I ignored the strip.clip argument in #ggplot2 for way too long 😲
Combined with a small negative margin tweak, you can place facet labels inside each panel. A tiny trick that makes small multiples feel so much cleaner.
🔵 no manual coordinates
🔵 inherits theme styling
🔵 scales nicely when resizing

HEY! YOU! ggdibbler 0.6.1 is finally up on CRAN!
harriet-mason.github.io/ggdibbler/in...
You can now pass random variables to any aesthetic in any ggplot geom/stat. If you can express it as a distribution, ggdibbler can plot it. It also works with ggplot extensions, like gganimate. #rstats

This is the most exciting time ever to be working in data, and I'm not talking about AI.
3 years ago, I wrote a database-centric guide in my book for analyzing the full 92 million record 1910 Census.
Now, with #rstats and @duckdb?
Analyze those 92 million rows in seconds.

This was just a toy example, but in a real data extraction pipeline, I'd be better off using pre-defined categories. Here, if I use `type_enum()` in my structured output, the LLM must choose from a specific list. (2/3)
