So, I turned my life upside down and found data!

@hankgreen In Europe, meter then centimetres for height. Here is Australia it’s just weird, people only use imperial for 2 things: your height and your newborn weight (but never on your current weight). Can’t understand either… But reply in metric and they’ll get it.

Hey @VodafoneAU, I understand that regional Australia might not be a priority but this is ridiculous…

@rstudio A big thank you to whoever in the dev team is changing my workflow forever with custom panes! 🤓(Daily 1.4.655)

Dear white people,
For days you’ve asked me what you can do to help. I’ve finally found an answer.

Let your guard down and listen.

Australia exposed data for over 774,000 migrants https://t.co/BwL1iwxoXx

@mpesce @abcnews Great, no, some of the best? Yep. From that list: Cases / Tests: 1.6% (bottom #21 in the list for those that have tested). Deaths / Cases: 1.05% (bottom #26, NZ is #18). UK is 24.8%/13.4%, US is 19.8%/5.4% for example.

If you dream to become a data scientist but don’t know how and from where to start, this book is for you. I hope it will inspire you and kickstart your career in data science.

@fcancio Tenta entrar com $2M em coca e claro, vai ser a desgraça em Perth... Já ninguém se vai divertir! Por cá a polícia gozar com idiotas é habitual, até fazem programas disso!

Hey @oportoaustralia next time, spell check!! It’s OLÁ with an acute accent, not a circumflex!

I'm just going to throw it out there: the new Mac Pro is very reasonably priced when compared to other professional workstations. Just go and try to configure a Dell 7920 similarly... 💸

Coming from a Beats Studio 3 to the Airpods Pro and the difference is *amazing*. The ANC is phenomenal on the low frequency, sag mill noise I have at work. Much, much better, and actually important! Comfy, do the job and sound good. Very happy #Apple!

@hellomista I'm going to spoilt it... :D 3 years already!! It took me ages to find it as well, and once I did, I never did another nested ifelse() statement. Bonus on case_when(), you don't really need to set a "TRUE ~" for all "the other states". If you don't it will NA by default.

[Pedro Fernández @pafmax]

The "it kinda works" paradigm: you know there is a better way to do a process, but just don't have enough time to develop that solution. So you're left with the bad one. Forever!

[Pedro Fernández @pafmax]

@datafuturology @cargomoose Money talks... For me it's usually whatever makes more product, safer and cheaper. Domain knowledge is the key ;)

[Pedro Fernández @pafmax]

Weird to say this, but I'm very happy with the new Edge Dev. Quick and stable! Good job @MSEdgeDev

The difference between n00b and expert in #rstats
n00b: finds a typo in the df name at the start of the dplyr chain.
expert: checks console and google for error, purges environment, re-installs packages, restarts R and runs again. 10 mins later figures out the typo.😳

[Pedro Fernández @pafmax]

How do you organize code chunks that can be useful for recycling in other scripts? Does anyone have a good method? #rstats #rstudio

[Pedro Fernández @pafmax]

4 days into 2019 and one of my #rstats goals for the year is already ticked:
☑️Introduce a colleague to the wonders of R and the TidyVerse, and teach them the black arts of data wrangling.
