Looking for my #rstats friends on ALL the platforms...
Hitting that end-of-quarter point where I just wanna
final_grades <- runif(n = 87, min = 70, max = 100)
final_grades <- runif(n = 87, min = 70, max = 100)

I love all of this take.
Also "frustration tolerance" is a wonderful turn of phrase, and it sounds less intimidating than the one we often use in Education, "productive struggle".

#quarto blog + RSS question: Is there a way to exclude a post from the automatic RSS feed?
(Specifically, I want to occasionally put non-R content on my blog but I don't want it to spam to the people who follow for R only...)
Gracias in advance hivemind! 🙏

My favorite part was learning that I've been pronouncing "pandas" correctly all along. I've never felt more vindicated.
And y'all are wrong about candy corn. 😜

We gave our Data Science students a project to identify which photos were taken by me vs by my co-teacher, based on a provided training set.
Instead of refining their model, they are reverse image searching to identify the locations, and matching this to what they know about our recent travels. 😆😆😆

`genzplyr` is an alternative syntax for `dplyr` that replaces boring old function names with GenZ slang. Your data wrangling is about to hit different.

I'm exited to announce a new resource about making slides with quarto and revealjs. This book is the combination of all the work I have done in this area, reordered and polished up
There isn't a lot of new information yet, but this format allows me to add more easily

I loved the "Hmmmmmm" in the crowd when @jcheng5.bsky.social showed this data quality problem uncovered by the #positron Databot tool.
No human caught this during the Tidy Tuesday for the data.
I've been skeptical of AI for data analysis, but this is an extremely compelling use case. 🫣

The thing that struck me most is that even if you take away the code-writing necessity, knowing what to ask the bot for requires so much expertise.
Steps like "These points are overplotted, can we fix that" or "Let's look at only the top 50 restaurants" are incredible non-obvious to beginners...

Hadley is demonstrating ggbot2 - an llm to help to transform a plot. As an analyst who has done endless iterations on a plot (can you make this gteen?), this is like a dream. #PositCONF2025
