Custom #Positron title thingy of "file - project - branch" is now miiiiine!!

I love this so much!!

Ahhh, 11pm. It's just me, the sweet sound of silence, and all my #rstats friends in Australia and NZ who are awake and online 😂

You know how in #RStudio, it puts your branch name at the top? Like "project_name - branch - RStudio" (shown here) I want that in #Positron 🤔 and I haven't found a popular extension for it. (I think there is one that works in VSCode, but not in Positron!) Any ideas, #rstats #databs crew?

When you spend two days joking with your data friends about being old and not understanding Gen Z slang, and then @hadley.nz drops this 😂 I was like, was he sensing our conversations?! It's like when you worry your phone is listening to you #rstats #databs

I got some questions about how I use my chess timer, and a video is just easier, so here you go! Also, it's been nice to see the overlap between my #ADHD crowd and my #databs crowd. I keep using the #ADHData hashtag to include both, and I hope others will use it, too!

My #ADHD brain doesn't feel time, so I capture it with a chess clock. Player 1 on the left is "off the clock" & Player 2 on the right is "on the clock" - clearly my cat stickers are resting/playing vs business mode 🥹 Caveat: this only helps if I actually remember to press the buttons 😭 #ADHData

I have many thoughts and opinions about my two data-centric university degree programs. What questions do you have? Do you have "data" degrees? Did you get your degree before "data" was a thing? Did you skip the degree? What was your experience? #rstats #databs #pydata

Most people on Discord got this right! It's Python 🐍! There's a new trivia question up in the Discord server now 👀 TRY TO ANSWER WITHOUT GOOGLING!!

Oh. My. Gosh. Data Science Lab was SO FUN today! Just casually sharing screens to walk through settings live was incredible. I'm gonna start a thread here of some of the stuff we shared/learned together as a community. Great stuff was shared by all! #databs #rstats #python 🧵 1/n

All the times I've asked for help have one thing in common: every time, I wished I'd asked earlier

I know I'm a nerd because most of what I want for Christmas is custom keyboard parts ⌨️🎄🎁 & working shiny apps I know I'm an OLD nerd because the rest of what I want for Christmas is comfy stuff from the Jockey holiday catalog. Also there's the fact that I still use paper catalogs, I guess 😂 #databs

TOMORROW, I'm hosting what I'm calling Data Science Lab. This debut session will be our fave Positron settings for #rstats & #python 😍 I called it DS Lounge at first, but that doesn't feel right. You'll see "Lounge" when you register at pos.it/dslab, but future sessions will be "Lab" 🧪😎 #databs

I had SO MUCH FUN making the data science trivia game for positconf Virtual Day this yr, & all I've wanted since then is to do it again! But it was a big lift to make it happen. What if I did daily trivia instead? I could do it as a poll on the data science community discord! #databs #python #rstats

Up next in 15 minutes, free R/Pharma workshop: Creating Polished, Branded Documents with Quarto, led by the sparkling and brilliant @ivelasq3.bsky.social!! 🔥🔥🔥

It's basically the middle of the night for me, but I'm here at 7am to attend the FREE R/Pharma conf workshop titled "Advanced Clinical Reporting with {officer} and {flextable}" by David Gohel. The officer pacakge is magical, and David is one of my data heroes for sure! #rstats #databs

There is no more productive time for me than after folks have gone to bed. I can work without interruption, no pings, no meetings to prep/debrief, nothing. But I do need some help getting there. My #ADHD brain often needs body-doubling in order to sort of co-regulate into focus-mode #ADHData #databs

This summer, I sat down with my friend Saumita & give her an intro to ggplot2. She's a capable pythonista, so I skipped the fluff & just showed what plotting with #ggplot2 in #rstats can look like. If you're in a similarly Just Curious re: ggplot2, lemme know! #databs #python #matplotlib

#Rpharma conf is this week and it is NOT just for pharma folks. If you're not registered, it's FREE! I'm sitting in a workshop now called Getting Started with LLM APIs in R 🤗 #rstats #databs Free registration: events.zoom.us/ev/Ai-geyS63...

I spent all day thinking about the friends & loves ones I've lost, all the ways they're still with me. Last Thursday, the world lost my friend Patience to cancer, and I've heard her name in everyday conversation each day since then ❤️ Audrey is in every fish at the aquarium🪼Sam is in every star 🌌

Happy Halloween!! I do a complex pumpkin every year, but my energy levels were so low this time, I went as simple as possible, and I freaking love my happy pumpkin bud 🥹🥹🥹 I definitely contemplated an #rstats pumpkin, but my brain is a fried egg today. I used pumpkinstenciler.com to build my own!

Me: The least-helpful workshops are often the ones given by people who just Know Too Much 🥹 Data Friend: Have you see that blog post about this? Me: No, show me! Data Friend: anniemueller.com/posts/how-i-... Me: BRB SENDING THIS TO EVERYONE I KNOW 😂 #rstats #python #databs

Someone give Carlos a hug! WE NEED HIM 😂 Thanks for all the sludge you wade through so that we can all have the magic of #Quarto in #rstats and #python 🙏🙏🙏 #databs

Calling all #RLadies, #RUGs, #PyData folks: If you organize data community meetings & want to up your security game on Z, please get with me so I can help. Comment here, DM me, Discord, LinkedIn, Slack, etc! I have a pre-recorded walkthrough & happy to answer Qs #rstats #python #databs @rladies.org

If you're brand new to Positron and want to know what AI capabilities it has, the call starting RIGHT NOW is for you (but don't worry, they get recorded!): events.zoom.us/ev/Ajss5j9Ve... #rstats #python #databs

I love being nerd-sniped out of bed by a curious question on a Discord server. #rstats #shiny #databs

Woot, just submitted another dataset to #TidyTuesday and now there are 5 PRs waiting for Jon to review. I screenrecorded the process, so if you want to see how EASY it is to contribute a dataset to this AMAZING #rstats community, check out this video. youtu.be/Kp7pyYwLcwc

Two things: 1. The Hangout this Thurs is with Dootie Roy of Boehringer Ingelheim, the PERFECT person to ask about future-proofing your people & data capabilities - pos.it/dsh 2. Next week on Wed, I'm hosting #Positron devs as we all nerd out and share our customized set-ups for #rstats/ #Python

Great links here to data sets that would be amazing to play with or submit to #TidyTuesday!

Something this experience brought back up for me is that teaching #rstats is a very patient activity. I have to really be judicious with what I correct/nudge about. I do want good habits to form early, but many things have to be ignored until later, when the learner has context for why they matter.

#rstats/ #databs storytime 🧵 I have a good friend who I haven't talked to regularly for a time. While catching up with her, she lamented having to take stats courses for her PhD program (she's in archeology/anthro). I offered to help her study, and she put me off, saying she couldn't ask that. 1/n

@juliasilge.com on a podcast is a must-listen ❤️❤️❤️

When you type out your mental code block and then IMMEDIATELY remember how to fix your own problem, because talking/typing things out and creating a reprex works. #databs #rstats #ggplot2

It's past midnight but you're a family of night owls and there's WEATHER happening, so the family group chat is wide awake.

Fun facts Friday 🪾 Excellent at LotR trivial pursuit 🕺 Terrible dancer 🤝 Loves both Star Wars AND Star Trek 📚 Cosmere nerd 🎶 Classical vocalist 🥵 Hates hot weather ☃️ Saw snow for the 1st time at age 24 #databs, y'all wanna join me? Tell me your non-secrets 👀

Come hang with me Nov 5th 12PM ET! We'll be chatting with Isabel Zimmerman & Davis Vaughan from Posit about our favorite #Positron settings. New to to the IDE? Come learn! If you're super familiar & have tricks of your own to show, come share! #databs #rstats #python events.zoom.us/ev/AnxRH-OLd...

TOMORROW! Join me on the #DSHangout with @tanho.ca to chat all about... whatever you want! Great topics: R in Production, sports analytics, open source dev work, and pumpkin carving 🎃 ❤️ I plan on asking about my fave: working out loud! You can go to pos.it/dsh to register! #databs #rstats #python

Fun Libby fact: I LOVE PENS & PENCILS & PAPER! Just refilling my favorite ink pen in about 1 minute with almost no mess ✨✨✨ This is the Tom's Studio Lumos in the Lilac dual-tip body with a 0.3 writing nib. Doing this almost one-handed to film it was not ideal, usually it's faster 😂

OK AND, @tanho.ca is gonna be on the Hangout this week, and I'm hoping we get to chat a bit about how streaming or just in general letting people watch you work/fail/struggle/figure stuff out can actually be such a multiplier for your confidence and your productivity and enjoyment!

A couple of weeks ago, we had Kris Fabick on the Data Science Hangout to talk about pair programming, & we all talked in the chat about how using AI to "replace" pair programming has actually made us understand our codebases LESS, not MORE, and I can't stop thinking about it #databs #rstats #python

I wish there were five of me so I could experience all the things and do all the things have all the conversations and help all the friends. Ok, maybe six of me - the sixth one to work and do my chores, which are also important. But the earth-moving stuff always happens with friends, books, crafts

Which letter has the most possible meanings as an acronym when it comes to stats and ML? Because I think M is a contender. #rstats #databs Machine Model(ing) Mixed Multiple (reg) Monte (Carlo) Markov (chain) Maximum (likelihood) Missing (at/not at rand) Marginal Multivariate (analysis of var) etc!

I don't really have favorites (I contain multitudes), and until i saw @christophmolnar.bsky.social ask this funny question, I don't think I'd realized how enamored I am of SVMs. They're just so beautiful, especially radial SVM. Also on my list of loves: KNN! #databs #rstats

SoCal RUG is usually in-person only, but I believe this one is hybrid and starting soon! #rstats

Hey, #databs and #rstats - would you forgive me using these hashtags to ask for help finding a new area to live? My husband and I need an affordable farm-ish to move to in the #NewEngland area! Where do you love to live?! We need >= 1 acre + access to medical, & can't afford to live near the coast

I tried using AI to help me "speed up" my writing process. I hated every second of it. (I know, "duh") I dislike reading AI slop, so I don't use AI to write stuff that isn't code. But, while I love writing, I am not fast at it, & I let ✨capitalism✨ convince me that I should maybe SPEED UP. 🧵 1/n

I do not like Jira, but I sure do like changing things from "In Progress" to "Done" ✅ #databs

HEY. You should come to the Hangout tomorrow. We usually have Data Science and Analytics folks on, and this time we have a VP of Engineering, and omg do I enjoy the perspective he brings to everything.

A merry ADMIN DAY to you all! Yet again, it is Wednesday. Time to close all my tabs, update all my software, and restart my MacBook. I invite you all to join me! On today's docket: update #RStudio, #Positron, my browser, and my beloved Discord, then get to work on my email inbox 🥲 #databs

In case anyone doesn't know that there's an enormous dataset full of #rstats tweets spanning 2008-2022 on GitHub (care of Tom Mock, who I've already tagged once tonight, so I'll spare here 😌): github.com/jthomasmock/...
