Another day, another instance in which I suggest someone look into Harvard's free-and-amazing cs50 course. #databs #python #rstats

I might just want to sling funny insults at myself in #rstats 🤔

Andrew is out here adding LaTeX output to sessioninfo for y'all!

Tidyverse dev day is an amazing thing. Has anyone ever been to a dev day? (Tidy or otherwise?)

#TidyTuesday (2025 W37) Went into cleaning mode this week, filtering out common pantry ingredients and instructions to find the most common other calls for ingredients that are given. #rstats Code: github.com/drjohnrussel...

Do the #databs community (and yourself) a favor this week and comment on the posts of others. If all we ever do is *post things* and expect others to respond, but never respond ourselves, then we're just a bunch of randos shouting into a void! Ask someone a question this week 🤔

Have you played today's #chartle? chartle.cc

I'm a child, and I cannot hear or say Likert without giggling. It's a curse.

Must rest and recover from the busiest week ever so I can attend #dataBSconf!! #databs

Best community ever ❤️❤️❤️ and I am so pooped! #positconf #rstats #python #databs

Jump scare of the day: seeing people talking about my opinions on renv all the sudden in the #positconf discord and having no idea that @pipinghotdata.com (or someone) mentioned me in a talk 😂 I was like, what did I do? What? Who said what? I said something about renv? #rstats #databs

Want to have a built-in circle of data buddies at the next conference you attend?! Go to community events online!! @jonthegeek.com & I were talking about how our circles online, like the DSLC book clubs & the DS Hangout, let us get to know lots of folks online before seeing them in person <3 #databs

How is it that I get TWO talks about social learning at #posit::conf?! I am so lucky!! This is one of my very favorite subjects and passions. We love you, Dr. Cat Hicks! @grimalkina.bsky.social GOOD MORNING, CONF!! #databs #rstats #python #SocialLearning

Another #positconf day in the books!! Super proud of our wonderful data community 🥹 Thanks for sticking with us through some technical difficulties! GOOD NEWS! Hadley and Joe's keynote recording is already up on the conf portal!! @hadley.nz, everyone loves your earrings! #databs #rstats #python

Jonathan McPherson just mentioned datapasta at the opening keynote of #positconf, so I'm sharing this once again to share the magic, for all those discovering it for the very first time ❤️ #databs #rstats

That's a wrap! I was gonna live-post #positconf2025 virtual day 😂 but it turns out my plate was VERY FULL hosting and hanging out with the best data community ever in the discord!! Now I'm just wondering if the data world will forgive me for my trivia questions 😂 #databs #rstats #python

Who is excited for trivia?! Come roast me for the questions I wrote 😂 I can't wait to see how people do! Sure, it would be fun to win, but the real prize is just hanging out and having a good time together as a data community ❤️ Make sure you're registered for #positconf!! #databs #rstats #python

I was going to show you how I painted my nails posit::conf blue for next week, but Creamsicle had other desires #rstats #positconf #python #databs

LLMs present such a monkey wrench thrown into the pursuit of reproducibility 🙄 #databs

I need you to know that your contribution, your voice, your perspective, your way of explaining something, YOUR whatever, is valuable. Just because "it's been done before" doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Nothing is new, everything's been done! But not by you. Yet. #databs #rststs #python

Can't wait to see everyone at posit::conf(2025)!! Here's my annual "things to do" list for food, coffee, bakeries, and bars near conf! #positconf2025 #rstats docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Vnote.ai just saved me from #ADHD overwhelm during conf planning. I actually beta-tested Vnote back when it was called Storied. You ramble, it builds an outline, iterates. It was designed by a dyslexic physicist and data scientist, & it solves so many problems for my #neurodivergent brain 🙏 #databs

In which I beg archaeologists to sign up for the fall semester of Skype a Scientist, because we're getting buried in requests for your area of expertise. Sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

PyMC people: Is there a way to implement a weighted formulation of a discrete count likelihood like the poisson, discrete weibull, etc? In Stan I'd typically do this via something like for(n in 1:N) target += ({function}(args...) * weights[n]);

I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him if he knows he's a perfect little gentleman He knows

The issues on github are full of dataset suggestions that just need a little work to get them ready for a pull request. github.com/rfordatascie... Check out the issues- write an intro or pull together the metadata and submit a PR to help keep #TidyTuesday going. Many hands make light work!

I hope no one is tired of seeing adorable #pawsitconf posts full of cute pets and punny talk titles, because @trevinflickinger.com helped his THREE dogs submit talks 😭 JUST LOOK AT THEM #rstats #python #databs #positconf2025

Does a data science manager need to be a former data science practitioner in order to be a good leader? In order to empathize, guide, and direct efforts? #databs

The #DataBS Conf draft schedule (sans time assignments, and maybe a straggler or two) has been posted! databsconf.com/schedule/ Now is the time to get hyped and grab a ticket to attend the online-online event Wed Sept 24! tickets: ti.to/databsconf/d...

@databsconf.com is just over 2 weeks away! It's a one-day, totally virtual, single-track conference centered on the real stories of data work from the folks in the trenches. Speakers and talk descriptions are live on databsconf.com, along with the link to get your (free!) ticket. #databs

I'm back up to that approximate 75 tab mark today, and my goal is to close them all and restart my laptop in the next 15 minutes. It's my planning/admin/head-down day, and I am determined to have a fresh desktop as I put the finishing touches on conf planning!!

I might be biased (cat-biased?), but this #pawsitconf submission is just too cuuuuuute 🥹 Thank you for sharing Fennec's talk with us, @cecibaldoni.bsky.social ✨ This is truly getting me pumped for conf in the most adorable way possible 🐈 #rstats #python #databs

Can you handle music playing when you're trying to think? 🎼🎵🤔💭 Because I can't. Like, at all. Yet, here I am, choosing soothing music to play in the background during DATA SCIENCE TRIVIA next week 🍃🍂🍁 (are these emojis soothing?) So I hope others aren't like me! #databs #rstats #python

I'm missing out on Tidy/Pydy this week due to posit conf planning hustle mode, so I'm happy I get to see others working on this week's data!!

People keep telling me they can't afford to attend #PositConf2025 next week, so I need to make a public service announcement: attending virtually is very affordable (or free!) & is amazing! Get registered & hangout with me on the Discord server!! #databs #rstats #python

We've made it. We have a bookmark button! #databs

I really love that pluto.jl gives you encouragement when you hit an error 🥹 #Julia #databs

Several times a week, someone asks me to "visualize" something, and several times a week, I respond, "I have aphantansia, I can't visualize anything." It happens with people who know me well, but they can't hold it as a truth in their minds that anyone might be unable to "picture" things 😅

LOOK AT THEIR LITTLE FACES!!

The Oracle docs say I'm saying SQL correctly and that makes me feel pretty good

Rachael leaves me alone on the Hangout for ONE WEEK and I spend the first two minutes talking about DnD 😬 THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I'M LEFT ALONE #databs 🙋🏻‍♀️ Raise your hand if you're also an RPG nerd of any kind so I can tell my boss it's ok for me to be a total nerd while hosting data stuff

I use #Rstats or #Python as a calculator a lot, since I always have them up and it's nice to just type numbers in so I don't forget them, but today I didn't realize where my cursor was, and I accidentally typed into chrome without realizing it. Apparently still works as a calculator! 😂 #databs

🎉 We added a Virtual Day to posit::conf(2025)! 🗓️ Tues, Sept 16 = talks, trivia, & hangouts. AMA with @richmeister.bsky.social & more. Also? Discord is open to all! Come join us. 🔗 Event portal: pos.it/conf-event-p... 🔗 Virtual Day info: posit.co/blog/posit-c... #positconf2025 #rstats #python

Ok, my buddies and I were ALL ABUZZ as we read about #nanonext last night 👀 Have you seen it?! Data exchange between R and Python made way more accessible? I have questions!! www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/09... #databs #rstats #python

Does it look like I'm saying, "One does not simply walk into Mordor" or nah Listen, I gotta keep myself entertained while uploading videos 😂 🤌🏼 #DSHangout (This is from Lisa Elkin of Pfizer's episode, and it will be out soon on the #Posit YouTube channel's hangout playlist!) #databs

This may not look like autumn to you, but to me, this looks like a cold front and I am here for it 🙏 under 100 baybeeee

Definitely go curate some data!!

The older I get, the more thoroughly understand that the person who took the chance and the person who decided not to take the chance both end up with regrets. Both stayed true to themselves in different ways. Because we are not one thing, ever. We contain multitudes.

Am I about to get really into APIs? Is this just the next step in the data science Pokémon evolution? #databs #rstats #python

Introducing, our next #pawsit::conf(2025) speaker: Cholula is here to tell us all about {grrr}! 🐾 This talk will show how the new package, grrr, applies purrr functions to the novel k9 data class for seamless mapping in your data workflow. (Thanks for sharing, Libby McKenna!!) #databs #rstats
