My roommate said you can always rely on me to burn my food. At least I'm reliable | data scientist 👨‍💻 and occasional 🚲 mechanic | he/him

@simonpcouch @JonTheGeek @R4DScommunity Thank you! Hopefully many more to come!

My first package, {cipheR}, is now on CRAN! It's a collection of encryption and decryption methods for simple text ciphers.

#RStats

[Gus Lipkin @GusLipkin]

@akd_ams @reisanar I do have experience in those fields...

There's this Rei guy that taught me a lot of it. Can't remember exactly who he was though...

[Gus Lipkin @GusLipkin]

Oh, and here's a #quartopub version if that's more your speed.

I've been working with Spark a lot lately and thought I'd share some tricks I picked up along the way.

It's also my first bilingual post which is very exciting!

#RStats #Python

[Gus Lipkin @GusLipkin]

Today at work I started writing some documentation for a new #RStats and #Python process using the book feature from @quarto_pub. I even made a fake O'Reilly cover for it. I'm having lots of fun!

[Gus Lipkin @GusLipkin]

I got to send this #RStats joke to someone at work today then later say "[That would happen], based on the teletubby meme" when they asked if a character data point would change an integer vector

Please send me more R memes!

I made my first #Rcpp function today 😎

Why spend 10 minutes making a visualization with #RStats and #ggplot2 when I could spend hours making it with SQL and Power BI instead?

I just woke up to my cat licking my hair. I'm mildly annoyed at being woken up, but very honored that she thinks I'm worth the effort.

I got to go on some warehouse tours at work today. Here's my ratings:
HV/LV: Most certainly not cool
Produce: Cool
Refrigerated: Pretty cool
Frozens: Very cool
Extra frozens: Extremely cool

@AskTarget
Can I get a bulk discount on buying more?

[Gus Lipkin @GusLipkin]

@AskTarget Can we make these more resilient? Mabel is ripping them off the string at a rate of one a month and refuses to play with any other toys. The only thing holding it together is a small knot in the string inside the chicken's head.

I just started a new position today and my workstation has RStudio, but no R install while a fellow new-hire has R, but no RStudio install

A coworker joked that they sensed a new office romance budding...

That post is now live! I've decided not to put this one on Medium, but it is on my website!

My mom had a lot of fun learning about #RStats and I hope this helps other people realize just how powerful and easy to pick up it is.

My mom's in town for graduation and I thought I'd try and teach her a bit about #RStats. We're working with a Tidy Tuesday dataset to do a small EDA and some basic predictions. Blog post to come Thursday!

@rvidal @rstats_tweets @quarto_pub Blog posts! It also seems more flexible with better HTML support.

[Gus Lipkin @GusLipkin]

@RHawlik @rmarkdown I took a quick look through and didn't see anything obvious. In the pr commit, @juliasilge mentions that while tidytext isn't a great place for it, there wasn't a better place for it at the time and it's important to include. Maybe one day it'll show up somewhere else?

[Gus Lipkin @GusLipkin]

@ecojydrology For sure. I thought about going the forcats route but wanted to keep it closer to base. I've used it in the past, but whenever I find the base way to do something, I usually go with that, even if it's a little bit more verbose.

[Gus Lipkin @GusLipkin]

Reordering bar and column charts with #ggplot2 in #RStats can be a bit of a pain, but fear not!
My new post walks through different ways to get your charts exactly how you want them. https://t.co/0DERqL8FM6

[Gus Lipkin @GusLipkin]

@juliasilge
Your post about reorder_within() was super helpful in past projects and especially for writing this post. Many thanks!
