A short(ish) guide on how to get Jupyter Notebooks up and running on the Bridges supercomputer.

Running Jupyter on a Supercomputer

This quick guide for getting a Jupyter Notebook up and running on Bridges, a supercomputer managed by the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. Bridges is a new machine designed to accommodate non-traditional uses of High Performance Computing (HPC) resources like data science and digital humanities. Bridges is available through XSEDE, which is the system that manages access to multiple supercomputing resources. Through XSEDE, Bridges is available researchers or educators at US academic or non-profit research institutions (see the XSEDE eligibility policies) Allocations are free, but there is a somewhat difficult to understand application process filled with jargon and acronyms that take time to understand. See the XSEDE getting started guide for more information about getting acc

#4s2013 Presenters by Country

A Map of Our World

"Us" being scholars presenting at the 2013 annual meeting of the Society for the Social Studies of Science. The map being a representation of the number of folks at the conference by country. The darker the red, the more people from institutions in that country will be showing up in lovely San Diego in October (presumably).

The United States of America has a strong showing, Antartica does not.

The data for this visualization was collected by:

  1. scraping the conference website
  2. obtaining location instutition by querying the Google Maps API with the self-reported instition information

some blather on Trust

Some blather on Trust & Method

Link to this post on my blog.

So this turned into a some kinda bloggy post thing. I can't vouch for any the ideas in here because I'm hopped up on caffeine and ibuprofen.

Garfinkel's classic "trust" paper which discusses how sociologists and practically engage trust as something observable and reportable. It is fundamentally a discussion about method, and how formal analytic/theory, cannot make render visible issues of trust. I think this speaks directly to Alan's point that humanities have no methods for engaging trust: [Garfinkel, H. (1963), 'A Conception of, and Experiments with 'Trust' as a Condition of Stable Concerted Actions', in Harvey, O. J. (ed), Motivation and Social Interaction, New York: Ronald Press, 187-238.](http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=c6Quh3jbt8YC&oi=fnd&pg=PA379&dq=garfinkel+trust&ots=HoNZhYSWX8&sig=degJPylllzk_I4R00YPlpUJPu-c#v=onepage&q

Wayne: What is it?
Stacy: It's a GIT hub.
Wayne: A GIT hub... a GIT hub. Shyeah, Right! I don't even own
A GIT, let alone many GITs that would necessitate an entire hub.
