Hi folks! This is the account for the 2025 WOMBAT workshop in #Melbourne, #Australia organised by the NUMBAT group. Stay tuned for updates! wombat2025.numbat.space/

New virtual workshop from our NUMBATs, on "Reproducible reporting, academic papers, presentations and theses with quarto" Jul 25, taught by Krisanat, Jayani and @janithwanni.bsky.social‬. More details can be found on www.statsoc.org.au/event-6250010

Sverto is now quarto-svelte! But that's not all — there's a new release of quarto-svelte, with Svelte 5 support! The release is packed with bug fixes and is easier to use than ever! #Svelte + @quarto.org = 🤯 github.com/jimjam-slam/... #quarto #quartopub

Good morning✌️🍀

My nicest pen has my favorite ink: TWSBI Diamond stub with De Atramentis scented Cola ink.

There’s a certain peace to just unplugging and let the pen glide across the paper (or as my emo past called it “bleeding ink onto paper”) But I never considered the possibility of using speech to text to get my physical writing onto the laptop, always used to type it out with my feeble 60wpm speed

That explains it, I’m just in ✨ maintenance mode ✨

Been getting into sketching after being overloaded with work lately and my experience so far: Tutorial: Draw a circle and add marks and details. > Tries to draw a circle > Realizes how bad I’m at drawing circles > realizes now I’m bad at drawing circles AND faces. PS: It’s a me problem

So @driven-by-data.net just launched SveltePlot, which merges my 2 fav things in #DataViz: Svelte and the Grammar of Graphics. 100% going to use this! Site: svelteplot.dev Gregor's slides: www.vis4.net/slides/svelt... #SvelteSummit

"commits messages should be meaningful" me, a professional:

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine

Can not emphasize this enough. Write honestly, as a human would. Bring your style, your voice to the words that drip from your fingertips. Put your work out to the world to see even if they do not read it. Fear not the words that they say, Fear the ideas that never see the light of day.

A new Python edition of "Forecasting: Principles and Practice" is now available online at otexts.com/fpppy/. Thanks to @azulgarza.bsky.social, Cristian Challu, Max Mergenthaler, Kin Olivares & Nixtla for making this happen. #forecasting #python

Well well well If it isn't my inner critic expecting me to be a master at a technique after doing it a total of one time (and even that while following a tutorial)

#30DayChartChallenge Day 4: Big or Small Spent way too long thinking of the creative for this but it was fun showing how big the number of plastic bottles are compared to glass. Writing custom force clusters and collisions in d3 force was spicy 🌶️ Website: thirty-web-charts.netlify.app/day4

After 5 years in the making, I'm very happy to finally release Anime.js v4, my dream animation library: 🧩 New modular API ⚡️ Highly performant 🖱️ Scroll-linked animations 🫵 Draggables ↔️ Responsive ✨ Additive animations 🪽 WAAPI support And so much more! Check out the new website animejs.com!

It’s looking a lot like #60DayChartChallenge at this rate folks. Slowly but surely we’ll get there but boi is it going to be a slow ride 🥹🥲

Day 3 of #30DayChartChallenge is Circles Each circle contains the colors used in each season of Bob Ross's Joy of Painting series. The interactivity is going to take too long and I am very much behind on the challenge so I will do that later 🤞🫠 Website: thirty-web-charts.netlify.app/day3

*wipes sweat off bro* Damn why did I complicate making a linear regression line with D3. The prompt of day 2 of the #30DayChartChallenge was Slope and wanted to display the effect of the range of data on the slope of the regression line. Website is finally up!: thirty-web-charts.netlify.app

Flashback to me spending an entire day just trying to get R code from one kitty window to another in a smooth automated way

My todo list for Saturday morning Jump out of bed Put on my best suit Get in my car Race like a jet all the way to you Knock on your door Get my heart in my hand Ask you a question

Was excited for the Pokemon dataset in #TidyTuesday and for the start of the #30DayChartChallenge, so I decided to combine both together and made a waffle chart with tooltips using pure Svelte (no d3 or tippy) 80% of my time was wasted because I was trying to add dynamic Tailwind classes (you cant)

#FreeJavaScript update: Oracle has just filed more on their motion to dismiss the Fraud claim. Here's a summary of where the case stands: deno.com/blog/deno-v-...

Took me a solid second to realize databs doesn’t stand for what i thought it stood for 🫡

Stuffing the RAM with ten Firefox tabs by smashing `Cmd+Shift+[` simply because I'm too lazy to reach for the mouse. The true space time tradeoff happens here.

Another day another R package that somehow won't install after running `renv::restore()`. Disclaimer: It was because of the R version of the renv lockfile being set to a version prior to R 4.4.2 (recently upgraded)

Two weeks late to #TidyTuesday with the Pixar Films dataset but this was a trip. R was used for the initial data cleaning, the rest of the stack were new tools that I wanted to take for a spin for a while. * SvelteKit * LayerCake and d3 * Tailwind pixarfilms-vis.netlify.app

Didn't realize Spotify has "deprecated" their API endpoints for audio analysis until I whipped out an old unfinished article about an album that I was deeply attached to. It is wild how much of a blank statement was made on the reasoning behind it. developer.spotify.com/blog/2024-11...

The closet technological approximation I have thought of to LLMs: The Microwave! Excels in niche contexts, broadly used, but never loved. The results are universally acknowledged to be pretty crap when applied to general cooking tasks. Saves labour at the margins, but probably cost very few jobs.

Now you can automate your #rstats package submissions to CRAN with a simple, reusable workflow. Built-in safety features prevent accidental submissions. Try it in your next release! 💻 Code: github.com/coatless-act... 🔗 Post: blog.thecoatlessprofessor.com/programming/...

For #rstats users, find Flexoki (and much more) in the outstanding hrbrthemes package, thanks to @hrbrmstr.dev ! github.com/hrbrmstr/hrb...

Flexoki 2.0 introduces 88 new colors that feel like watercolor pigments on paper. This is my attempt to bring the feeling of analog color to digital emissive screens. This version expands the palette to a full range of values for every color, without desaturating the pigment effect.

I am terrible about keeping up with PRs I'm supposed to review so I wrote a little menubar app for macs to alert you when you are requested to review a PR. Right in your face so you can't ignore it. github.com/nstrayer/pr-...

A new release of the {mapgl} #rstats package - which brings Mapbox and MapLibre maps to R users - is now on CRAN! There are lots of long-awaited features in this new release. Learn more on my blog: walker-data.com/posts/mapgl-...

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/

What makes a good apology? We turned to an unlikely source, reality TV, for answers. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (#RHOSLC) is a masterclass in how not to apologize, which offers lessons for all of us on how to get it right. pudding.cool/2025/03/hous...

If you use Tangled.sh the community is still small enough to have some meta atproto fun! Hit up hrbrmstr-tanglednet.web.val.run and enter your bluesky handle to traverse a "follow" tree and see how big your extended network is. Graph is zoomable & nodes are movable. Node size is in-degree.

🚨 The #tinyplot pkg for #rstats #dataviz now also has support for barplots (in the R-universe version). Grouping and faceting can be done using tinyplot's formula-based syntax. Example: Frequencies of penguin species by island, stacked by sex. (Code in alt text). grantmcdermott.com/tinyplot/

Sir Isaac Newton didn't have to spend this much time managing package dependencies

FYI I think you meant to post pudding.cool/2025/03/hous... Your link gives an 404.

I solemnly swear never ever to take for granted the ability to draw multiple colored lines in ggplot simply by saying aes(color=factor(var)). Sincerely, a naive d3 developer faced with drawing colored line per category in factor
