@sophie_e_hill That's what style guides are for. And please don't use "save", if anything is going to confuse your students it's probably that. adv-r.had.co.nz/Style.html google.github.io/styleguide/Rgu…

People who teach #rstats: how do you help students remember to resave a dataset after adding a new variable? Using the flipped "->" at the end of the line preserves the intuitive order (add a column, then resave), but feels awkward to me...

@denbiOffice @ELIXIREurope Those are some funky looking pcb traces.

Registration is now open for the online #training community kick off event ‘#DataManagement/ #DataStewardship’ organised by @ELIXIREurope CONVERGE-WP2, on 24th March 2022, 12.00 – 14.00 (CET). Your opportunity for building a DM/DS Training community! denbi.de/events/1377-tr…

Two weeks in and still no response from @RedbubbleHelp @redbubble. I did get two unhelpful DMs from the friendly neighborhood 🤖 and a bot called Daniel though, I guess that's something. Maybe I should ask @mikeilczynski instead.

@RedbubbleHelp @redbubble Not to diss on your friendly neighbourhood robot, but is there any human I can talk to about this?

Dear @redbubble @RedbubbleHelp, I hope you can spare a minute to review the deletion of my account and at least give me some feedback. I take great care to make sure my content is either my own or does not infringe on any IP rights. #redbubble

@redbubble So I'm hoping that's what happened to my account yesterday but I guess that's wishful thinking ☹️ My #redbubble account got deleted for no apparent reason and I'm not getting any answers. Meanwhile, plenty of stores with actual infringing content are still up. @RedbubbleHelp

Recently, we identified an error that inadvertently suspended several user accounts. We apologize for the frustration this has caused, and are currently investigating the issue and working towards a swift solution. Thank you for your patience while we look into this matter.

When you see other journos' profiles who say they've been writing about emerging tech since 2004, it kind of makes you want to bring up CP/M and the 1970s

@eggheadio Change employer, duh.

How do you learning a new technology, when your employer isn't using it?

@JavaScriptCoff1 Teams

What is the worst GUI you ever used?

@JavaScriptCoff1 R, no question.

In your opinion, what is the most difficult coding language to learn?

@GergelyOrosz This is great, I'm dreading the thought of having to become a manager to increase my compensation. 👨‍🔧

How much of a raise did I get when I went from senior engineer to eng manager? I didn't. In fact, my compensation went slightly down. This is unique to large tech companies who want to NOT give the wrong incentives to become managers (aka: money). I think it's brilliant.

@BaranCodes Sublime Text or @Typora

Anyone have a particular recommendation for markdown editors on macOS? Ideally something that's lightweight. 🤔 I can't stand using VSCode for writing markdown.

Kubernetes for beginners.

Are there any YT videos of engineers debugging and solving actual production incidents? You know, like True Crime but for nerds

just to reiterate: about 10 percent of world trade has been at a standstill for 2 days because a cargo ship drew a giant dick in the Red Sea then wedged itself sideways in the Suez Canal vice.com/en/article/pkd…

@EvanKirstel Is it just me?

This wooden Buran Space Shuttle was used as a wind tunnel model to help further improve upon existing aerodynamic designs. bit.ly/2P8kFW3

A third of all genetics papers published in Nature over a decade (and 20% across all journals) had errors due to the fact that many gene have names like SEPT2 (the official name of Septin 2), which were automatically coded as dates by Microsoft Excel. genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

@EmmaBostian +1 for the pants. I don't even bother with real pants anymore when going out.

The best part about working from home is the ability to nap during lunch. Also not wearing real pants.

@JavaScriptCoff1 Comment driven development here.

Does anyone else type pseudo-code and then just stare at it in despair?

@Jim_Leary @Qafzeh Eggcellent!

This is my new garden office and it’s the best thing ever created by human hands! It was started 3 months ago and today it is finally finished!
