For which other electorates is this also true? #auspol #AusPol2022

@TorSamundsett "It's not my job to win the election."

@katehook4calare That press release misspells your name numerous times with an e, which frankly is not a good looke.

@neilcfd1 @tylermorganwall @NOAA @openstreetmap @CentralParkNYC @nycgov That's a big property price bubble!

@tylermorganwall No, wait! I mean giant ants in gigantic tunnels!

@tylermorganwall Looking forward to being able to add ants in little tunnels in the next version!

‼️Package update art! #rayshader 0.28.0 adds a feature everyone's been waiting for: Dirt! Apply a generative dirt texture to the sides of your map by setting `dirt = TRUE` in `plot_3d()`. You can control the color, clump size, and darkness gradient. #dataviz #RStats #rayverse

@MattCowgill Every conversation I had with ABS staff over two decades has included a plea for them to provide a proper, comprehensive data API that doesn't result in a multi-tabbed spreadsheet being returned. Much nodding, never any action. V. big sigh.

@MattCowgill I have been asking ABS for a proper API instead of poxy spreadsheets for over two decades. Looks of incomprehension from ABS employees have been the only result.

@MattCowgill The whole debt ceiling idea is based on a misapprehension about where money comes from. Money is, of course, created out of thin air by mere acts of the will by banks and govts, which issue new loans or bonds.

@MattCowgill Microsoft Teams becomes almost functional after you add the fifth screen to your desk... and never close the 18 Teams windows you need yo have open, otherwise you'll never find anything ever again.

"I wonder how long it would take me to add a 360° #rayrender camera for viewing your #rstats data in VR..." - me, an hour ago 🤗 #dataviz

@MattCowgill The FT data viz guy gave a keynote at the recent (virtual) RStudio::global conference (for the open-source R data analysis software ecosystem) in which he explained, in hindsight, all the thought processes he used to arrive at his version of your graph, except for one vital one.

@tylermorganwall Bars? Or poles, or rods?

who wants scale bars? #rstats #rayshader

@rstatsdc @tylermorganwall You've been using the new features in rayrender to grow your hair...

Tyler Morgan-Wall (@tylermorganwall) is up next to tell us about the {rayshader} package that make building 2D and 3D maps a seamless process! #rstatsdc | #rstats

@tylermorganwall I didn't realise that Urban Müller had joined the R Core Team...

yep, this is valid #rstats now . <- c(1,2,3) |> \(.) (.**./.) |> \(.) (. <<- . %% 2 %>% `[[`(2)) -> .

@tylermorganwall Any prospects for making use of the GPU cores in the new Apple M1 chip in #rayrender and #rayshader? Assuming an M1-native version of R (still pending a working Fortran 90 compiler in clang, come on, Apple, extract the digit!)

@tylermorganwall We use gt to create lovely structured tables of all our AWS charges... (pull data from cost API via boto3 in python embedded in R via reticulate, untangle the JSON using tidyverse, render with gt, update daily and present in a knitr flexdashboard, works a treat).

Went and ripped out a custom table in Shiny implemented with kable/kableExtra/custom HTML functions and replaced it with {gt}--really excellent experience and great, easy-to-use package! Really simple to add conditional formatting and context-specific notes to tables. #rstats
