For the first #tidytuesday post wanted to share this benchmark of data.frame vs data.table across common ops on datasets up to 10M rows. Full #rstats breakdown here 👉 open.substack.com/pub/borkar/p...

Love seeing elements from functional languages show up in unlikely places. This will save us writing 5 CTEs before the actual query.

📊 #TidyTuesday – 2025 W18 | NSF Grant Terminations under the Trump Administration . 🔗: stevenponce.netlify.app/data_visuali... . #rstats | #r4ds | #dataviz | #ggplot2
Scatter plot showing analysis of 1,041 terminated NSF grants totaling $613.26M, representing 1293.5 years of lost research time. The visualization is divided into four quadrants showing different grant clusters: Early-stage Mega Grants (51 grants, 66% complete, 547 days left), Early-stage High-value Grants (382 grants, 81% complete, 236 days left), Late-stage High-value Grants (353 grants, 32% complete, 865 days left), and Late-stage Mid-value Grants (255 grants, 86% complete, 192 days left). Each cluster is represented in a different color (orange, teal, purple, and pink), with point size indicating days remaining. The y-axis shows the funding amount on a logarithmic scale, and the x-axis shows the percentage of grants completed.
