Analyzing Baseball Data with R (3e)
Back in the late 1980s, as a college student, I would go to the NHL offices in downtown Montreal, and pick up their official end-of-season statistics package. This was something that was reserved for the media, but somehow I had the idea to ask, and they were kind enough to oblige. Since I was learning dBase, I then had to manually enter every piece of data in that package, probably some 20,000 discrete data values. Combining sports, numbers, and computers was a labour of love for me. Add in that in the 1980s, Pete Palmer and Bill James inspired the sabermetric revolution: my career path was set, as was that of thousands more.

Moneyball
Michael Lewis’s instant classic may be 'the most influential book on sports ever written' (<em>People</em>), but 'you need know absolutely nothing about baseball to appreciate the wit, snap, economy and incisiveness of [Lewis’s] thoughts about it' (Janet Maslin, <em>New York Times</em>).<br /><br />One of <em>GQ</em>'s 50 Best Books of Literary Journalism of the 21st Century • A <em>Kirkus Review</em> Best Book of the 21st Century (So Far), Moneyball, The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, Michael Lewis, 9780393324815
Moneyball (film)
Moneyball is a 2011 American biographical sports drama film directed by Bennett Miller and adapted by Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin. It stars Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright and Chris Pratt. The film is based on the 2003 book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis, an account of the Oakland Athletics baseball team's 2002 season and their general manager Billy Beane's attempts to assemble a competitive team with half as much money as his rivals. Moneyball follows Beane and his deputy Peter Brand scout the major leagues for undervalued talent by taking a sophisticated sabermetric approach to scouting and analyzing players, triggering skepticism and resentment within the baseball community.

this latest “bluesky is dying” wave feels like a good time for me to reshare the talk i gave at Atmosphere Conference 2026 i’m biased of course, but i think it does a pretty damn good job of explaining how we got here and where we’re going i’ve never felt more certain that atproto will “win”

It's important to understand: social networks are not meant to be one-size-fits all! When Meta (which makes Threads, as well as Facebook and Instagram) creates platforms that have hundreds of millions of users, they do things like enable genocides, where tens of thousands of innocent people die.
