Next in the pipeline: when_sum(x, y), a new function that replaces x + y (please tell me what I am missing here, I can't wrap my head around the need for when_any(x, y), which is the same as x | y, except that it is longer and makes the code less readable). #rstats

A lot of care (and coffee) went into crafting this month's newsletter. I hope you find it valuable 🥰

I'm back with a hackathon demo driven quarto extension! Fun animated checklists in revealjs slides through fragments github.com/EmilHvitfeld... #quarto #slidecrafting

You probably saw `filter_out()` in {dplyr} 1.2.0 but did you notice `when_any()` and `when_all()`? Not only is it easier to write conditions, but the usage of commas instead of | and & means formatters like air will align all conditions the same 🤩 #rstats dplyr.tidyverse.org/reference/wh...

Back with (yet another) quarto extension! Adding ways to create diagrams of different kinds and shapes using a unified syntax and styling Now providing the following types of diagrams pie, process, pyramid, matrix, hierarchy, venn, and more. emilhvitfeldt.com/post/quarto-... #quarto #slidecrafting

Recently, we partnered with the Consortium for Agroecological Transformations to explore what their key mission — agroecological transformation — really looks like on the ground.

Someone recently mentioned copy/pasting participant IDs into a file and in my head I whispered "please don't". I know not everyone is comfortable using code, but copying and pasting is very error prone. In case you want to try #rstats, there are several examples here: cghlewis.com/blog/joins/#...

We've pushed the start date for this back to 8th June so there's slightly longer to apply for our Maths into AI course for teachers. We're also offering: - Online only (5 sessions - start 03 Jun) - A one-off webinar (90 mins - 18 Jun) amsp.org.uk/maths-into-ai/

Alright! Today we premiered the logo of my subject Quantitative Methods 1. Ofc, it presents linear regression output. My question to you is: what's the applied problem we're talking about here? Can you guess? Reproduction scripts: github.com/donotdespair... #qm1 #unimelb #econometrics #rstats

This was so much funnn!!! My favorite part of learning Nicola's process was her inclination to solve a problem once & use the solution going forward each time. DRY principle, yes, but it's more than just in her code, it's in her organization & way of thinking, too. Thank you, Nicola!! #TidyTuesday

"Posit Assistant and NES reflect our learnings from twenty years of building for data scientists and researchers. As the token subsidies end, the differentiator between products becomes more about the value those products provide, and we think we’re ahead in value for the data community."
