If you teach datavis and don’t include this next time on “why datavis is only very mildly about computation and very much about power politics and number-washing nonsense” (and you *are* saying that, right?) you’ve failed as an instructor, I don’t know what else to say.

Thanks everyone for coming to the #EdinburghWinterSchool25 and making it such a great event. It's such a pleasure to connect with the programming educator community! We'll be in touch over the next few weeks about the edited book - can't wait to work with you on it!

This New Year’s Eve, it’s completely okay if all you did was survive this year. Times are getting harder and harder and honestly, it’s a miracle some of us made it this far. You don’t need to finish the year strong. Finish rested. We all need to be gentler on ourselves and each other.

I completed a crash course in #regex using regexone.com, and used it to solve the Day 3 #adventofcode challenge in #rstats. Code at github.com/edinkasia/ad... Thanks to @drpawelo.bsky.social for moral support (I refused other help 😅)

It is impossible to describe the relief I feel reading a student paper that has grammar errors, typos, missing words, or second-language idiosyncracies and I can confidently read the work knowing my student actually wrote it and is expressing their knowledge in their own words.
