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.

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

My inspiration for this map was a combination of ice and stars. Ice because, Alaska is way north, but also the reflective quality highlights the sparse population.

Stars because the sparse population centers look a bit like stars in the sky, and as a reference to Alaska's flag.

How does that 14% compare to the rest of the US? Alaska has more National Park land than the rest of the US, combined.

Among that surfeit of unpopulated land is a large amount of National Park land. About 14% of land in Alaska is managed by the National Park Service.

While there isn't much population, there's a lot of land. In fact, Alaska's land area is about equal to that of these 12 states.

There are just a handful of identifiable population centers. Top 3 most populous cities are visible: Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau.

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...
