Thing I just learned in #rstats: unz() lets you connect to a .zip and load files from inside it without actually unzipping it (great for a file I’m working with that’s 30 MB zipped and 1+ GB unzipped, with multiple CSVs in it)

A phenomenal resource not just for anyone doing quantitative analysis of text, but it’s also a great primer for how to approach quantitative social science broadly.

Bruno Rodrigues (@brodriguesco.bsky.social; 9/1/2; 2025-04-19): It is now possible to easily pass data from and to Python and #RStats by serializing to json (but you can still convert more complex objects using rxp_py2r() and rxp_r2py() which uses {reticulate} under the hood for conversion) ↪
