Being able to use a lookup table & just use "from" & "to" language like this is SUCH a wonderfully change for me when recoding values 🥹 #dplyr has always felt conversational to me, & now we can finally use it to say "recode this variable from this to that" without typing a long case_when #rstats

It's been cold in New Haven for a while. How cold? How long? What about other cities? I used claude code to cook a webtool to explore what I am calling the "cryofront": the minimax curve of how cold it's been, for how long. Feedback welcome! (AI coding is wild y'all.) jugander.github.io/cryofront/

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

I like paying for the subscription; I find that the results and service are better than DDG. I think you get what you pay for (true for a lot of stuff on internet).
