From YouTube: Bridging Open Source with Actuarial Science
Description
Open source is eating the world. It's even impacting our daily professional endeavors Today at 1pm ET, we're chatting with Matthew Caseres about building a community of actuaries and actuarial software in the open.
A
A
A
A
A
Hello-
everyone,
it's
nice
to
see
you
all
again.
If
this
is
your
first
time
watching,
this
is
open
source
Friday,
it's
a
weekly,
Friday's,
twitch
stream
that
I
do
or
I
guess
multiple
platform
stream
that
I
do
basically
chatting
with
open
source,
maintainers
and
core
contributors
about
the
work
that
they're
doing
in
open
source.
This
is
to
help
us
get
a
better
understanding
like
us,
as
viewers
get
a
better
understanding
of
how
we
can
get
involved
in
open
source
and
also
help
us
learn
more
about
other
open
source
communities
that
are
out
there.
A
I
see
people
in
the
comments
saying
hi,
someone
said:
hi,
GitHub,
family,
hey
Naveen!
What's
up,
let
us
know
where
y'all
are
tuning
in
from
someone
said
they're
tuning
in
from
Italy
and
I.
Don't
know
how
to
even
I
don't
want
to
like
mess
this
up,
but
thank
you
for
tuning
in
from
from
that
country,
so
I
have
without
further
Ado
instead
of
me,
just
talking
on
and
on
I
do
want
us
to
take
some
time
to
chat
with
our
guest
Matthew,
hey
Matthew.
What's
going
on.
A
Yeah
I
love,
it
love
it.
Could
you
tell
us.
B
Yeah
so
I
started
as
an
actuary
after
I
got
a
math
degree.
I
went
to
University
of
Alabama
at
Birmingham,
got
a
math
degree,
wasn't
sure
what
to
do
with
it
took
some
Actuarial
exams
became
an
actuary
and
started
writing
code,
and
the
department
I
was
in
wasn't
really
code
writing
department,
but
it
was
a
good
solution
for
the
problem.
It
didn't
fit
well
within
Excel,
which
is
where
actuaries
do
a
lot
of
work.
So
I
started
writing
our
programming
scripts
and
eventually
ended
up
publishing
my
first
R
programming
package.
B
Maybe
you
know
about
a
year
after
I
started
that
job,
and
that
was
my
start
of
Open
Source
Actuarial
stuff,
and
that
was
about
four
years
ago
and
so
basically,
at
a
certain
point,
I
started
having
some
health
issues,
I
guess
you'd,
say
just
not
taking
good
care
of
myself
and
ended
up
taking
a
break
from
working
for
a
while
and
when
I
wasn't
working.
B
You
know
so
that
is
kind
of
so
I
took
a
couple
years
off
and
I
wasn't
really
even
thinking
about
Actuarial
stuff
too
much,
and
then
some
people
reached
out
to
me
based
on
work
that
I
had
already
been
doing,
and
they
said,
hey
look
at
this
guy.
He
used
to
do
this
stuff,
let's
add
them
to
our
LinkedIn
group.
B
So
someone
made
a
LinkedIn
group
and
they
found
me
because
they
knew
about
me
and
they
added
me
to
the
LinkedIn
group
and
I
ended
up
building
a
website
for
their
LinkedIn
group
and
now
I
get
to
participate
in
this
small
community
of
Open,
Source,
actuaries
and
I
love,
looking
at
all
the
different
projects
and
talking
to
the
maintainers
and
seeing
what
they
think
is
interesting
and
and
so
it's
just
something.
I
have
a
lot
of
fun
doing
now.
A
A
Just
learning,
learning
about
code,
more
about
coding,
learning
more
about
Open
Source
and
getting
involved
in
different
communities.
Okay,
I
have
a
really
embarrassing
question.
First
off
Laura,
hey
Laura,
she
said:
oh,
it's
team
math
day.
I
purposely
didn't
ask
you
this.
When
I
first
met
you
and
then
like,
even
when
we
were
backstage,
but
what
is
it
actuary?
Because
in
my
head,
I
thought
it
was
an
accountant,
but
then,
whenever
I
hear
you
talk,
you're
like
talking
about
our
programming
and
stuff
like
they
combed.
B
Right
and
and
so
basically,
an
insurance
company
has
to
pay
money
for
claims
and
a
claim,
and
at
least
in
life
insurance
would
be
if
somebody
has
a
life
insurance
policy
and
then
they
die.
That
would
be
a
claim,
and
so
we
don't
know
when
people
are
going
to
die
and
that's
the
most
common
actuary
joke
is.
Oh,
you
can
tell
me
when
I
die.
Well,
they
don't
really
know
when
you're
going
to
die,
but
there's
some
future
uncertainty
around.
B
What's
going
to
happen
with
the
insurance
claims,
and
so
the
actuaries
are
responsible
for
maintaining
the
financial
health
of
the
company
and
to
estimate
future
risks.
So
an
accountant
deals
with
cash
flows
that
exist
and
are
certain
maybe
and
the
actuary
is
like
an
accountant
but
maybe
dealing
with
cash
flows
that
are
uncertain
and
there's
people
that
know
a
lot
more
than
I
do
I
was
in
the
industry
for
about
two
years
and
a
kind
of
specialized
role,
yeah.
B
A
B
There's
different
levels
of
kind
of
proprietariness
and
standardness
of
a
technology
stack
and
so
actuaries
are
beginning
to
adopt
more
you'd,
say,
standard
technology
Stacks,
but
there
are
still
proprietary,
Computing
platforms
that
are,
you
know,
really
integrated
in
with
a
lot
of
major
companies,
and
so
it's
not
clear
where
the
pendulum
will
swing
in
terms
of
open
platforms
and
closed
platforms
and
how
that's
all
going
to
pan
out
over
the
long
term.
Awesome.
A
Okay,
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
Thank
you
for
that
clarification
really
quickly.
I'll,
say
hi
to
a
couple
more
people
and
then
we'll
get
into
like
what
exactly
is
your
project
and
a
little
bit
more
about
like
what
inspired
you
to
get
involved?
You
kind
of
gave
this
a
little
bit
but
just
curious.
So
we
have
someone
joining
in
from
Amsterdam.
They
said
they're,
another
actuary,
actually,
that's
exciting,
someone
from
Zambia
Vietnam,
Ukraine
India,
so
we're
all
over
the
world.
A
All
Global
I
love
to
see
that
someone
from
Pakistan
and
Madagascar
in
Dubai.
It's
so
crazy!
How
you
all
like
find
this
but
I
guess
because
it's
GitHub
like
it's.
A
lot
of
people
are
using
GitHub
and
thank
you
all
for
tuning
in
also
I,
see
learner0418
they
tune
in
every
week.
So
really
excited
about
that.
Thank
you
for
tuning
in
all
right.
So
what
exactly
is
your
project
that
you're
coming
here
to
talk
about
sure.
B
I
mean
I,
run
a
website
and
I
guess
you
could
share
the
screen
if
you
want,
if
you're
able
to
do
that,
so
I
run
this
website
and
we
have
some
fun
features
like
internationalized.
It's
kind
of
a
gimmick
but
I
think
it's
fun,
and
this
is
why
Actuarial
open
source
and
one
thing
is
the
Actuarial
science
there's
a
lot
of
symbols.
B
There's
a
lot
of
special
knowledge
and
if
we're
able
to
turn
all
of
that
into
code,
then
people
are
going
to
maybe
be
able
to
read
it
a
little
better
and
then
it's
not
just
something
that
exists
in
a
book.
You
can,
you
know,
press
a
button
or
run
a
terminal
command
and
you
can
run
it
and
so
I
think
that
code
is
really
valuable
for
in
an
Actuarial
context,
because
we
can
move
from
having
theories
and
symbols
to
having
things
that
actually
run
and
do
work.
So
I'm
excited
about
communicating
Actuarial
Concepts
through
code.
B
We
also
have
open
source
allows
for
reproducible,
research
and
Actuarial
science.
A
lot
of
these
data
sets
are
closed.
Data
sets
it's
some
proprietary
Insurance
data
set
they're,
going
to
publish
a
report
on
something
and
it's
going
to
be
published
as
a
PDF
I
think
that
we
can
have
a
lot
more
value
in
people's
reports
and
in
people's
research.
If
they
start
having
open
data
sets,
maybe
they
anonymize
it.
B
Maybe
they
have
a
data
simulator
and
then
they're
going
to
have
reproducible
research
that
end
to
end
everything
can
be
replicated,
and
that's
really
not
the
case
in
a
lot
of
Industry
Publications,
currently,
and
and
that's
why
we
have
the
open
data
and
non-proprietary
Computing
platforms
is
just
a
lot
of
the
computation.
That's
done
exists
within
closed
Computing
platforms.
You
could
think
like
Matlab
has
certain
closed
platforms
for
engineers
to
do
their
work,
so
it's
kind
of
like
special
Actuarial
software,
which
you
would
need
a
license
to
use
and
there's
not
any
information
about
it.
B
That's
generally
available,
so
reproducible
research
is
exciting
and
also
anyone
can
get
involved.
Collaborative
space
professionals,
academics
and
enthusiasts
I.
Don't
currently
have
any
credentials
or
letters
next
to
my
name
or
anything
like
that,
so
I
think
I'd
be
an
Enthusiast
right
now,
but
really
anybody
can
kind
of
start
looking
around
and
getting
involved
and
seeing
you
know
if
there's
something
exciting
or
something
they
want
to.
B
You
know
get
involved
with,
and
then
we
have
this
project
display,
and
this
is
just
some
projects
and
if
you
click
this
button,
then
you
can
see
all
of
the
projects
and
there's
more
projects
that
I
probably
need
to
add
and
I
Implement.
These
little
features-
and
you
know
I'm
sure
I-
could
make
this
better,
but
we
have
these
projects
and
then
we
have
some
motivational
quotes
up
there
in
German,
okay,
we
have
some
motivational
quotes
and
I
really
like
these
quotes
and
I
just
try
and
keep
them.
B
A
Of
course
we
are
in
the
know
about
open
source
and
the
value
of
it,
but
I
think
it's
really
interesting
and
exciting
that
you're
bringing
it
to
things
like
like
Actuarial
science
and
all
of
that,
because
I,
don't
I
mean
maybe
I'm,
just
not
like
super
into
in
the
know
of
that
area,
but
I
do
think
other
areas
or
other
fields
can
really
benefit
from
from
open
source
and
like
using
open
source
principles
like
you're,
saying,
like
making
things
more
accessible,
making
people
be
able
to
run
the
code
or
run
these
formulas
inside
of
a
terminal,
rather
than
just
looking
at
like
symbols
and
stuff
like
that,
just
making
it
more
accessible
for
people,
so
I
do
think
this
is
exciting
and
I
like
that.
A
B
Just
so
can
I
show
a
couple
more
features:
I
actually
have
a
couple
things,
I'm
excited
and
so
I
might
go
through
them
quickly
and
then,
if
there's
something
you
want
me
to
expand
on.
So
this
feature
isn't
quite
I,
guess
you'd,
say
shipped
because
it's
not
accessible
from
here
kind
of
because
we
committed
to
this
internationalization
thing
and
it
would
be
very
hard
to
internationalize
a
lot
of
text.
B
But
we
have
these
interactive
python
exercises
I
kind
of
put
this
editor
together
myself
with
some
open
source
components
and
we
can
run
Python
and
the
idea
is
maybe
we
could
do
some
educational
stuff,
I
really
like
interactive
educational
exercises,
I
love
leak,
code
and
stuff
like
that,
and
so
maybe
we
could
have
some
exercises
where
you
can
grade
them
and
they
can
help.
You
learn
about
Actuarial
science
with
python
and
we
have
just
some
stuff.
B
So
there's
a
lot
of
architectural
improvements
that
you
know,
I
might
need
to
make
to
this
website
to
make
it
stable
and
then
just
one
more
thing
is
that
there
is
this
I
just
think
is
cute
is
that
you
can
have
a
react
component
and
then
you
can
type
type
some
stuff
and
then
I
do
this
I
press
this
button
and
now
I
actually
have
the
jsx.
Oh.
B
Component
itself,
so
I
like
and
so
there's
a
toggle
there's
a
prop
that
you'd
pass
in.
That
would
say
this
component
is
an
in
editor
mode,
and
then
you
would
do
that
and
then
you
click
this
button.
And
now
you
have
the
jsx
for
a
component
which
is
not
an
editor
mode
but
has
the
same
content
so
I
think
it's
a
fun
kind
of
content,
authoring
workflow
that.
A
B
B
That
has
some
kind
of
sandboxed
python
that
is
executing
this
code,
so
using
webassembly
to
execute
python
code
and
having
a
nice
way
to
grade
the
questions
and
then
a
way
for
people
to
look
through
and
have
the
questions
that
they
want
to
and
like
just
how
to
say
a
way
to
navigate
through
a
collection
of
questions
where
there's
progress,
indicators
and
stuff
like
that
really
trying
to
build
and
education
platform,
that's
Pleasant
to
use-
and
you
know
maybe
it's
just
for
Actuarial
stuff
over
here.
B
So
we're
really
not
there
I
think
that
we
want
to
migrate
to
the
app
router
features
of
nexjs
13.4
and
right
now
we
haven't
and
I'm
kind
of
waiting
for
a
big
chunk
of
time,
I'm
in
school,
so
I
don't
have
time
to
ship
these
big
changes
so
maybe
someday
we'll
have
app
router,
which
will
make
it
easier
to
do
these
kind
of
server
side
things
and
you
know,
have
optimistic,
rendering
and
stuff
like
that,
and
then
the
educational
platform
would
probably
be
a
little
bit.
B
It'd
be
it'd,
be
ready,
so
I'll
finish
school
in
maybe
a
year,
and
then
maybe
I'll
do
it
or
maybe
I
won't
because
there's
other
stuff
that
I'm
excited
about
like
the
actual
kind
of
kind
of
computational
research,
open,
reproducible
research-
so
here
is
some
kind
of
re
reproducible.
Research
would
be
in
this
benchmarks
repository
and
this
benchmarks
repository
is
something
that
we
run
and
we
pay
someone
I,
guess
fifty
dollars
an
hour
for
four
hours
a
week
to
try
and
ship
improvements
to
it
and
that's
funded
through
our
open
Collective.
B
So
we
have
this
open.
Collective
I
put
about
five
thousand
dollars.
My
savings
into
it
a
while
ago,
so
our
current
burn
rate
is
ten
thousand
dollars
a
year
and
we
maintain
these
benchmarks
where
we
have
various
Actuarial
tasks.
How
long
do
they
take
to
run
and
do
they
all
produce
the
same
result?
So
this
is
something
that's
a
lot
of
fun
and
we
want
to
publish
this
to
journal
of
Open
Source
software
or
something
like
that.
A
B
Love
it
and
it's
a
lot
of
complexity,
so
it
just
depends
on
you
know.
Maybe
I
will
never
finish
it.
If
I
don't
get
the
passion
to
do
it
or
maybe
I
will
so
it.
It
really
just
depends
on.
You
know
what
happens
with
my
life,
but
regardless
of
where
things
go,
I
think
it's
a
lot
of
fun
and
it's
a
lot
of
learning
that
I
get
to
do
as
well.
This.
A
Is
so
fun
and
I?
Think
okay,
I
have
like
a
limited
understanding
of
like
the
open
research
part
of
the
this
like?
Can
you
explain
more
on
like
how
this
is
beneficial?
I
do
see
actuaries
like
saying
already
they're,
like
all
their
actuary
professionals,
will
benefit
a
lot
by
having
a
place
to
check
practical
examples,
great
idea,
but
yeah
can
it
help
me
understand
this
part
a
little
bit
more
yeah.
B
Yeah,
so
this
is
various
calculations,
and
so
I
used
to
be
a
life
actuary
I'm,
currently
in
more
of
a
car
insurance
type
company,
not
exactly
more
of
a
commercial
lines,
you'd
say,
but
so
my
knowledge
is
mostly
about
life.
Actuaries
and
modeling
life
insurance
is
kind
of
its
own
discipline,
so
we
have
something
which
would
be
a
basic
term.
Life
insurance
policy,
a
basic
term
life
insurance
policy
means
that
you
know
if
you
die
within
the
next
10
years.
You'll
get
the
payout.
B
So
this
is
an
example
of
a
life
insurance
model
which
comes
from
a
project
from
a
really
great
actuary.
Well,
I
think
model
X,
okay,
I
I
went
to
the
long,
the
wrong
link
life
web
okay.
So
this
is
built
by
the
person
who
made
the
LinkedIn
group.
So
by
the
way
we
have
a
LinkedIn
group,
LinkedIn
group,
Actuarial,
opensource.org
join
the
LinkedIn
group,
I,
don't
know,
and
we
also
have
a
GitHub
organization.
Both
of
these
were
set
up
by
a
Japanese
actuary
at
PWC.
B
There
is
a
graphical
user
interface
that
is
implemented
in
the
spider
IDE
for
Python
and
I'm,
more
of
a
vs
code
user,
so
I
want
something
that
works
in
vs
code,
but
maybe
he'll
come
out
with
something.
But
so
these
are
a
lot
of
life
insurance
models
that
he
has
built,
and
so
what
I
did
is
I
started
the
benchmarks,
Repository
story,
and
so
here
we
have
python
Lively
basic
term
M.
B
We
see
that
it
takes
689
milliseconds
for
our
sample
calculation,
these
run
in
GitHub
actions
and
automatically
populate
everything
they
do
they
do,
and
so
this
is
python
Lively
basic
term
M
I
went
and
did
a
implementation
from
scratch,
which
is
producing
the
same
result,
which
is
553
and
then
I
did
an
implementation.
That
is
more
of
an
array-based
programming.
These
programming
methods
are
recursive
and
use.
Caching,
it's
similar
to
top-down
dynamic
programming,
if
you're
familiar
with
that,
but
this
Jax
is
basically
array
based.
B
A
B
Another
life
insurance
model-
this
is
something
that
is
just
about
mortality
tables.
So
we
have
different
mortality
table
software
and
we
made
a
little
Benchmark
for
those
mortality
table
software
and
then
this
is
something
saying
just
another
thing.
So
we
have
these
tasks
and
I
just
went
ahead
and
set
them
all
up
when
we
set
these
up.
B
Originally,
we
saw
that
there
was
a
discrepancy
between
the
number
of
rows
that
they
produced
and
so
I
went
and
opened
issues
on
the
relevant
repositories
and
worked
to
close
them,
at
least
on
the
Julia
side,
the
our
guy
fixed
them
right
away
pretty
quickly,
and
then
I
went
and
kind
of
reworked
a
lot
of
stuff
within
this
repository
and
submitted
a
pull
request
so
that
we
can
have
these
numbers
sit
here
and
be
the
same.
A
This
is
so
cool,
like
my
mind,
is
blown
I
didn't
know,
that's.
This
is
how
like
insurance
and
stuff
worked
at
all,
so
this
is
so
cool.
Wait,
I
have
some
questions.
There's
questions
in
the
the
the
chat
that
I'm
starring,
but
I
do
want
to
just
quickly
see.
Are
you
able
to
show
the
GitHub
action
by
any
chance,
because
now
I'm
curious
about
it?
Well,.
B
So
we
have
this
file
generate
readme.pi,
which
is
going
through
so
each
of
these
each
of
these,
so
we
have
Julia,
Python
and
R
Julia,
Python
and
R.
Each
are
going
to
execute
some
set
of
benchmarks
and
generate
a
yaml
file.
Now
this
yaml
file
isn't
perfect,
because
then
we
would
have
how
to
say
we
want
things
readme.md.
We
want
things
to
be
grouped
by
the
type
of
Benchmark.
We.
B
Grouped
by
the
language,
so
we
have
to
do
some
processing
on
these
yaml
files
bills
wherever
they
are.
We
have
to
do
some
processing
on
these
yaml
files,
so
that
things
are
grouped
by
this,
so
to
kind
of
get
the
format
incorrect.
We
have
generate
readme.pi
which
goes
through
and
does
some
sort
of
thing.
Who
knows
what
this
does
right.
B
B
Some
template
and
then
this
readme
generator
readme.pi
is
going
to
take
the
template
and
then
it's
just
going
to
concatenate
the
results
below
it.
Oh,
so
that's
what
generate
readme.pi
does.
If
we
look
into
the
GitHub
actions,
then
basically
it
sets
up
our.
It
sets
up
Julia.
It
sets
up
python.
Now,
if
we
look
into
python,
say
we're
going
to
check
out
set
up
python,
pip
install
and
then
we
have
this
upload
artifact
step
and
we
upload
these
artifacts
and
then
to
create
the
readme.
B
B
Yeah,
so
it
was
a
fun
little
bit
of
work
and
just
one
thing
that
I
really
like
about
GitHub
actions
is
just
the
it's
very
common.
So
if
you
start
asking
gpt4
questions
about
a
GitHub
action,
it
will
just
totally
tear
through
that,
for
you
and
I
hear
there's
some
new
tooling
about
like
a
GitHub
actions,
kind
of
extension
for
vs
code
or.
B
B
Github
actions
it's
great
to
work
within
kind
of
a
tooling
that
is
so
standard
and
so
widely
used
it
just
it's
great
yeah.
A
No
I
love
it.
It's
what
it's!
What
got
me
interested
I
GitHub
before
I
work
there
so
love
it
wait.
Thank
you
for
showing
us
that
there's
a
question
here
from
someone
a
viewer
on
YouTube,
they
said
awesome.
Do
you
also
touch
on
competing
risk
events.
B
I,
don't
even
know
what
that
is
to
be
honest,
so
I
I
really
do
have
a
pretty
narrow
scope
of
understanding.
I
was
in
the
industry
for
two
years
and
I
was
doing
data
analysis
to
support
assumptions
that
go
into
the
model.
So
I
would
do
some
data
analysis
and
I
would
say.
Oh,
it
looks
like
one
percent
of
people
die
if
they're
in
this
demographic
or
something
like
that
and
that's
a
simplification.
B
A
Gotcha,
that's
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
then
someone
else
just
made
a
comment
saying
many
big
companies
might
be
interested
in
supporting
projects
like
this
Tesla
with
car
insurance,
Uber,
Insurance
drivers
and
careers
Etc
well,.
B
Yeah
my
thoughts
on
that
are
we're.
Gonna
go
GitHub,
casualty,
Actuarial,
okay,
here
we
are
so.
This
is
a
professional
Society.
An
Actuarial
life
is
kind
of
dominated
by
professional
societies
who
give
you
credentials
after
after
you
take
some
series
of
exams
and
these
credentials
allow
you
to
sign
off
on
regulatory
paperwork,
so
casualty.
B
Actuarial
Society
has
a
GitHub
account
and
I
think
it's
the
coolest
thing
ever
so
what
this
person
was
talking
about,
he's
saying
Tesla
with
a
car,
insurance
and
Uber
is
also
a
car,
so
both
of
those
would
be
typically
kind
of
people
involved
in
those
activities
would
be
members
of
the
casualty,
Actuarial,
Society,
gotcha
and
so
I
have
all
my
experience
in
life.
Insurance
I
couldn't
say
too
much
about
it,
but
this
is
actually
the
most
popular
piece
of
Insurance
Open
Source
software
in
the
world,
and
it
only
has
145
Stars.
A
B
But
this
is,
this
is
just
really
cool
and
it's
got
a
great
documentation
site,
and
this
is
kind
of
what
would
be
relevant.
I
think
that
if
Tesla
was
interested
in
supporting
someone
that
it
would
make
a
lot
of
sense
to
support
the
casualty
Actuarial
society's
efforts,
because
they
just
you
know
they
have
resources,
they
have
people
and
I.
Think
that
they're
doing
a
great
job.
A
I'm
trying
to
find
it
a
team,
lighter
python,
I'm,
put
it
up
on
this
folks,
okay,
this
is
this
is
really
cool
like
this.
B
A
A
whole
nother
world
that
I'm
getting
exposed
to
there
is
somebody
in
the
chat,
and
this
is
a
question
I
was
going
to
ask
anyways-
is
how
can
people
get
involved
in
this.
B
It's
you
know
it's
hard
to
say
because
it's
like
I'm
not
having
the
most
time
to
try
to
help
someone
help
me
if
that
makes
any
sense.
Sometimes
I
get
an
open
issue.
Someone
wants
to
implement
a
feature
and
I
just
say:
I'm,
not
sure
I
want
the
feature,
and
even
if
I
did
I'm,
not
sure
I'd
have
time.
So,
if
somebody,
if
I,
really
trusted
them,
then
I
would
just
let
them
do
whatever
they
wanted
like.
B
But
it's
not
really
like
I
know
anyone
so
the
benchmarks
with
the
benchmarks,
the
the
guy
that
I
pay
has
he
he
just
has
whatever
permissions
he
needs
to
do
whatever
he
wants,
but
I
think
that
you
know
getting
involved
in
Actuarial,
open
source,
I
I,
don't
know
how
easy
it
would
be
because
it's
pretty
specialized
and
you
might
not
know
what
people
want
so
overall
I
would
just
encourage
people
to
get
involved
in
open
source
and
to
just
contribute
wherever
they
can
and
to
use
their
own
knowledge
and
their
own
needs
and
to
just
what
are
they
passionate
about
really
so
I
I
just
kind
of
stumbled
into
this,
because
I
have
some
experience
and
I've
seen
this
stuff
I
mean
I'll,
be
basically
if
you
go
and
you
start
reading
through
these
packages.
B
If
you
start
understanding,
Actuarial
science,
you
start
working
towards
maybe
even
becoming
an
actuary,
then
in
the
long
term,
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
that
you
can
do.
But
overall,
it's
not
so
clear
to
me
that
there's
an
easy
path
to
contributing,
because
you
don't
know
what
the
needs
of
business
are
and
you
don't
necess
yeah,
really
that
I
guess
that's.
A
B
B
If
somebody
is
an
absolute
beast
at
xjs,
13.4
app
router,
please
run
the
website,
but
please
have
some
high
quality
work
so
that
I
can
trust
you
and
then
maybe
you
can
get
some
funding
from
the
open
Collective,
but
it
wouldn't
be
that
much.
It
would
not
be
as
much
as
we
pay
our
other
friend
just
because
I
do
not
have
that
much
money.
A
B
Don't
you
have
sponsors
well
at
the
time
I
just
wasn't
aware
of
it.
I
mean
I
started
this
a
while
ago
and
I
started
it,
because
I
had
seen
an
open
Collective
for
unified
JS,
which
is
some
markdown
parsing
software,
which
I
used
to
do
a
lot
when
I
was
in
more
educational
technology
interested,
but
I
do
actually
sponsor
someone
on
GitHub.
B
So
if
we
my
profile
I
sponsor
Ellie,
Lam
NZ,
who
actually
makes
some
the
kind
of
the
Python
running
component
on
the
website,
oh
that's
cool
because
it
just
saved
me
so
much
time
yeah.
It
was
like.
Well,
if
I
give
him
five
bucks
a
month,
maybe
I
can
do
that
for
a
year
and
if
I
cancel
or
change
to
someone
else,
but
you
know
they
worked
on
it
a
bunch
and
it
helped
me
out
a
bunch
and
I
spend
money
on
stupid
stuff.
B
Yeah
and
so
I
also
opened
a
bunch
of
issues
on
their
stuff,
so
maybe
they'll
change
it,
but
I.
Just
I
didn't
I
I'm,
actually
kind
of
just
taking
the
internals
from
their
software
and
reworking
it
as
necessary.
But
still
it's
such
a
solid
foundation
and
and
yeah.
B
Actually,
one
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that
the
benchmarks-
you
know
they're
pretty
concrete
stuff,
so
if
you
actually
want
to
make
something
faster
and
you
think
you
can
make
it
faster,
maybe
I
misspoke
earlier,
if
you
can
make
some
of
these
benchmarks
run
faster
and
you
want
to
go
for
it,
go
for
it
and
submit
a
PR
really
and
also
like
there's
a
lot
of
computations
from
this
okay.
B
B
So
it's
just
a
question
of
if
you
know
if
we
want
to
have
those
as
benchmarks,
if
if
we
should
have
those
or
not
and
and
yeah,
and
also
if
someone
wants
to
give
us
money,
you
know
but
I'm
about
to
re
I'm
about
to
refill
the
funds
so
I
put
about
5
000
in
or
down
and
I'm,
probably
gonna
bring
it
back
up
to
5000
within
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
Yeah.
A
Yeah,
that's
a
good
point,
there's
other
ways
to
contribute
in
terms
of
like
financially
in
terms
of
just
using
the
tool
testing
it
there's
there's
lots
of
different
ways,
but
I
kind
of
want
to
Pivot
into
like
just
your
open
source
experience
a
little
bit
just
talking
about
that.
So
as
a
as
a
and
I
think
you
kind
of
went
into
this
as
like
a
core
contributor
or
someone
maintaining
a
website.
What
are
some
challenges
that
you
might
have
like
come
across
or
any
struggles
that
you've
had
just
navigating
all
this.
B
A
B
I
guess
getting
to
kind
of
have
working
relationships
with
different
maintainers
is
something
that
I
really
like,
and
you
know
I
think
when
you
get
involved
in
this
stuff,
you
might
think.
Oh,
maybe
if
I
do
a
bunch
of
stuff
I
can
get
on
open
source
Friday
and
that's
what
might
motivate
people
the
maybe
someday
the
flashing
lights
and
I'll
be
a
star
I'll,
be
a
celebrity
of
Open
Source
or
you
know
whatever
might
motivate
someone
to
do
the
work
and
after
you
do
it
for
a
while.
You
start
to
be
like.
B
Oh,
this
guy
asked
me
to
do
a
code
review
for
him
and
he's
writing
cool
software
and
I
get
to
see
this
code
review
and
think
about
it
or
I
get
to
open
this
issue
I'm
using
this
stuff.
Just
having
like
a
kind
of
this
working
relationship
and
being
able
to
contribute
to
other
people's
stuff
and
other
people
contributing
to
your
stuff,
you
know:
we've
got
three:
we've
got
two
people
that
are
not
me
that
did
contributions
to
the
benchmarks,
repository
for
example,
so.
A
B
Love
I
I,
just
like
seeing
that
I
like
working
with
the
person
that
we
pay
from
the
open
Collective.
He
is
just
such
a
great
he's.
Just
so
I
don't
know
he
just
does
such
a
great
job,
so
just
getting
to
know
more
people
and
getting
to
work
with
people
and
talk
about
ideas.
The
work
itself
really
feels
like
the
reward
to
me.
Yeah.
A
S
have
been
able
to
chat
with
before
something
like
that
like
just
meet
great
minds
and
you're
like
oh,
my
gosh,
like
even
how
we
we
met
each
other
at
the
kcdc
conference
and
I
heard
you
talking
about
been
Source.
I
was
like
wait
a
minute.
What
you're
doing
sounds
really
really
cool,
so
yeah
I
I
agree
with
that.
My
other
question
I
know
that,
like
I'm
kind
of
like
maybe
going
off
script,
so
I
hope.
A
Cool
my
other
question
is:
how
do
you
think-
and
this
might
be
a
tough
question
so
take
your
time
to
think
about
it.
I've
I
do
feel
like
open
source
and
and
Tech
in
general
does
lack
a
certain
amount
of
diversity.
B
That's
that
is
a
very
hard
question,
and
so
there's
there's
kind
of
two
two
things
that
you
know:
kind
of
I
try
to
make
them
go
together,
but
they're
pretty
separate
and
those
two
things
are
Actuarial
science
and
open
source
yeah,
and
so
you
might
have
to
approach
that
question
from
two
different
angles.
B
You
know.
Basically,
they
they
might
want
to
I
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
a
lot
of
these.
The
insurance
industry
is
very
centered
in
the
midwest.
As
far
as
I'm
aware
and
a
lot
of
the
big
Actuarial
universities
would
be
University
of
Illinois,
Champaign
or
University
of
Nebraska
at
Lincoln,
and
the
surrounding
areas
are
not
particularly
diverse
and
so
I
I.
Don't
know
what
to
do
about
that.
B
Honestly,
you
have
companies
that
are
largely
in
the
Midwest
and
you
have
universities
that
are
in
the
Midwest
and
you
have
a
bunch
of
you're
going
to
have
the
demographics
of
the
Midwest
generally
and
in
terms
of
Open
Source
I
I,
don't
I,
don't
really
I,
don't
really
know.
I
mean
the
high
school
that
I
went
to
was
very
diverse
and
we
had
a
lot
of
different
types
of
people
that
were
interested
in
science
and
I.
I.
Guess:
I,
guess
that
that
question
is
out
of
my
league
that.
A
Is
what
I
would
say
about
that
question?
I
asked
I
asked
you
a
pretty
intense
question
and
I
think
that's
a
fair
answer.
I
think,
but
I
do
think
even
things
like
this
help
with
improving
diversity
and
inclusion
like
just
being
on
the
stream,
because
then
you
get
other
people
who
will
get
a
chance
to
learn
about
what
you're
doing
and
your
project
like
we
already
saw
in
the
beginning,
where
you
know
people
tuning
in
from
Sweden
and
zombie
and
stuff
like
that.
A
My
open
source
questions
to
you.
Let
me
just
check
the
chat
if
there's
any
extra
like
thoughts
that
people
have
here.
Oh
someone
just
said:
reinsurance
models
and
underwriting
related
models.
Okay
I
think
they
were
talking
about
when
you
sh,
you
were
demoing.
A
B
So,
that's
why
you
know
people
that
know
things
that
I,
don't
know,
really
I,
think
to
move
things
along.
We
might
need
a
lot
more
involvement
from
senior
Actuarial
staff
and
they're
going
to
need
to
actively
try
to
do
that
transfer
of
Knowledge
from
the
closed
doors
to
the
open
world.
So
we
we
need
insurance
people
that
have
been
working
in
the
industry
for
a
long
time
to
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
making
everything
more
open.
But
I
do
my
best
with
the
knowledge
that
I
have
yeah.
A
You've
done
a
lot
you
already,
you
already
taught
me
a
lot
about
Actuarial
science
I
had
no
clue
what
exactly
it
was
someone's
asking,
I
guess
if
you're,
okay,
how
can
people
get
connected
with
you,
I.
B
Mean
I'm
on
LinkedIn,
and
so
you
can
find
me
on
LinkedIn.
My
name
is
as
far
as
I'm
aware,
pretty
unique,
so
yeah
Matthew,
caceres
and
I'm
on
LinkedIn.
B
A
I'll
put
these
up
and
let
me
just
remind
people
of
different
links.
We
got
actuarials
opensource.org,
which
is
the
website
you
developed
and
I.
Think
there
was
a
note
somewhere
of
how
how
people
can
contribute
I.
Think
you
have
written
and
I
think
you
might
have
forgotten
like
you
need
playwright
test
and
GitHub
API
requests.
B
Website
sucks
it's
built
by
a
guy
who
has
never
professionally
built
websites
before
and
built
it
on
weekends
and
after
work,
so
we
in
particular
it's
it's
actually
very
hard.
We
have.
We
call
the
GitHub
API
a
lot,
because
we
fetch
those
stars
and
forks
for
certain
UI
components
and
that
those
those
API
calls
take
time.
So
we
need
some
sort
of
way
of
creating
mock
data,
so
that
page
loads
are
fast
honestly,
if
you
just
try
to
make
the
website
better.
B
Just
if
someone
can
make
the
website
better
and
that's
that
that
you
need
no
nothing
about
Actuarial
science
to
do
that,
just
make
the
website
stop
sucking,
make
my
code
stop
sucking
and
no
I'm
not
asking
for
any
features.
I
just
want
refactors
quality
of
life,
improvements
and
stuff,
like
that,
and
in
my
personal
website,
I,
don't
have
a
personal
website.
Actuarial
open
source.org
is
a
website
that
I
run
I,
guess
I'll
call
it
a
personal
website.
B
A
A
I
loved,
like
just
kind
of
seeing
like
how
you
can
incorporate
all
these
things,
like
bench,
Lifetime,
Insurance,
I,
didn't
even
know
about
all
of
this
and
you've
like
Incorporated
it
with
GitHub
action.
I,
think
that
was
really
educational
to
see
and
just
learning
about
your
open
source.
Journey
was
amazing
as
well.
I
do
want
to
just
ask
you
some
like
fun
questions
that
I
normally
ask
for
people.
B
Yeah,
so
my
mom
makes
me
oatmeal.
She
just
made
me
oatmeal
today,
I
live
with
my
parents
and
she
makes
this
oatmeal.
It
has
almonds,
it
has
pecans,
it
has
blueberries
and
dates
and
apples,
and
it's
just
incredible
and
she
makes
a
big
thing
of
it,
so
that
I
don't
have
to
worry
about
cooking
stuff,
and
she
puts
a
this
Post-It
note
on
it.
That
says
so
loved
with
a
heart.
Oh
I
know.
A
B
It
would
have
been
I,
think
C
plus
plus,
which
I
didn't
really
learn,
but
they
taught
us
in
high
school
I
joined
a
programming
class
and
I
had
no
interest
in
programming
I.
Just
someone
else
kind
of
wrote
me
into
it,
and
I
wasn't
very
good
at
it,
and
in
college
I
had
a
computer
science
minor,
and
there
was
some
Java
involved
and
again
I
didn't
really
like
it
and
then
once
I
could
see
that
it
solves
real
problems.
B
A
B
I
would
probably
just
try
to
I
I
think
that
without
work,
it's
really
hard
to
motivate
myself
to
actually
do
open
source
work,
because
there's
just
nothing
there's
just
like
nothing
really
and
so
like
once
you
have
someone.
That's
like
hey
get
this
done,
get
this
done,
then
you
get
into
that
mode
and
and
it's
like,
but
if,
if
I
really
was
not
so
I
guess,
if
I
didn't
need
to
work,
I
would
still
work.
A
B
That
point
you'd
probably
be
doing
a
like
an
Iron
Man
just
because
the
diversity
of
training
allows
you
to
kind
of
avoid
injury.
So
I
I
just
been
running
10K
road
races
since
January
and
I
really
enjoy
it,
but
I'm
a
little
injury
prone.
So
I'm
trying
to
work
through
some
injuries
and
in
the
meantime,
I've
been
swimming
and
riding
a
bike.
A
little
bit
and
I
still
run,
but
I'd
like
to
be
at
30
to
40
miles
per
week
and
I
can
really
only
handle
15
right.
B
It's
it's!
It's
aspirational,
it's
not
impressive!
It's
it's
aspirational,
which
is
maybe
like
unimpressive
to
have
people
that
aspire
to
things
that
don't
achieve
them,
but
that's
how
I
am.
A
B
You
just
I
bet
you
just
say
Jeff
so
that
you
can
kind
of
mess
with
people
you're
like.
Oh,
if
I
say
GIF,
then
it's
like
I,
don't
know:
yeah
like
I,
don't
eat
pizza
just
to
tell
people
I,
don't
eat
pizza,
just
to
shock
them,
so
I
think
it's
the
same
thing
with
you
and
maybe
saying
Jeff
I'm,
not
sure.
No.
B
Okay,
all
right
all
right,
I
got
it.
A
Wait
there's
like
another
I
hope
you
don't
mind
answering
this
question.
It's
okay.
If
you
don't
know
it,
someone
said
hi
from
the
UK
does
actual
open
source.
B
Exactly
yes,
yes,
that
is
the
next
thing
that
Cedric
is
working
on
so
Cedric
does
this
work
and
again
it's
four
hours
a
week,
but
you
know
we're
working
on
trying
to
publish
these
benchmarks
to
the
Journal
of
Open,
Source
software,
or
something
like
that
and
then
after
that,
then
he's-
and
you
know
when,
when
I'm
done
with
school
or
whatever
time,
I
can
find
we're
very
interested
in
simulated
Life.
Insurance
data
sets
because
there
aren't
any
right
now
and
I
I
just
think
it's.
B
It's
really
useful
for
reproducible
research,
because
that
data
is
proprietary,
and
so
we
need
to
do
more
research
on
methods
and
to
do
that.
Research
on
methods,
I
think
that
we're
going
to
want
those
data
simulators.
So
that
is
a
great
question,
and
that
is
something
that
that
I
really
think
is
important.
A
B
Yeah
and
so
I,
don't
really
listen
to
Beyonce
albums
I,
listen
to
a
lot
of
indie
rock
from
the
2000s
typically,
but
on
103.3
Hot,
103
jams
in
Kansas
City.
They
have
Beyonce
songs,
yeah
and
I,
really
liked
that
song
cup
it
and
then
one
day,
I
heard
the
song
cuff
it,
but
it
sounded
different
and
so
I
found
out
that
it
was
actually
the
cover.
The
sorry,
the
cuff
it
wetter
remix,
and
that
song
makes
me
feel
like
a
baddie
I.
A
Can't
lie
yeah,
yeah
I
went
to
her
her
concert
on
Tuesday
I
felt
like
a
daddy
the
whole
time,
I
love
it
the
great
great
song,
Choice,
and
also
a
great
session
I
really
enjoyed
talking
to
you
again.
I
want
to
say
thanks
to
the
people
in
the
comments
for
always
staying
engaged
and
tuning
in
always
brings
me
to
like
be
like
I
gotta
do
open
source
Friday
again,
people
are
interested
in
it.
A
So
really
love
that,
and
then
also
thank
you
to
you,
Matthew
for
coming
on
sharing
your
time
and
your
knowledge
and
and
putting
in
this
effort
to
help
build
out
the
the
open
source
Community
for
actuaries
and
along
with
all
the
rest
of
your
community.
Who
is
helping
to
to
build
this
out
as
well
for
folks
who
are
interested
and
want
to
check
it
out
or
want
to
help
improve
the
website,
go
to
actuaro,
Actuarial
opensworks.org,
and
then
this
is.
This
is
Matthew's
LinkedIn,
but
yeah.
Don't
don't
don't
spam
him.
B
Yeah
I,
guess
yeah
and
thank
you
for
like
having
me
on
this
is
like
such
a
cool
opportunity
and
even
preparing
for
it.
I
got
the
opportunity
to
just
think
about.
You
know
the
just
to
spend
time
thinking
about
you
know
what
this
is
and
stuff
like
that,
so
it's
helped
with
a
lot
of
perspective.
Yeah
awesome.
A
I'm
glad
I'm
good
all
right,
y'all
I'm
gonna
head
off
now,
but
bye.
