Mozilla's new report on the data privacy of modern cars is nightmare fuel. Enshittification has definitely hit the car industry: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/
@gvwilson what are some resources for getting better at those three things?
@kjhealy "before planning an experiment you should access the hazards"? Well, I wouldn't normally give myself a fungal infection, but if that's what the rules say then so be it.
@Cmastication it was spectacularly awesome and tragically cringe at the same time.
@Cmastication can't be worse than the time I was at iO and my friends made me tell the story of the third-worst date I ever went on. In front of the whole audience. The troupe then acted out the entire date. Again, in front of the whole audience.

I wrote about the idea of craft -- a concept I've been hearing a lot lately in conversations about software work and often find myself wrangling with. But it also turned out to be about my grandpa. In a year of many losses, I have been thinking a lot about those I love and try to take with me in everything I do.

I'd worked for a year as an instructional technology assistant for a college where everyone talked about the students this way. I'd suggest some creative, exploratory assignment structure, or an application of open-ended writing exercises, and I'd get back, "But our students can't even spell! They don't even know proper grammar!" My repeatedly ignored response was that students need to feel like they have a stake in academic discourse to want to participate in it on its own terms. 2/

Instagram just told me to "take my power back from Mercury Retrograde." I have enough going on without fighting a planet.
@ilanahorn welcome back!
@hrbrmstr thanks! This is helpful!
@hrbrmstr what are you using for front-end frameworks these days? Is it something R-specific?
@kjhealy "We'd like to extend a special welcome to our Tungsten-Level passengers, who will be taped to the wing. Stay safe out there."
@kjhealy were you a fan? Ragin and Becker helped me a lot when I started publishing case studies.
@hadleywickham @kellybodwin Not sure whether this matters, but coding typefaces that support ligatures (for example, Fira Code) further exaggerate the visual difference between <- and < -. The symbols that result from typing each respective expression are, I would argue, quite different. For that reason, I would contend that those symbols not causing confusion might, in some cases at least, be attributable to an exaggerated visual difference due to ligatures.
@harlanh you mean this whole time I could have asked you to visit my data science classes? 😇
@hrbrmstr they make blueberry sausage?!?
