My brief analysis of the AY 2026 Nephrology Match is up at data.asn-online.org/posts/ay_202.... Just 66% of offered nephrology fellowship positions were filled on Match Day. #MatchDay #Nephrology

I’m new to #Python and really like {uv} but when I’ve tried to use it on my work machine (Windows) it keeps crashing up against OneDrive. I’ve tried stopping tracking the directory, deleting the .venv folder, and using —link-mode=copy and nothing is working. Any advice for using #uv on #Windows?

OMG, epic typo in a half-page WSJ ad #copyediting #thisadshophassomeexplaingtodo

Out Today: Results from the 2025 ASN Nephrology Fellow Survey. Some highlights: - Base starting salaries were up 3%-4% over 2024. - Lifestyle factors—call frequency, desired locale, and vacation—are top of mind when fellows evaluate employment offers. data.asn-online.org/posts/2025_f...

While the FT mentions it in passing, other coverage on the EO is really burying the lede on the impact to J-1 visa waivers for physicians who are providing care for Americans in underserved areas.

September 11 started as a beautiful Tuesday morning. It was the first crisp fall day in NYC after it had poured the night before. I won’t forget the “Missing” posters, the dust, the smell, the chaos, or the papers that floated across the East River landing in Park Slope.

Best part of the “new” @dataconf.ai is no more R (or S) song coming back from breaks. Sorry (not sorry) @jaredlander.com

So, so grateful for the {nplyr} package. Makes working with nested dataframes an absolute breeze….OK, really easy. jibarozzo.github.io/nplyr/ Thanks @markjrieke.bsky.social

Voted! Democracy: use it or lose it.

The only thing missing from this is the endless cascade and of reviewers initials at the end

Thanks to @rfortherestofus.com for sharing @djnavarro.net excellent post on regex. Just wrote a lookbehind that worked the first time….without Google/ChatGPT/SO.

Well, I’ve been liberated from ever trying to retire….or help my daughter go to college.

I subscribe to @wsj.com because of their excellence in reporting...and the strong firewall between news and the editorial board. Yet their masthead has been unflinching, no more so than in tomorrow's edition (gift link) www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

Check out the “Building story maps with mapgl” vignette that @kylewalker.bsky.social dropped yesterday. His great documentation makes it super easy to get started. Between {Closeread} and {mapgl} it has been a big couple of months for scrollytelling in R.

Malaise Forever! Thank you Mr. President. #39

You’d think the company behind Google Fonts would be able to handle tracking but OMG this is incredibly distracting. #keming

I was asked after my presentation yesterday if I was of Native American heritage because I had included a land acknowledgment for the Council of the 3 Fires. Only to go to a Chicago Blackhawks game that started with a land acknowledgment.

Leave it to @theonion.com to have the most insightful take.

I write this as someone for whom the results of this election are a direct threat: Despair today if you must; after that, get back to work, and work harder. Protect others. Do good. Create beauty. As those in the past who survived much harder times showed, that's the way we endure #dataViz

A dark day for America and for the world.

It’s happening! The monthly #rstats Top 40 was always an awesome resource for learning about new domains and methods as well as tools — no matter what language you’re using Missed this so much and thrilled to see if coming back (h/t @ivelasq3.bsky.social )

I always wanted a complete #RStats guide for complex survey data with the #tidyverse, and now it’s here! Huge thanks to @statsteph.bsky.social & RJP ❤️ "Exploring Complex Survey Data Analysis Using R" Free online: tidy-survey-r.github.io/tidy-survey-... Preorder: www.routledge.com/Exploring-Co...

Screw visual abstracts, haikus are so much more effective. This is an excellent idea.

Really like the new-ish #ggplot2 extension for making Sankey diagrams {ggsankeyfier}. Website: pepijn-devries.github.io/ggsankeyfier/

This is it.

OMG. He’s doubling down.

This is why I dislike SO. The correct response to fix the flextable:::is_in_quarto() error on rendering is arbitrarily downvoted by an admin because of the wording. #rstats
