We're looking at cars in Qatar for #TidyTuesday this week - "an international and modern version of the now-ancient `mtcars`" data! 📊 ➡️ 9 ways to visualise the distribution of a variable Thanks to @andrew.heiss.phd for curating this week's dataset! #RStats #DataViz

Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp.... genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

#TidyTuesday Week 38 - FIDE Took what I know about ELO ratings and made a beeswarm 🐝 to compare Masters and players (like me) near the 1000 ELO mark. Also added a reference section to my script to 'cite' what scripts I looked at. Maybe it'll catch on #Rstats #dataviz Code github.com/nvietto/Tidy...

The Pac-Man Rule should be adopted at all conferences and meetups - it's so much more welcoming! Also an excellent use of a pie chart! 📊

I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN. It's not every day we have a new major #ggplot2 release but it is a fitting 18 year birthday present for the package. Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats

Excited to share my newest quarto revealjs plugin: imagemover Easily reposition and resize images directly in your quarto revealjs slides for a much smoother slidecrafting experience github.com/EmilHvitfeld... #quarto

I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :( So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

Here’s a fun extra credit assignment I made that uses R/Posit Cloud for generative art with {aRtsy}. I’ve used it in stats, methods, even crim theory. Students love it. I do a mini art show before the final lecture lol. Feel free to use it! #academicsky #rstats nvietto.quarto.pub/extra-credit...

I’ve been using the new gradients and patterns in #rstats and #ggplot2 quite a bit for recent package, so here’s a deep dive! Everything from the basics of using gradients in your plots through to sophisticated visual effects. jamesgoldie.dev/writing/stac...

Curator: @jonthegeek.com @dslc.io welcomes you to week 10 of #TidyTuesday! We're exploring Pixar Films! 📁 https://tidytues.day/2025/2025-03-11 🗞️ https://erictleung.com/pixarfilms/articles/pixar_film_ratings.html #TidyTuesday#RStats #PyData #JuliaLang #DataViz #tidyverse #r4ds

I'm currently working through a dissertation section that involves describing gradient descent, and Josh Starmer's explanation is by far the clearest I've come across. And I had a great ML teacher, but his explanation is a simple and straightforward, highly recommend. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDv4...

Got this in my email today from DrivenData, seems like a useful resource if you're looking for data science positions that center on helping fix social and environmental problems. #datascience #dataBS drivendata.co/blog/where-t...

tried downloading kafka’s diaries but there was a bug

New pub up! We examined how associations between measures of the autonomic nervous system and psychopathic traits differ across stress tasks. Thank you to everyone who helped us recruit participants for this study! Data and code: github.com/nvietto/Repl... www.crimrxiv.com/pub/q7z2nfny...

As A24 re-releases the Colman Domingo Oscar contender #SingSing in movie theaters this week, the indie studio is also making the film available to nearly a million incarcerated people across the U.S. bit.ly/4hfud9f

#genuary5 prompt: Isometric art. It's game of life. History goes down. I've seen a visualization like this last year and wanted to recreate it. Made with #PyScript: ambv.pyscriptapps.com/genuary-prom... #genuary2025 #genuary #GenerativeArt #CreativeCoding #WebGL #Python

Back. To. Back.

#TidyTuesday Week 51 - Dungeons and Dragons Spells Couldn't pass up the chance to do a D&D TidyTuesday. Thanks @jonthegeek.com for curating this dataset! Code: github.com/nvietto/Tidy... #Rstats #dataviz

Very proud to announce that @posit.co has joined the opensourcepledge.com. We're committing to spending $2000 / developer / year to support open source software that we use (but don't develop): posit.co/blog/posit-p... #rstats #pydata

@dslc.io welcomes you to week 51 of #TidyTuesday! We're exploring Dungeons and Dragons Spells (2024)! 📁 https://tidytues.day/2024/2024-12-17 🗞️ https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1804-start-playing-today-with-the-2024-d-d-free-rules #TidyTuesday#RStats #PyData #JuliaLang #DataViz #tidyverse #r4ds

This is happiness. Can't wait

New R package up - {samplezoo}. I designed it to allow educators to focus on teaching statistical concepts instead of getting stuck in the setup process. There's still a lot I want/need to add but for now it's a useful tool for discussing distributions and such. nvietto.rbind.io/blog/samplez...

Kinnnda looks like Omaha a bit with downtown on the right and midtown on the left, lol. Nevertheless, a fun way to view your GitHub contributions this year. 3D Image here: github.com/nvietto/nvie... Learn how to do yours here: github.blog/changelog/20... #GitHubSkyline

We are excited to announce posit::conf(2025)! Join fellow data enthusiasts & developers for an unforgettable three days of learning, connection, and inspiration. Learn more and register at posit.co/blog/positco... #datascience #rstats #pydata #quarto #tidyverse #posit

Bluesky really is the new #rstats twitter because we have the first base R vs tidyverse flame war 🤣

Calling all data storytellers — the first #Closeread Prize is here! posit.co/blog/closere... Andrew and I have teamed up with the kind folks at @posit.co who have some amazing prizes on offer, whether you're using #rstats, #python, #julia or #ojs or no coding at all!

With this influx of people, I wanna encourage people to spend their time cool and funny things instead of descending into language wars

I'll be giving a free virtual talk on speeding up your #rstats tidymodels code at R/Pharma 2024 next Tuesday and would love to see you there! I'll also be announcing a new project.👀 Register here: rinpharma.com

We’re excited to announce a program to support first-time contributors to @rOpenSci.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy packages! 🎉 Are you a package maintainer who would like to mentor a new #rstats contributor? See our blog post for details and how to sign up: ropensci.org/blog/2024/10...

My first action on here was to make an R-Ladies starter pack! Comment with accounts I might be missing as I'm just starting out here! go.bsky.app/Vgxwa2F #rstats #rladies

I made an #RSats starter pack. Includes a touch of Linux, Python, and dataviz but mostly R. go.bsky.app/Ki7PjpS

Hola #Rstats & #dataviz peeps. In the process of transitioning to Bluesky from Twitter. Looking forward to reconnecting with everyone 🙂 Information about me can be found at my website here: nvietto.rbind.io
