A few months ago I made Tidy.js, a javascript data wrangling package modeled after #rstats dplyr. It works on plain arrays of js objects. Curious if there'd be any interest in this lib if I were to open source it (currently it's internal to Netflix) esp given arquero now exists.

@adamwathan @leerob I feel like multicursor editing was the first step in this direction. The gateway drug to duplication

@CrumpledJumper Too kind Todd!! 🙏 🐐

@Elijah_Meeks Breaking changes since then are so disappointing 😢

Steph Curry's 20 made shots from Game 7.

@NadiehBremer Yea exactly. I find the waves draw my attention the most and feels more like a focal point drowning out the constellations as is, so maybe more subtle would feel more balanced. Still looks good either way— it’s just a different focus, at least for me

@hamiltonulmer Thank you for this! I have been stacking two <text>s for too long 😅

[Peter Beshai @pbesh]

@allisonjking @ReesesBookClub Whaaat!!! Congrats, that’s so cool!

@kevinzenghu @colbyrabideau @metaplane Ha what you're working with @colbyrabideau? That's awesome. What a duo!!

@rachelbinx I’d use it as an excuse to try out @astrodotbuild

@zachlieberman These light sketches are so good. Will any of them be added to your shop?

@smtology @Elijah_Meeks @DataVizSociety I think we did handle quote tweets but I don't remember the details unfortunately. The research lab had elevated access to Twitter APIs so it made it a bit easier to do things like this

@Elijah_Meeks @benmschmidt @DataVizSociety @smtology @NadiehBremer Not sure @bridgitmendler, @dkroy, @CCCatMIT ever published the work, but looks like she wrote a bit about it here if you're curious: https://t.co/5kyHu4rV3r

@Elijah_Meeks @benmschmidt @DataVizSociety @smtology @NadiehBremer Write up of the zany process here: https://t.co/UAt8IUVGdA

this version was my favorite, but deemed too subtle for the screen

The Spellcaster, my new #webgl experience using #threejs, #gsap and a ton of #shaders. I guess you got the reference. 🧙

@natashajaques @uwcse Congrats Natasha!! And welcome back to the PNW!

@ThatOneBrah @flybayer FWIW I did write a very long post that shows how to reproduce this. Might be simpler now (post is from 2020) but probably similar ideas https://t.co/IRFWowoPmm

we can _finally_ talk about an experiment @GitHubNext in the works for a long time: GitHub Blocks!
