Late-Breaking Poster submissions close MONDAY! If you have new, high-impact data, now’s the time to share it with the global cytometry community. Don't miss the chance to be part of the conference experience. Submission deadline: Monday, April 13 www.cytoconference.org/abstracts"
Also, using the UI is the MOST SUCCESSFUL WAY I've ever been able to stash and pop changes. It's so niiiiice! Heres a fun game: count how many times I mention git making me cry (in the past) in this video 😂 #positron #databs #GitHub #Git #rstats #pydata
Isabella Velásquez@ivelasq3.bsky.social · 5mo agoHave you ever seen anybody have so much fun using Git? 😄 On the Data Science Lab, @libbyheeren.bsky.social & I collaborated using Git & GitHub in Positron. It has great features for branches, PRs, & best of all: fixing merge conflicts 😰 Check the episode out (hehe): www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTv4...

Uh oh, you scrolled too far, too greedily, too deep: you have encountered a balrog.
Wow this scoring chaos seems to be an extreme case of what I say about many ad hoc analyses: no derivation of method from a clear scientific theory, no assessment of statistical properties, and decades pass before someone notices. This happens in biology too, so let’s not pick on psychology only

Merry December folks! Wanna know your most used and co-dependent geoms this past year?! I've built "Spotify Wrapped" for {ggplot2} that produces you an interactive story and analytical tools for your geom usage! #rstats Build your own report by following the docs: gpcds.com/ggplot2wrapp...
Bought my laptop back in 2020, and #plannedobsolescence be dammed, I will use it until it disintegrates. Just swapped out the dying battery, and not worrying about finding the charger after 10 minutes unplugged is nice! Similar story for last years RAM upgrades and #Linux dual-boot.

Maybe it’s a little over optimistic, but I legitimately feel like the fabled Year Of the Linux Desktop™ is really coming.
My talk from posit::conf earlier this fall on getting unstuck with #Python is now available to watch! - Ten years ago, I attempted to learn Python and it went EXTRMELY badly 😩 - I am really happy that so much tooling in this area has improved SO much since then 😌 youtu.be/pMVYl9fx1EE
