my life is so much more enjoyable and stress-free without the boring parts of coding anymore

bitcoin should be an actual coin

curious if anyone has ever tried git for this. would the conflicts just be super difficult to resolve? i’ve been tempted

i could see Leon Neyfach doing it. the season of Fiasco on Iran-Contra was good

I’m off that Yunker

there’s a well-known econometric identification problem here though. if trend is shifting down consistently, but the cycle adds ups and downs, it’s possible that the “ups” of the cycle cancel out the trend just-so, creating the illusion of plateaus. can’t distinguish the two from time series alone

a really nice punctuated equilibrium chart that i think is relevant here is this one for employment in “routine” occupations from Naimovich Siu (2012)

they didn’t even have a discount sticker on this

how can someone be wrong about what something looks like to them?

hell yeah cortisol boost me up

some days when i’m slightly underslept and a little bit hungry, i feel extra “hyper” in the afternoon. any scientific basis for this?

they should make lowercase numbers. letters have both upper and lowercases, but numbers always in screaming all caps

can someone with time write a ggplot code to make this. to help me prove a point and also advance science

see this is beyond my wildest dream of coauthorship coding demands. i’m just pleading with my guys to stop making me use STATA

i made something like that once. iirc had to futz a bit to get the various fonts and alignments right, but it was not a major challenge. v nice plot btw :)

i would be curious to read a post with nice examples of the edge cases; figures that are very hard to make in gg but trivial in base and vice versa. one thing i remember struggling with in ggplot was aesthetics that depend in complex ways on axis variable values

tbc i didn’t mean to imply there is an insurmountable limitation to base plot’s API. mostly just beating back at apoorva’s labor theory of value, and proselytizing for grammar of graphics which i do believe is flexible. if he’d advocated tinyplot in the OP i would’ve have stayed silent :)
