Anyone other #rstats people find @drob's #TidyTuesday screencasts useful? I made a spreadsheet with timestamps for hundreds of specific tasks he does: bit.ly/2NnMeXH Useful if, like me, you keep going back and ask, "Where in the video did he do [this thing] again?"

@CedScherer Congratulations, Cédric! 🍾

Yesterday night our second child was born. Everyone is healthy and in good spirits ❤️ Now that there are four of us it might be about time for a bigger bed...

@dgkeyes @moriah_taylor58 @OscarBaruffa Ooooops I gave the same answer after yours, David Why'd you reply to a reply lol 😅

@moriah_taylor58 @OscarBaruffa has an ebook on this topic

Any researchers or analysts out there with a recommendation on an introductory course on project management? Ideally something that takes 8 hours or less to get through. Not sure if some #RStats people may be of help here.

@moriah_taylor58 @OscarBaruffa wrote something on project management specifically headed to data analysts. It's not a course, but it might be a useful resource: oscarbaruffa.com/pm/

Due to a last minute cancellation I have one 15 min speaking slot to fill this Thursday afternoon (EST) at the Toronto Conference on Reproducibility. Pls email me if you've got something cool re reproducibility that you'd like to share.

Does anyone have a workflow they like for working with #rstats and snowflake? Is it just ODBC/DBI?

@code_star @teej_m This one is a blast! @willkurt is amazing at making things approachable. His blog is great too

@teej_m I really enjoyed Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way

Data people – What was the last technical book you found useful?

@teej_m Kimball!

@emilieschario My wife did this. She loves it! She wears it across her chest.

I’m looking for a senior data science position! 👩‍🔬 I’ve built and run A/B testing platforms 💻 I am experienced in modeling in R & Python 📚 I have coauthored a book on DS careers (datascicareer.com) Remote or Hybrid (SLC based). Please reach out if you want to chat!

@RohanAlexander We got it just for Bluey. Worth it tbh

Weird they called it Disney+ instead of "The Bluey Channel"

@jacasiegel @rfortherest @dgkeyes One of the standout things about R, especially when learning, is how great and supportive the community is!

I recently shared that I want to learn R in 2023. I was overwhelmed by the support and advice I received! Thank you! I will be getting started with some courses from @rfortherest because @dgkeyes was so kind and welcoming. Over time, I will be sharing my progress in this thread.

@emilieschario yes plz 😁

@Bookish_Rachael Lots of full episodes of Jeeves and Wooster are available on YouTube. Not an ideal solution, but better than nothing!

Took a notion I wanted to watch the Two Ronnies tonight. Not available online anywhere at all; can’t buy it on Prime and only the Christmas special on Britbox. Same issue as Jeeves & Wooster. Boo!

@Alanna_Cavanagh The data is from an online quiz about fictional character personalities: openpsychometrics.org/tests/characte… And the graph is part of a blog post I wrote about the data: alexcookson.com/post/2020-11-1… The full Pride & Prejudice graph is in there! And some other fun graphs if you're curious 🙃

@alexcookson I am intriqued by the chart on your profile. what is the source? Thanks. :-)

@JonTheGeek @robinson_es and @skyetetra have a segment on this in their Build a Career in Data Science podcast. I think it's the Data Science Subfields episode. I don't remember the figures 😬. But I do remember they gave specific numbers.

@RohanAlexander Omg the dream

Clear schedule, full childcare, can't lose

@Amit_Levinson It looks *really* good, Amit!

I recently changed my last name which called for a new domain, so took the opportunity and changed my Hugo theme from Academic to the fabulous Appero. I'd do the I-wrote-a-post-about-the-process but I'm lazy, so here are a few tweets instead >> amitgrinson.com #rstats

@teej_m I like the weekly business review that doesn't suck!

Feeling stuck on prioritizing these drafts. What sounds the most interesting? Plan is to knock out funnels stuff from the summer + 1 more meaty topic before ‘23 hits
