This was probably my favorite talk from #PositConf2024 on creating a #quarto extension for "scrolly-telling". I loved it because it not only demos an extremely slick extension, it also explores *why* scrolly-teling is such an effective data journalism format.

I'm back on deck after a month on leave! If we connected virtually at #positconf2024, please reach out again — I was in holiday mode and forgot to follow up fantastic conversations with several folks 😭

Excited to share my analysis of baby names using data from the US Social Security Administration! 👶📊 I applied skills I learnt from #PositAcademy and #positconf2024
I found a fascinating trends of baby names over the years, uncovering the most popular choices, and explored how names evolve with cultural shifts.
This exploration was done using the powerful Quarto and R🌟
Check out the full analysis here 👇 -
The amazing talk by Andrew Bray at #positconf2024 about using the {closeread} extension to do "scrollytelling" in #Quarto reminded me of of this "scrollytelling" article an undergraduate put together largely about my PhD research on #tea. It includes a map of all the places I know of that produce 东方美人 (dong fang mei ren, or "eastern beauty") #oolong.

If you appreciated @allendowney's #positconf2024 keynote on the "there is only one test" idea, check out the infer #rstats package! The package was inspired by a blog post of Allen's years ago and implements 4 verbs encapsulating those core elements of randomization-based inference.

@davidhodge931 so @smach has a page collecting the toots about #PositConf2024, which did include a couple posts.

@yjunechoe @jennybryan said at #PositConf2024 that you can set up Positron to use RStudio-like keyboard shortcuts. I see that in Positron by going to Settings (the gear icon at bottom left) > Settings and then search for RStudio. You should then see a check box to "Enable RStudio key mappings for Positron"

@electricarchaeo This one from @smach ?
You can now easily add interactive, editable R and Python code blocks to Quarto documents. These code blocks re-generate results if someone changes the code. thanks to the quarto-live extension released last week. Designed for education, but a lot of other potential uses.

It was so so so so lovely to meet you all at #PositConf2024 especially those who I’ve only met through the screen until this week. Our community is so warm and welcoming 💗

@thomasw what's the vibe there? What do they talk about? Feels like Hannes and Kirill covered all the bases at #PositConf2024, but IDK

If watching the #PositConf2024 keynote on #DuckDB got you excited, the awesome @hrbrmstr has a web book on getting started with DuckDB, "Cooking with DuckDB".

Interesting GitHub Copilot tip I didn't know: You can specifically ask it to use a Web page online as knowledge when asking it a question.
For example,:
# Refer here: https://shiny.posit.co/r/articles/build/html-tags/
# for more information on how to convert HTML to ShinyVia Mark Wang, R developer at Pinnacle, speaking at #PositConf2024

Looking for an open-source alternative to GitHub Copilot? Suggested during a #PositConf2024 Q&A: Continue.
On VSCode Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Continue.continue
On the Open VSX Registry: https://open-vsx.org/extension/Continue/continue
It works with #VS Code, #JetBrains, @Posit 's #Positron and offers functionality such as explaining code sections, asking questions about your codebase, tab to autocomplete code suggestions, refactoring functions. Use commercial or local #llms

1/🧵 Super exciting #PositConf2024 talk by Charlie Gao & Will Landau on #rstats {mirai} and {crew}. For anyone using #targets on #AWS Batch with {crew}, remember if you are using SPOT instances, AWS does not charge for compute time if the SPOT instance is terminated by **them** in the first hour - i.e. an incentive to keep compute time or crew workers under 1 hour.

'til next year, #PositConf2024! Thanks for the great days of love and knowledge and RFriends. 🥰

We have a "downer" label for issues @ #TidyTuesday. We don't want people to be traumatized by their data homework.
We don't have a specific "hopeful" or "happy" label, though. I want to change that.
Do you have (or know about) a dataset that demonstrates something that is undeniably bending toward justice? Please submit it as an issues at https://github.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday/issues, or (better) curate it using https://github.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday/blob/master/data%2Fcurated%2Ftemplate%2Finstructions.md

OK #PositConf2024 -- I acquired most of the stickers I heard were available; here's my final score! (Thanks for the assists @ivelasq3 @kellybodwin and @tanho ). I'll be re-distributing many of these to my students as leaderboard prizes 👩🎓👨🎓 #rstats

I heard that the "you should have some hope, actually" morning keynote was "controversial" and now I'm kinda depressed. I'm choosing to remember the keynote and not be depressed so much, though. Or at least trying. #PositConf2024

I wrote up my impressions of the second day of #positconf2024 on LinkedIn. Had a great time.

Ok so I'm not going to lie I am a bit of a zombie 🧟 after the last two days of #PositConf2024 virtually from AU 🌃 so I've disconnected my laptop from the dock and will spend today roaming around the house following the natural sun. However this is the bullsh** that I have to deal with 👇😞
