Things I thought before I had children: - I will only buy one pram/buggy - I will not cut crusts off bread - #rstats is better than Python Only one of these beliefs I still hold 🤓

This works really well and is exactly how I make most of my bar plots look anyway so I’ve gone from my own custom function to ggauto and haven’t looked back 👍🏻

Most charities and nonprofits have more data than they know what to do with. The capacity and expertise to use it is the missing piece. That's the gap we want to help close, learn more and apply for our Pro bono support: www.jumpingrivers.com/pro-bono/

#AdventOfCode Day 08 - both parts using igraph! #rstats igraph is superspeedy. pivot_wider() is slow, which to be fair creates 1k columns so that I can get the pairings. Will be a better way, but I was keen to get to igraph asap. First for loop this year 😀 (but I failed Day 03 and skipped Day 04).

#AdventOfCode Day 06 - both parts 🥳💃 Knew I wanted to do today's in #rstats instead of #pydata as soon as I saw it. Nice wrangling. Some duplication in code, but don't have time to reduce. Pun intended.

It's most wonderful time of the year - #AdventOfCode Day 01🎄 Having abandoned #pydata in favour of #rstats 13 years ago, I am keen to give our relationship another go. Especially as I left pre-pandas 🐼 Will revert to R as soon as the going gets tough. Probably in a day or two 😅

Mastering typefaces and fonts in #rstats has always been harder than it should. I have tried to collect much of my relevant knowledge in this deep-dive blog post so you can spend your time picking the right typeface instead of cursing at the computer

Fonts in R

Taking control of fonts and text rendering in R can be challenging. This deep-dive teaches you everything (and then some) you need to know to keep your sanity

Emil!!! I think you're my guardian angel. Just today I was completely puzzled by a Shiny app that loaded in <2 seconds for me, but up to 40 seconds for users! Used profvis and reactlog to no avail... But then as I was scrolling on BlueSky whilst expressing in the parenting room at my workplace...

I've been thinking about *where* I've learned various skills that I have found extremely helpful in my life/career and perhaps the top 3 for me are: - formal education in physics & astronomy - stint in an improv troupe - training and then experience as a teen leading a Bible study group

Playing in orchestras and ensembles - being at the right place at the right time, bringing the right music and wearing appropriate attire. Things similar to these now take up less headspace than they would without the extensive experience.🎻 + formal education in physics 😍 + parenting 🤯

#AdventOfCode Day 11 in #rstats and #tidyverse Part II runs 3x faster than Part I 😉 First time using memoise although that's not the speed-up, as using that in both parts. Even the compulsive R-Restarter that I am (command+shift+R), it still bit me a few times 😂 Coding is joy 🥳🎄

#AdventOfCode 2024, Day 03 in #rstats and #tidyverse fill() probably the most useful function here. First time using co-pilot, it was very helpful with the first regular expression, but weirdly lost the plot when I asked for the second one.

#AdventOfCode 2024, Day 02 in #rstats and #tidyverse I wish I could say no for loops were harmed in solving today's puzzle...but I can't. I briefly envisioned something with maps and filters, but this is probably easier to read and understand. Having fun either way 🥳
