Fellow colleagues through @asa-scipol.bsky.social , @cwstat.bsky.social , and @enar-ibs.bsky.social, we know your work is amazing. You are enough. You are worthy.

To recap, I spoke about the Data Science Learning Community @dslc.io, our book clubs (check out dslc.video for what we’ve read), #TidyTuesday, and {tidytuesdayR}. A highlight for me was hearing about folks’ favorite #rstats packages. ↪

Eric Leung (@erictleung.bsky.social; 11/1/3; 2025-05-02): woah, when did RStudio gain this functionality that when you wait for autocomplete to finish, it’ll show you a preview of that data object that it is suggesting in the autocomplete?? #RStats ↪

John Paul Helveston (@jhelvy.bsky.social; 9/3/2; 2025-05-02): Coming from #rstats to #python, polars feels strictly better than pandas, and likewise for ggplot adaptations like plotnine over matplotlib.

The challenge is the classroom. With pandas and matplotlib in so much code out there, would I be doing my students a disservice to teach polars and plotnine? ↪

Calle Börstell (@cborstell.bsky.social; 5/0/2; 2025-05-04): It’s been a week of upgrading #RStats packages.

The {tidysigns} package has received some tweaks and better documentation. To read your ELAN files and enhancing the annotations for overlaps and (inferred) “turns”. ↪

coolbutuseless (@coolbutuseless.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy; 3/0/1; 2025-05-04): R internals documentation is wild:

“Four bits are reserved, but only two are used (and exactly what for is not explained).”

“Bits 0–5 and bits 14–15 have been used as described below (mainly from detective work on the sources).”
