Please share if you get this working--I have wished for this feature many times!

I see that @wjakethompson.com updated the #Rstats {taylor} package with lyrics from Showgirl. taylor.wjakethompson.com.

Let's do a little text mining...

Examples of how to use the new futurize package

Oooh love this. Easiest way to parallelise anything in #rstats. Just add futurize() to your favourite function call

Thanks @henrikbengtsson.bsky.social HT @rstats.blaze.email

This really sucks, grateful for what FBref has done for soccer

Really good thread. I love the analogy of LEGOs glued to a drone 🚀

Weird that Mary Long is not SEI, given the ACL injury?

Social science takes time. Here, social scientists analyze a decade of evidence to show that a Supreme Court decision designed to suppress the black vote actually did. SCOTUS may soon obliterate the rest of the Voting Rights Act and we should not be shy about calling out what's going on here.

if microsoft just made outlook search not suck they'd see triple the productivity gains of any AI integration

I'm one of the dependencies on hrbrthemes, and I definitely understand the desire to stop updates. If you decide to archive, I can find other solutions (or I might make the same archive decision 😜).

CBS just wrapped a WNBA game and the postgame announcer said the game is scheduled to start at 3:45. Not sure how the weather is changing in the next 20 minutes 🤷‍♂️

thank you!!

#rstats friends: I'm looking to print some package hex stickers. Any recommendations for die cut sticker printing?

Inside arXiv—the Most Transformative Platform in All of Science Modern science wouldn’t exist without the online research repository known as arXiv. Three decades in, its creator still can’t let it go.

“Everybody in math and physics uses it.”

Nearly 35 years ago, Paul Ginsparg created arXiv, a digital repository for sharing research. It changed science for good.

Three decades in, Ginsparg reflects on its legacy—and its future.

👏👏👏

This a thorough and well-researched piece from Geoffrey Skelley. Please share with your networks to highlight the benefits of government data to businesses, people, and government.

Yeah, most individuals probably don't have their own web domain. But I guess the thinking is that high-profile individuals would, or that individuals like journalists who would benefit from verification would have access to company domains (e.g., @minakimes.espn.com) to associate with an org.

Former Secretary of Transportation--who was not on The Real World or Road Rules--weighs in on the President's efforts to blame the fatal air traffic accident on DEI.

Ever wondered why presenting more facts can sometimes *worsen* disagreements, even among rational people? 🤔

It turns out, Bayesian reasoning has some surprising answers - no cognitive biases needed! Let's explore this fascinating paradox quickly ☺️

Any #rstats or @quarto.org people have a guide on how to generate or assign DOIs to Quarto blog posts?

I think maybe @andrew.heiss.phd might have done this successfully?

Setting up a new MacBook Pro – Garrick Aden-Buie A big post with all the Mac apps and command line utilities I use everyday.

This post is a few years old, but I've used it a couple of times for work and personal macbooks to great success.

programming languages should all support the MIT comma:

R:
function(
foo,
bar,
baz
)
python:
function(
foo,
bar,
baz,
)
MIT comma lets you comment out every argument. In contrast, commenting out baz in the R function call throws a syntax error.

Giving a talk today at IMPS on building bridges between psychometrics island & psychology mainland; slides here (osf.io/jbzg9/).

I stress the importance of theory building & testing, so I also updated my intro reading list on the topic:

A series of line graphs showing the number of songs played from each album over the course of The Eras Tour.

Finally, the data set of surprise songs has been updated to include the South American and Asia-Pacific shows.

A horizontal bar graph with song titles on the y-axis and song valence on the x-axis. The bars are filled with colors in a gradient from light grey to black.

Code to create the bar graph. taylor_album_songs |> filter(album_name == "THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT", !is.na(valence)) |> mutate(track_name = fct_inorder(track_name)) |> ggplot(aes(x = valence, y = fct_rev(track_name))) + geom_col(aes(fill = track_name), show.legend = FALSE) + scale_fill_taylor_d(album = "THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT") + labs(x = "Song valence", y = NULL) + theme_minimal() + theme(axis.text = element_text(size = 20), axis.title = element_text(size = 24))

A new color palette has also been added to match the #TTPD aesthetic:

A screenshot of the new data from THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT. Code: taylor::taylor_all_songs |> dplyr::filter(album_name == "THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT")

Lyrics and Spotify audio features for #TTPD have been added to the built-in data sets.
