A sense of #whimsy. Some folks have it.

BASE R GIRLIES OUR TIME HAS COME Come hang with us, ask Ella questions (I know Isabella and I will), and learn something new. Don't think you use base R? You use it pretty much each and every time you use R! #baseRgirly Also, we're a delight ✨

Proof that I did, eventually, make it all the way down to the freezing cold water of Monterey Bay to dip my toes in. I FaceTimed my husband the whole walk there and back. You'd think after 20 yrs together, we'd be less attached at the hip, but you would be wrong 😂 I miss him & our cats like wild! ❤️🐈

The worst part about this offsite travel business is that I have to re-pack to leave ;[ but at least HOME is waiting on the other side of these nauseating and exhausting flights!! 🏡🛌😍

Well, that's that. Monterey, California has ruined me for all other places, it's absolutely magical

Y'all, I spend a not-insignificant portion of time each week making sure video transcripts aren't full of accidental mistranslations, and this one slipping past me is giving me pure joy right now

Want to watch @hadley.nz doing code stuff live with us but can't actually make it live? Our last #DSLab with Hadley is up on YouTube! Plus, if you've been curious about what #PositAssistant looks like in #RStudio, he's using it in this one. #rstats #databs youtu.be/N_oT_8xVRXg

Today, I was pair coding w/ @ivelasq3.bsky.social & I literally said, "UGH! AIR, FORMAT THIS FOR ME, I DON'T KNOW HOW," and Air *did* format it for me, & I realized in that moment just how much I've come to rely on Air and auto-formatting in #positron. Thank you, @davisvaughan.bsky.social 🥳 #rstats

knowing multiple programming languages makes one thing specifically challenging for me: remembering which syntax to use for an if statement or loop in the language I'm using 😂 Is there a space here? Is this an indent or, wait, I'm in #Rstats, it's curly braces - do I need parens? yes. wait. yes.

Also, using the UI is the MOST SUCCESSFUL WAY I've ever been able to stash and pop changes. It's so niiiiice! Heres a fun game: count how many times I mention git making me cry (in the past) in this video 😂 #positron #databs #GitHub #Git #rstats #pydata

Some joy for your Thursday ✨ Look at this sweet little cinnamon roll all curled up and holding her foot 🐾 This is Clementine and she is perfect 🤷🏻‍♀️

I feel like I've unlocked some kind of YouTube achievement tonight

A few weeks ago, @ivelasq3.bsky.social & I hosted a #DSLab where we walked through using GitHub's integrations & extensions in #Positron - it's up on YT now! #rstats Starting a project, protecting main, issues, branches, stashing/popping changes, resolving merge conflicts, PRs youtu.be/JTv4IbFzI7M

Y'all, my physical therapist told me today that I give her real "if Indiana Jones was a woman" vibes and I HAVE NEVER FELT SO ALIVE

My very favorite #rstats hex designs, full stop, are hand-drawn and imperfect

#Positron and #VScode #rstats folks who have muscle memory of creating reprexes from highlighted code in RStudio: I made an extension to do basically the same thing, with HTML preview and all: open-vsx.org/extension/je...

My body doesn't recognize insulin well. I can't eat much sugar/many grams of carbs. I don't eat bread 🤷🏻‍♀️ The reactions people have to what I eat are so curious to me 🤔 & I've been observing "I could never eat like that" "Seems like you don't eat for joy" "Wow, yikes" I like being alive, though 👏🏻

Ok, so that DS Lab with Joey Marshall today was the most fun I'll have all week 🤔 Getting to watch people work and ask them questions is 10 out of 10, 'tis PEAK, cannot be oversold. #databs

Cutest thing I've read today

There are not enough animals in zoom meetings, what the heck. "I'm sorry about my cat-" what? NO! More cat! Work can wait. "Sorry, my dog is barking-" WHY ISN'T THE DOG HERE WITH US?

My heart!! The teeny pixel sprite of Joey is the best!!! I hope you'll come hang out with us tomorrow. It's a chance to just see how someone else uses their tools, which is always when I learn the MOST. "What did you just click? Wait, what keyboard shortcut is that? Is that a Mac OS thing?" #databs

When I was teaching #Rstats weekly, I knew LOADS of functions by heart. I could troubleshoot & code from memory just texting someone to help them. Teaching is the best This past week, I realized how very true it is that if you don't use it, you lose it 😂 but it IS like riding a bike! It comes back!

I'm traveling soon, and I am VERY BAD at traveling. I have a doctor's appt next week to see if I can get heavy duty nausea meds bc ✈️🚘🚉🚢 all make me 🤢🤢🤢 So, people-who-travel: what am I probably forgetting to pack (or purchase)? Like, do I need a neck pillow thing? Are liquids still banned??

Is it dumb to share a LinkedIn link on BlueSky?! 😂 LOOK AT THESE LEGENDS! I can't believe I'm allowed to work with these people 🥹 #databs #rstats www.linkedin.com/posts/rohrn_...

Journey before destination #rstats (Friendship bracelet from posit::conf(2023), given to me by Robin D, who I'm not sure is on BlueSky!)

Get you some brother cats ❤️ I have a whole litter of five, mom included, but that's not for the faint of heart (we do have some excellent cuddle piles, though)

In two weeks I will give a talk about "Tidyplots for easy data visualization" 📣 We will explore the concept behind tidyplots, walk through its available functions, and dive into live coding on common plotting tasks. www.meetup.com/r-nvsu/event... #rstats #dataviz #phd

R/Medicine conf is so good. I'm not in medicine, and it doesn't matter. It's always great!! #rstats

Receptionist: "the only appt we have a 8am on Monday" Me, a night owl suffering through daylight saving time: "oh? Nothing later in the day?" Receptionist: "it's the only time we have open at all" Me: ::thinking about how I made this appt 2 months ago and they've cancelled it 3 times::

Do you use regression in your job? I asked the Hangout Crew today and we got a pretty ok n of 48 😂 #rstats #databs #pydata (I couldn't vote, but add me to the yes)

Main tip (though I'm no expert) for educational stuff: pare down your topic. Pare it down to the core idea & then make time for questions. Have extras you can go into if you have the time, but don't try to teach/show too much at once. I strive for/fall short of this often, but it's the goal #rstats

We have a Lab coming up March 31st on contributing to base R 😍 and I'm so excited about it 🥹 @ellakaye.co.uk will be our lab manager! IT'S #baseRgirly TIME, Y'ALL!! #rstats

We had a #DSLab walking through using the {mall} pkg + {ellmer} in #rstats (& chatlas in #python) to process text columns in a dataframe with LLMs. This is something I find super helpful, esp when the task is tedious, big, & only needs to be done once, then reviewed. #databs youtu.be/ZNHNVWUMTJA

Some happiness for you today! Mr. Marmalade hopes you have a very chill one ❤️

Can someone tell me if this is a bad idea 😅 I never really used the packages pane in #RStudio, but I think that's because I was raised #baseR & am a console queen. I assume no one uses update.packages() Def don't do this if you're in a renv project, though, you'll have regerts. #rstats #baseRgirly

Is complaining about the time change too cliche? It's really messing with me (and countless other #ADHData people, too, I'm betting). I will be off-my-game until further notice. Can't wait to add jet lag to this in a couple of weeks 😅

I've been calling our porch opossum Taquito. Taquito is a mess ❤️😍

It will be hard to top this joyful share for me today 😂 Such a good one!!

Anyone wanna share their joy with me? It's so easy to get bogged down in the bad stuff right now. I'm having a tough mental health day. It happens! I have therapy later, so that will help, & I'd also love to hear some good stuff going on in your world! New #rstats 📦 on CRAN? New puppy? Yummy food?

Come see how the sausage is made! WOW, what a gross phrase. I need some suggestions for replacing it 😂 How the cookies are baked? Doesn't quite have the same meaning behind it 🤔 Help me, #databs.

Sometimes I work a weekend day in order to take half days during the week for doctors appointments. I get more done on a Sunday with just my laptop on the sofa than I do on a weekday with 3 monitors. No pings, no emails, just me and my tasks. Seriously considering asking to just do this every wk 😂

Editing/uploading videos is such a challenging task for me (for many reasons, but esp) bc I need to be able to listen to the videos, meaning I can't sit in perfect noise-cancelling silence, & can't listen to my "library sounds" playlist to block things out. AND I HAVE TO LISTEN TO MY OWN VOICE 🥲

Omg this one 😂😂😂

This one might be my favorite of the day because it's just soooo #rstats and "ell-apply" is a freaking good match for "Let Die" 🏆🏆🏆

I feel like we could collectively come up with some great bond flick names re: #rstats, #GitHub, etc 😂 I submit for your approval: terrible ideas only. "MIT License to Kill" "Rebase Another Day" "The Dev Who Reviewed Me"

When you're working on a branch for a new thing, but then you notice you missed some data cleaning that you're only seeing now that you're doing the thing (bc EDA never ends), and instead of backing out to a cleaning branch, you stay on the new thing branch and yolo (and cry) #databs #rstats

#databs Have you ever put something super cool into production that you don't want to tell anyone about because you're sure if more people knew how you did it, the API you're using would, like, get limited or something? 😅 I have one like this 👀 If I answer you vaguely about a project, it's this one

They're a little hard to clean, but they bring a lot of warmth and charm to the room

I tried on & bought jeans today. I consulted some of my favorite Gen Zs to find out how cringe I looked. I took mirror selfies (I was told they were bad mirror selfies). I've been officially banned from skinny jeans of any kind & am only allowed to wear high rise baggy pants from now on 🤷🏻‍♀️
