Things I teach my kids:

• “No” is a complete sentence.
• If you’re not having a good time you can leave.
• Never make yourself smaller just to make other people more comfortable.
• It’s okay not to be okay.
• Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from.
• Other people’s opinions of you are none of your business.
• Speak as kindly to yourself as you would speak to others.
• Be your own greatest cheerleader, always.

It’s never too late to learn these things.

🇧🇻 Today is the National Day in Norway, when we celebrate our constitution.
Norway was under Danish rule since 1537. In 1814, Denmark "lost" Norway due to their support of Napoleon and Norway was given to Sweden. But Norwegian intellectuals and politicians sat down in February 1815, to write a constitution. This constitution was signed by the Swedish king May 17th 1814.
After being a more or less self-ruled colony, Sweden accepted Norwegian full independence in 1905.

So over the past year I have been using #vscode for my #rstats and #python work. my workplace is trying to move to a unified IDE, and vscode allows remote access and WSL integration for free. However, so far it fails to spark joy in me like #RStudio (despite lack of #vim mode) and #PyCharm do. Everything feels clunky, and subpar. The "intelligent" and linting things are also quite broken in R... Has there been extensions that fundamentally change the vscode experience that I should be trying?

It is disappointing to see the persistence of male dominated professional spaces. We applaud Christina for bringing up the issue and then for making the hard decision to exit the organization when action towards diversity was not taken. We hope leaders in these spaces evaluate the conditions that created
this environment and take action to meaningfully involve underrepresented groups. #rstats #rladies

Just watched Jodie Burchell's @t_redactyl talk from #ndclondon about applications, risks, and limitations of #GenAI models.

https://youtu.be/lLNJld729bc?si=QjMzMLXsVIAN7w9R

It's one of the best more-or-less-entry-level videos I've seen on AI, ever. Thorough, but only detailed when relevant. Particularly impressed with the critique of Microsoft Research's definition of "intelligence" contrasted with François Chollet's formulaic approach, really well explained.

This should be refined and expanded into a YouTube series.

holy hell Github - this is bad

heads up repo maintainers on Github - you may want to disable interactions for now

The last thing any OSS maintainer needs is their project getting a strike because some bad actor chose their repo 😤

I ❤️ {rhub} !

Just checked new package on 9 R setups - including valgrind and address sanitizer.

Such a confidence builder that the package won't barf too much on CRAN :)
