Twice a year, Hawai'i experiences a strange moment where the sun appears to be exactly overhead & anything that is completely vertical casts no shadow. Let's learn about Lāhainā Noon, subsolar points & 'Kau ka lā i ka lolo', meaning "the sun rests on the brains."

Ever used a ggplot2 extension package (like ggbump, geomtextpath, ggdensity) and wondered how they were made? @ginareynolds.bsky.social, @libbyheeren.bsky.social, and I will create an extension from scratch, live, tomorrow on the DS Lab! In #RStats and #Python! Register here: pos.it/dslab

One of the absolute best... among a backlog of absolutely terrific pieces!
