Happy 207th birthday to Ada Lovelace!

While often remembered as the first computer programmer, she “drew on many different fields for her innovative work, including languages, music and needlecraft, in addition to mathematical logic.”

She was also a countess. Here’s more of her personal and professional history:

Got distracted while trying to get #chatGPT to write sample exam questions

oooh the latest RStudio daily build (v1.3+) supports rainbow syntax highlighting for nested ::: Quarto/pandoc-style divs! #rstats #QuartoPub

This week's #TidyTuesday is elevator data from Hvitfeldt's {elevators} package. I plotted the median speed (in feet per minute) of elevators in NYC by latitude in the style of a skyline with #RStats #tidyverse #ggplot2

I had a lot of fun dorking out for a good cause. Here's a revival of my "how to name files" advice as a 5-minute ⚡ talk for #NormConf.

You should have a look at the whole collection of ⚡ talks -- fantastic and fun and short!

Who needs Spotify Wrapped when you can have #RStats Wrapped instead? 🎶🎶🎶

If you want to make your own #RStats Wrapped, I've written a blog post (including code) about how I made mine based on my #TidyTuesday scripts!

Blog: https://nrennie.rbind.io/blog/2022-12-03-how-to-make-your-own-rstats-wrapped/

A fun thing to do in #Rstats

When writing your script ...
1️⃣ Hit ctrl + shift + r to insert a section
2️⃣ Add an emoji to the label
3️⃣ Toggle the 'document outline'

I find the addition of emojis useful for quick navigation.
