#Rstats / #Rstudio people. I want to set my R Studio Keyboard Shortcut to Ctrl + Shift + . (so that it's effectively Ctrl + >). However the editor types "Ctrl + Shift + >" every time I try to do this. Can I set it somewhere else?

Great post by @andrew.heiss.phd on animating #rstats {dplyr} operations www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2024/04...

the sky in sydney last night was un fucking believable

data scientists think mixing data, business logic and results in a single excel file is disgusting while they don't have an issue when they mix data, business logic and results in a single .ipynb file curious

It's a big dill 🇳🇿🌱

😍 But maybe precision = invariance (inverse var)

Before I code something from scratch, does anyone have a #rstats function like setdiff but it works with named lists and/or data frame rows? Optionally dropping duplicate values and keeping the differences from the first list?

missed opportunity to rename all dispersion measures following the same scheme OG variance = squariance SD = stairiance (also known as rootsquariance) Gini = fairiance IQR = iquariance (pronounced with a schwa, like "aquarius") MAD = marriance precision = prairiance etc

@aaronsojourner.org I can recommend www.sumatrapdfreader.org/free-pdf-rea... as an alternative. It’s super fast and free. No ai slop either.

Would love some recommendations for biostats texts! Especially biostatistics using R. Feeling a little out of my depth with this, but hoping to find a great resource for self-teaching.

Bugger an automatic 40% increase without asking me if I even want co-pilot. Just turned off recurring billing and got the option instead to swap to MS365 Classic for original price. Job done. Wife now has another 12 months to get used to switching to Linux...

My first submission for #TidyTuesday! I tried filling a stacked bar chart with the team's logos using ggpattern. #Rstats #DataViz #ggplot2

Yep! And while the `pushover` service costs a modest one-time fee, the similar `pushbullet` service is registration-only. So `RPushbullet` may be worth a consideration too for the same use cases. (And I am due a maintenance release...) #rstats cran.r-project.org/package=RPus...

@stephenjwild.bsky.social I want more silly #stats words arxiv.org/abs/2503.22333

Bajillionaires of the world, we don't need more employment growth nowcasts during the government shutdown. But we do need a very-large-sample monthly survey of US households to determine employment / unemployment status. macromostly.substack.com/p/we-dont-ne...

The project is implemented in partnership with snig.digital — web & app design, Kavi.Agency, PEN Ukraine, and the Ukrainian Book Institute! And of course, this project would not be possible without translators around the world who make Ukrainian books accessible to readers everywhere!

We have 3 language versions: English, German and Spanish. French is coming soon! With Chapter Ukraine, you can: 🔎 Browse and filter the catalogue by genre, theme, or historical period 📚 Create your own curated lists 📤 Share them directly with libraries and bookstores

We are celebrating today’s International Translation Day with the launch of a project we’ve been dreaming about for years! 🎉 Here is Chapter Ukraine – an interactive digital platform that brings together comprehensive information about Ukrainian books available in translation: chapterukraine.com

It's amazing to me how Adobe has "improved" Acrobat into almost-uselessness

Check out our GGriges art visual displaying #Luxembourg in several palettes relating to the country's flag colors. The style of this data visual was inspired by #JoyDivision #inkandatlas #iandaprints #joyplots #rstudio #dataart #datavis #datavisualization #mapart #cartography #Rstudio #ggplot

mirai 2.5.1 released. mirai.r-lib.org This is a patch release, but brings a new synchronous mode: `daemons(sync = TRUE)` runs your code in the same process. This means you can now drop into a browser session *within* your mirai #rstats code! p.s. amazing hex stickers made by someone @posit.co!!

Playing around with AR(2) noise, random Fourier modes and polar coordinates produced this neat smoke-like patter. Code 👇 #rstats #generativeart

Many such cases!

Cool cool

Saved a couple pretty #rstats blog posts by @thomvolker.bsky.social & @djnavarro.net as PDFs and now I can read them offline on the @zotero.org app whenever I feel like it. Life is truly grand sometimes. 10/10 would recommend.

Shoutout to the #rstats hive mind: does anybody have any go-to packages for iterative proportional fitting? I’m turning up packages that haven’t been updated in years (maybe they’re perfect); but I’m surprised there isn’t anything more recent coming in my search.

It's not the first time that I'm seeing this I'm afraid that hallucinated citations is an issue that scientists and experts will have to deal with from now on

Every once in a while I need to fiddle with long category labels in #rstats ggplot2. It always helps me to refer back to this excellent blog post by #AndrewHeiss @cararthompson.bsky.social www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2022/06...

La douce incruste 💞

What movies are good, but badly tarnished by appalling sequels? Sequels that are not just 'not as good as the first movie', but bad enough to be basically a betrayal of the whole original concept. My list for starters: Jaws, Rocky, First Blood, The Matrix.
