudoers laid ethernet cable from SudoRoom to the front door, which meant crawling through the "crawlspace." It was successful! And we've learned a lot for the next time. I've documented the experience here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/page/Attic tl;dr it's a giant deadly attic. Be very careful.

Hey I hung out at sudo room yesterday ... The sound art guys were cool! Then came a public school dance group -- this lady led a bunch of male dancers which was neat. I'm so used to women dance troupes It got me thinking:: how do you get the different groups to cross pollinate more? Do sudo room people mix much with the dancers or the public school? I'm already thinking of ways to coax the dance group to work with the experimental sound guys and do some kind of dance music hack! Maybe we can build arduinos to put on the dancers !

I hax0red your d00r!

by Lisha Sterling

I am a happy girl, sitting in the hackerspace feeling all pwnie, which is like a bronie, only not at all. (But I do like unicorns!) I was given the password to the downstairs door on Friday. I came inside imagining that there would be other people up here. Alas. There was no one. I tried the downstairs password on the upstairs door. FAIL! (Mine, not the system's or the hackers that put it together.) I could not get in. In fact, I didn't even know the right URL to *get* in the door. So I sat my bee-hind down on a couch in the common room, got on the wiki, looked up "door access", found the server name for the inside door access, and went there. It took me a few tries to figure out the password, but it was not a hard one. The door lock is kinda sticky. You can get the right password on the right URL and hear the mechanism trying to do its thing, but the lock doesn't fully unlock. The trick is to push the door closed tighter while the lock turns. So, yup, I'm inside. Between bringing cookies and breaking into the space, I guess I should fill out the web form and start calling myself a real sudoer now. :p How secure do we need these doors to be? If we have people in the space MOST of the time, then there is a lower need for security. With an often empty space, there's maybe more of a risk of theft, vandalism or other nastiness. Security through obscurity is no security at all. - Lish -- http://www.alwayssababa.com/

thank you so much bill! this was an absolutely urgent need and i would like to extend a million thank yous to you for fixing it. we will suffer through the lack of a single sign on, but that pain is worth it for the pleasure of having the wiki up and running. i'd like to also take a moment to thank others who have been doing awesome stuff for the sudo community (if i have left you off the list this is my oversight and not an intentional slight!): thanks to andrew & jordan for working on the outside door - this is imperative! thanks to mitch for the soldering workshop yesterday thanks to naomi for organizing the radio room (i'm sorry, but i unplugged the ethernet switch because it was giving me some trouble!) thanks to whoever has been getting the site up and running every time it goes down thanks to ray for feeding us at meetings and to all who have taken on the roles of exchequer, facilitator, note taker, and last minute etherpad switcher thanks to everyone who has been trying to improve our conflict resolution process thanks to morten for bringing his family by to see the space and say hello and thanks to everyone else who comes to the space, hacks at the space, brings others to the space, and works to improve things that allow our community to work better together and love sudo room. - marina On Sat, Mar 23, 2013 at 10:10 PM, William Budington <bill(a)inputoutput.io>wrote: > The wiki has been fixed, there was a problem with the wordpress common > login with mediawiki plugin.

I think while its apparent that a discussion on issues of privilege, who is sheltered from what types of harm by existing social structures, and related topics are beyond the reach of this discussion, some of the statements i'm seeing in this sound like garden variety victim blaming.

Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] Consensus on Barring Shawn Landden from the Noisebridge space and community (Was Re: On Asking People To Leave (Was Re: Shawn L. ))

by rachel lyra hospodar

In case folks are curious about what is going on at NB regarding this individual who repeatedly stalked people to their homes. Whatever your take on safe spaces and openness, this discussion may help to inform your conception of potential dangers to different members of the community. I hope we all work to be open to the experiences, and needs, of others. R. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Snail" <snailtsunami(a)gmail.com> Date: Mar 21, 2013 12:18 PM Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Consensus on Barring Shawn Landden from the Noisebridge space and community (Was Re: On Asking People To Leave (Was Re: Shawn L. )) To: "Noisebridge-discuss" <Noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net> Last night, we reached consensus on the decision to ban Shawn from Noisebridge and the community, which in full wording goes, "Shawn Landden is barred from Noisebridge. He is prohibited from entering the space or participating in the community." The statement is intentionally worded to so it can be interpreted to encompass DIGITAL as well as PHYSICAL space. You can see the meeting notes at https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2013_03_19 I am relieved to see the community band together on this decision, without hesitation, and hope that it encourages people hurt by this person to return and continue to be a part of our community. :) Because we do care. And I always look forward to discussions on what we can do to do better next time, because it will happen again, at Noisebridge, at every hackerspace, and it will happen with people we like and are very attached to and we need to be prepared, mentally, to make difficult decisions. I know members of other hackerspaces like to joke about Noisebridge drama, but this is not silly Internet drama. These are real problems that happen in every hackerspace, every place on the planet, and we're trying to solve a problem that is unsolved (how can you guarantee the safety of people in a space, when that space is in a society where violence and threats against people is accepted, even lauded, because the recipients are women?). We talk about it openly, and I'm glad talk is open. Information is our best tool here.

My "Today I Learned" this Sat

by Mitch Altman

Hi, I wanted to start publicizing my workshop this Saturday for Today I Learned. But it looks like the wiki for Today I Learned is broken. Is it still OK to do the workshop on Saturday afternoon? My idea is to teach anyone and everyone to solder using lots of fun and intriguing kits for total beginners to complete successfully (and cool enough for experts to enjoy, too). TV-B-Gone kits, Brain Machine kits, blinky-light kits, and lots, lots more. Anyone can learn this stuff! All skill levels, all ages -- all welcome! More info:https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Circuit_Hacking_Mondays Any way to get the workshop on the Sudo Room main calendar? It would be nice to use this to attract some new folks to Sudo Room. Thanks,Mitch.

on building the world you want to live in

by Lit JC

for your reading pleasure: http://www.windley.com/archives/2013/03/build_the_world_you_want_to_live_in… Cisco has made the assertion that there will be 50 billion devices on the Internet by 2020. That number might be high or low as it related to “devices” but I think it seriously underestimates the number of connected things that we’ll need to eventually contend with—by several orders of magnitude. The real number is likely in the trillions. The driver, of course, is Moore’s law. John Clippinger reports that an Android phone can be had for $30 in some places. That same connected, computational, sensor platform will cost $3.00 and then $0.30 and then $0.03. When a wireless sensor platform costs $0.03 where will it be? Everywhere. Everything, even disposable things like razors or pens, will be gathering data…about you. We probably don’t really have a choice about whether a $0.03 wireless sensor platform will exist. Technology marches on. But we do have a choice about how it will be employed. If we follow the path we’re on now, all those devices will be controlled by some company somewhere that is providing the service behind them. [snip]
