Trump’s DOJ is building a voter purge machine—powered by your private data The federal agency ordinarily would prevent attacks on voting rights. Now it’s carrying them out.

Today, the DOJ sued Colorado for access to its complete voter roll. This marks the 15th state sued over private voter info, 13 of which are led by Democrats. My colleague @ariberman.bsky.social and I published a big piece last week about why this should scare you. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

oh very cool!

i'm using libre office and enjoy it but for sure MS excel, word, powerpoint products are a better experience.

lol -- I see the value in github actions but I'm loosing weeks to small issues so better just start my spare laptop and run my scrips on there

YouTube video by R-Ladies Philly C for R users: contributing to base R

When tracking down bugs in base R code, you may well find yourself coming across some C.

Don't know any C?

No worries! I've got you covered with "C for R Users". The recording from R-Ladies Philly covers a live demo using the R Dev Container.

no more github actions for me.

this is my tech stack.

My brother. Time to go to open source.

finding out in the cruelest way possible that @motherduck.com doesn't support @duckdb.org v1.4.3

tidypredict 1.0.0 tidypredict 1.0.0 brings faster computations for tree-based models, more efficient tree representations, glmnet model support, and a change in how random forests are handled.

I've been looking at the past 3 years of 311 calls in Houston. The number one complaint, overall, is "water leak". So I looked at complaints by census block group, and then looked at the ranking of various complaints. When I map the ranking or 'water leak', there is a clear bias south of I-10.

Is there an #rstats best practices for including a shiny app in an R package? I see mastering-shiny.org/scaling-pack... by @hadley.nz and github.com/daattali/ddpcr by Dean Attali (couldn't find his handle!) - just curious on understanding best practices, bunding data, app, and the www folder etc.

its on the long list of future learnings

crying tears of joy in having this automation actually work

Looks good!

Great!

Thank you

To your package import

I’ll never use Python for data analysis but two features that I am jealous of:

1) ability to give an abbreviation to your inputs
2) ability to paste strings with +

Oh great wasn’t sure if this was a one time thing then in that case I don’t need to duplicate it.

Really enjoying mission. I wrote in R, any issues if I shadow your work but in R?

Thank you!!

can I put your data in @motherduck.com ? I can make an R package for folks to query it, etc.

this worked well!
just need to install the httpfs extension and you are good to go.

oh so cool -- I'm not familiar with this dataset, what is in it?

used my first while() function in a script. Forgot how useful this can be

oh just made the connection that rattle stands for R Analytical Tool To Learn Easily

I never used the below resource buy I come from a family of R users and this was the book I would always see around the house
