Lee Heffner (@leeheffer.bsky.social; 0/0/0; 2025-10-29): #BookishTues The first line of a new book is the ignition for the reader. It either stutters and fails or it sparks and pulls the reader along. I recently put a bookdown after the first sentence because it had 3 adverbs before the first period. Unacceptable.

Jon Harmon (he/him/his) (@jonthegeek.com; 24/2/11; 2025-10-24): I only need 5 more dataset curations (and to review those 5 plus the open PR) to be done curating #TidyTuesday for 2025! I can definitely do at least one myself, so I just need 4 of you to curate a dataset! Check out github.com/rfordatascie… for #RStats instructions.

Mid terms are November 3rd 2026. Go register voters. (@usrbinr.bsky.social; 20/16/2; 2025-10-24): Polyglots what is your secret to switch between coding languages?

I do a lot of #rstats and #sql development and more recently getting into bash and lua and I waste a lot of time on simple errors because of the conventions used by each language

Magnus Johansson (@pgmj.bsky.social; 4/0/0; 2025-10-24): I’ve done some more work on the relative measurement uncertainty, comparing brms posterior draws to “plausible values” in Rasch models, and some other reliability metrics. Estimating RMU from draws adds some variation, as shown in the figure.
