I wish claude would just admit it doesn't know instead of attempting to gaslight me

Bruce only likes to chew toys while holding them over the edge of the couch, and gets very upset when he drops them

The flexibility of `geom_polygon` lets you do basically whatever you want with your plots, e.g. (code: gist.github.com/rdboyes/7a7f...)

Cool study, and I’m convinced they’re generally correct. Very high lizardman quotient in this figure though - if you’re not getting 100% strong agreement that “betting (real money)” is a form of gambling, something is off, and the SVK sample “strong agree” for that item is <50%

Average programming language enjoyer: there are two hard things, cache invalidation and naming things #julialang programmers:

Only had time to finish part 1 of #adventofcode today - hoping to get back to p2 on the weekend though!

Two #adventofcode solutions for the price of one today, since I was too busy working yesterday. TypeScript feeling ok, but how is array.sum() not a thing!?

TypeScript #adventofcode Day 2 complete! Rocky one, really missing some of the builtin functions from my "home languages", but we got there

Doing #adventofcode in TypeScript this year since I need to learn it for work... missing #julialang but it's not too bad. Day 1:

I assume the reviewers didn’t like the original title, “oh no: we have to throw out all survey data collected in the last 1,084 days”

I am giving 2 talks abt making your data analysis outputs into polished products with the power of #RStats and #Python pkgs + my pkg {brandthis}. Talk 1: DevFest 2025. Register here: wedevfest.com Talk 2: R+AI 2025 organized by R Consortium. Register here: rconsortium.github.io/RplusAI_webs...

This may just be the best CS paper I’ve read this year. Just read the abstract and first para of the intro! The rest of the intro is really wild too, but very very good: dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

Exploring some ideas for how to create a macro-free (or macro-light) implementation of the tidyverse in #julialang (get out the jolly roger 🏴‍☠️): www.randy.pub/posts/piracy/

I’m doing my honest best to listen to this with an open mind but hooiiioill There are so many words said that have absolutely no bearing on the facts of the case podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

I miss being able to just buy a thing and have it, I hate paying for subscriptions

I really enjoyed giving a brief introduction to Julia for statisticians yesterday - thanks to Jake Grainger and Charles Dufour for organising such a great session! Slides: nrennie.rbind.io/talks/rss-in... #RStats #JuliaLang #ggplot2 #RSS2025Conf @tidierjl.bsky.social

Another #juliacon in the books! Check out my talk on TidierPlots.jl here: www.youtube.com/live/HMdBi9L... and the State of Tidier.jl (by Daniel Rizk) here: www.youtube.com/live/_Uf2KQX... to see what's been going on with @tidierjl.bsky.social in #julialang

These values are required to do science - acting like this is a problem is like saying that CEOs valuing “professionalism” or “punctuality” more than the average person means they aren’t value-aligned with the average person

Easily GOTY so far, and it’s hard to imagine anything knocking it out of that spot

The spectrum between “guy who occasionally plays an hour or two of video games with his kids” and “guy who still plays WoW 8 hours/night” is so vast here that it’s essentially two different ideas

Not dead, but: - no growth in the last 3 years - almost half of all users are students (summer user decline), and they’re not staying after grad - at least not in enough numbers to increase overall use Counterpoint: Positron use may be growing? I personally switched and don’t use RStudio anymore

Trying out some old Vizz Buzz challenges in TidierPlots - is there any way in #makie to easily add small images? The original version had flags as labels...

Because this is a little annoying to set up, here's a simple example in the form of a blog post: www.randy.pub/posts/multif...

Tidier.jl brings modern data science workflows into #julialang. Batteries included. ✅ Logging data transformations ✅ Unnesting database tables with SQL ✅ Same syntax for dataframes and databases (supporting 12 flavors of SQL) ✅ Customizable grammar of graphics for plotting …and many more features.

TidierData.jl + logging = 🔥 #julialang #rstats #tidyverse

Catastrophic failure of my desktop means I’ll be using a laptop for the next 2 weeks like some kind of dang pilgrim

Love the #rstats tidyverse and curious about Julia? We are aiming to bring TidierPlots to feature parity with ggplot2. We would love to get your help. We have some examples to get you started! Take a look: github.com/TidierOrg/Ti...

"Selection bias: where are we now?" Incredibly excited to announce the next Causal Inference Interest Group seminar with @haidonglu.bsky.social will take place on 10th March 2025 at 3pm GMT (11am EDT). Don't miss this one! Register at: turing-uk.zoom.us/meeting/regi... #EpiSky #CausalSky #CIIG

It’s like that scene in Inception when you spin the top thinking you’re in #RStats but you’re actually in #JuliaLang. We need to go deeper…

TidierPlots.jl v0.10.0 is now available for #julialang! This is mostly an internal update with bug fixes and unit testing, but it also makes it easier to interop with Makie.jl: (credit to beautiful.makie.org for the original image)
