Feeling inspired to write your first TDS post before the end of 2024? We’re always open to contributions from new authors.
Our guiding principle is that it’s never a bad time to learn new things, but we also know that different moments call for different types of learning. Here at TDS, we’ve traditionally published lots of hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves guides and tutorials as soon as we kick off a new year—and we’re sure that will be the case come January 2025, too.
For now, as we enter the peak of the holiday season, we wanted to highlight some of our best recent articles that call for a bit more reflection and a slower pace of processing: stories you can savor as you lounge on a comfy armchair, say, rather than while typing code away on your laptop (though you can do that too, of course; we won’t hold it against you!).
From the cultural impact of AI-generated content to a Bayesian analysis of dogs’ pooping habits (yes, you’ve read that right), we hope you enjoy this lineup of thought-provoking, engaging articles. And stay tuned: we can’t wait to share our 2024 highlights with you in next week’s final-edition-of-the-year Variable.
