Things I thought before I had children: - I will only buy one pram/buggy - I will not cut crusts off bread - #rstats is better than Python Only one of these beliefs I still hold 🤓

This works really well and is exactly how I make most of my bar plots look anyway so I’ve gone from my own custom function to ggauto and haven’t looked back 👍🏻
Nicola Rennie@nrennie.bsky.social · 2mo agoHere's how quickly you can create plots using 'ggauto' in #RStats using this week's #TidyTuesday data as an example 📊 In just one line of code you get a bar chart, arranged from highest to lowest. #DataViz
i'm looking for interesting teaching examples where (1) random effects/multilevel models predict better than glmnet (2) glmnet predicts better than random effects #rstats #statistics
Most charities and nonprofits have more data than they know what to do with. The capacity and expertise to use it is the missing piece. That's the gap we want to help close, learn more and apply for our Pro bono support: www.jumpingrivers.com/pro-bono/
On my way to #EGU26, perfect time to drop a new post! 🗺️ Something I've been wanting to write about: Mercator projections still showing up in high-profile journals. So here it is: projections you should stop using (for most things) 👇 #gis #rstats #dataviz dominicroye.github.io/blog/map-pro...

As someone who already has 5 IDEs on their computer, this sounds like a string contender for 6th. #idepolygamy #rstats #pydata
Frank Harrell@f2harrell.bsky.social · 5mo agoI have a new favorite editor/IDE: Zed. Open-source, blazing fast, built-in AI operability, easy to use. Heard that lots of developers are dropping Visual Studio Code for Zed. Has R and Quarto extensions. zed.dev

They grow up so fast 🥹 I still remember when Quarto was first released and I hopped on the new wagon immediately of course 🥳

Counting the times I thought I was opening a clean dataset that was in fact not clean.

Recommendations for a tidy #rstats package that creates dummy data from a data dictionary? Thank you!
Can't wait to try this out. Always an Alpha tester 👋🏻

#AdventOfCode Day 08 - both parts using igraph! #rstats igraph is superspeedy. pivot_wider() is slow, which to be fair creates 1k columns so that I can get the pairings. Will be a better way, but I was keen to get to igraph asap. First for loop this year 😀 (but I failed Day 03 and skipped Day 04).
#AdventOfCode Day 07 Part I & Test data only Can I please get 0.25 ⭐ for solving it for the test input, but running out of memory for the real input 😅
#AdventOfCode Day 06 - both parts 🥳💃 Knew I wanted to do today's in #rstats instead of #pydata as soon as I saw it. Nice wrangling. Some duplication in code, but don't have time to reduce. Pun intended.
#AdventOfCode Day 02 Part I only. Not sure I could do Part II even if I was using beloved #rstats, and not struggling through with #pydata. Anyway, tomorrow is another day. Happy to do what I can given the time restrictions that I have 🚸
It's most wonderful time of the year - #AdventOfCode Day 01🎄 Having abandoned #pydata in favour of #rstats 13 years ago, I am keen to give our relationship another go. Especially as I left pre-pandas 🐼 Will revert to R as soon as the going gets tough. Probably in a day or two 😅
Perfect for me 🥳😅🤩
Eric Wastl@was.tl · 11mo agoHello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard.

Mastering typefaces and fonts in #rstats has always been harder than it should. I have tried to collect much of my relevant knowledge in this deep-dive blog post so you can spend your time picking the right typeface instead of cursing at the computer
Fonts in R
Taking control of fonts and text rendering in R can be challenging. This deep-dive teaches you everything (and then some) you need to know to keep your sanity

Emil!!! I think you're my guardian angel. Just today I was completely puzzled by a Shiny app that loaded in <2 seconds for me, but up to 40 seconds for users! Used profvis and reactlog to no avail... But then as I was scrolling on BlueSky whilst expressing in the parenting room at my workplace...
