Someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this, my society is dying

My vote in the 2028 D primary for POTUS will hinge almost entirely on the % of this Administration they promise to imprison

🤯🤯🤯 Now this is what I'm talking about!

nooooooo it was one coding session, it didn't mean anything

yes absolutely ... the dangers of errant merges are dire 😭 and it feels even more dangerous when i'm just learning R and there is no simple way to inspect my merges. at least tidylog may provide a good first step!

omg perfect!!! thank you! tidylog seems to be exactly what I was looking for (I wanted dplyr's many-to-many error but for other kids of errors as well, e.g., if i tried doing m:1 but there were multiple records in the second data)

yep, basically wondering whether i have to write this every time i use join()

merge_flag = case_when(
!is.na(x) & !is.na(y) ~ "matched",
!is.na(x) & is.na(y) ~ "X_only",
is.na(x) & !is.na(y) ~ "Y_only",
TRUE ~ "error"
)

yup yup i just meant to say that diagnostics are trickier. I've tried to write my own function, but at least at this stage of learning it's not pretty easy for me :) if i use my own (clunky) function, it seems I lose the rich functionality of R's native join? Maybe soon though! 🤞

This is the only package I found aimed at that issue. But the "relationship = ..." doesn't show warnings when it should

randrescastaneda.github.io/joyn/

I finally made the switch to R from stata, and as a fierce long-time defender of stata, I can concede that R is leagues better in almost every way.

Still, I do wish there was an easier way to diagnose merges w/o complicated code. GPT hasn't helped, and joyn doesn't seem to do it right. Any advice?

dammit i did not see the first comment

Trying to identify opioids and other drugs in pharmacy data (claims, PDMP, etc.)? Use my code to quickly build a list of national drug codes (NDCs) using the free public database RxNorm.

I wrote this code to replace the CDC's now-discontinued opioid NDC dataset.

The Republican Party has fully embraced fascism and destroyed American democracy. But some Democrats still say Latinx. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Media coverage of Kilmar Abrego Garcia hurt Trump, not Democrats Public opinion on immigration has shifted — and pundits need to catch up

New piece! Media coverage of Kilmar Abrego Garcia hurt Trump, not Democrats. An actually data-driven analysis of some stale conventional wisdom.

Alt title: Matt Yglesias is wrong about Democrats and Abrego Garcia🧵

the brown representation in current US politics has been killing me day in and day out ... but this!!!!! omg my heart. PLZ NEW YORK ... plz. PLZ!!!!!!!

Today I gave a talk in Rome and choked up reflecting on the rare, incredible bonds that unite the global academic community. No matter where we're from, we speak the same language & believe in the same things (progress, truth, science). What an honor to belong here, even in these tumultuous times.
