What’s the opposite of Edward R Murrow’s “Good night, and good luck”, you ask? I give you me signing off of a chart tutorial. #RStats

I have a #rstats #Positron question: anyone run into issues with auto-indentation, and did you fix it? Here’s a video example of the issue, I want it to work in Positron like it does in RStudio! I’m sure I’m missing something.

I would love an #rstats function that copies a dataframe to a clipboard in a table format that I can drop in an email or chat. Anyone have tips here? I found how to copy in a delimited format, but it wasn’t coming through in a table.

So far it looks like people prefer the first approach but suspect it’s not best practice. I definitely prefer the first but asked because I thought it would be in the minority! #rstats
Stirring the pot this morning: #rstats crowd, which do you prefer?

df3 <- df1 |>
left_join(df2)

OR

df3 <- left_join(df1, df2)

Is #rstats a thing on here? This was made with R.

Or, what population density?

Just started a new project to compile state population density maps in a book format. Check out my first chapter on Alabama: pecners.github.io/state_popula...
