I don’t do any audio work, but just spent an hour watching a really thoughtful and entertaining essay on remaking Audacity 🎧 Interesting to learn how open source tools are remade, especially all of the UX and HCD stuff. youtu.be/QYM3TWf_G38?...

No, but I was expecting at least one other person at posit::conf to have a %>% tattoo, what gives? #positconf2025 #rstats #databs
Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see 1. The data it was trained & evaluated on 2. The code 3. Model architecture 4. Model weights. DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.
About to spend 80kr/month until march, just to watch severance episodes the day they come out.
Wait, I spent my whole damn life thinking the dollar sign had two lines through the S, am I having an aneurysm?
🧬 How to implement, visualise, and interpret simulations of genetic drift in R. emilmalta.github.io/blog/2025-01... Spent a long time exploring Wright-Fisher model. And made a shinylive app! #rstats #shinylive #genetics #genomics #databs #bioinformatics #biostatistics #populationgenetics #databs
Wright-Fisher simulations in R – Emil Nikki Malta
How do random changes shape the genetic makeup of a population? Explore the Wright-Fisher model to understand genetic drift, visualize its effects, how to implement it in R.

Trying to stay productive with a sick toddler and an infant, running on <4 hours of sleep, guys I may have lost it.
Really trying to make an effort not to get caught up in the stupid Trump news cycle again, but with Greenland on his grocery list it’s damn near impossible.
Hi hello, I wrote up a talk I've given a few time to uni students, on exploratory data analysis with demographics data. Check it out here: emilmalta.github.io/blog/2025-01... #rstats #tidyverse #ggplot2 #databs #dataviz #datascience

Threads stealing from bluesky? pls, all the instagram features i actually use are stolen from snapchat, meta’s been on this grift since day 1.
Both of my kids got their legal names by me filling out a form on my phone, truly an age of wonders we live in. Not even a laptop, just my fat thumbs racing across an iPhone SE screen. Honestly, they’re lucky their names didn’t autocorrect into something dumb.
Hot take (i guess): Answering a data question by someone needing your help with a snarky “depends on what you mean by x, y and z” doesn’t make you sound smart, it makes you sound kinda mean.
One thing I didn’t expect when I started running, was the amount of jocks and teenagers cheering me on and shouting nice thing at me as I pass🏃
When I was 5, I loved science, which I took to be planets and magnets and chemicals and shit. Soon I realized science was a collective human activity, and these were just the objects of its attention. Anyway, whenever I read an OpEd on how science isn't political, I think "Are you 5 years old?"
“what idiot wrote this garbage?!” > git blame spaghetti.qmd me. it’s always me
I have yet to read anything even remotely as beautiful as this ascii-only gamefaqs walkthrough of Super Metroid with even margins, by rs1n. No double spaces, just careful choice of words. Gorgeous poetry.
Brendaniel@brendaniel.bsky.social · 2y agonothing I hate more (in this specific moment) than the slow death of the text walkthrough, I don't want to stutter through some dumbass video with 8,000 ads to figure out where the golden secrets are in Fuckshit 2024. I just need a picture and a small paragraph, please god.
I just read the dumb base R vs. tidyverse thread, and kind of want to throw up a little.
How much of that “80 hrs/wk” is just playing diablo 4 and elden ring? I have 2 kids (not 12) and can’t even get through 20 minutes of mario kart without tearing up.
Despite a massive head start, BlueSky has now overtaken Threads in the US 👇
🎲 Genetic drift 🔗 tinyurl.com/39e4k2nu I used to be obsessed with allele freq trajectories in uni. #rstats #ggplot2 #dataviz #bioinformatics
🏥 Health expenditure 📉 Trends in demographic health indicators. US is an outlier 🔗 tinyurl.com/39rsdcnu I like the subtle text outline from ggshadowtext #rstats #ggplot2 #dataviz #databs
