Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

Growling at my TV: The problem is not loneliness among American young men--and not phones or games. It is racism among them. Let us not invent another trope to avoid talking about the actual pathology in our society.
Next Haass and Goldberg talk about getting people off phones and into houses of worship: the essence of conservative wishful nostalgia that ignores the role of the evangelical church as a major force of the fascism and racism in America today.

A five-minute #COVID19 update 🧵:

• COVID is still rising in the US, but it appears to be doing so at a slower rate. It is very uneven across the nation, however. I predicted six weeks ago this surge would be worst in the South due to heat and time indoors in air conditioning. Currently, the 10 counties with the highest COVID hospital admission rate are in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Texas, and Louisiana. The next ten are almost all in the Plains and Texas. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/these-are-the-top-covid-hot-spots-in-the-u-s?src=usn_tw

Just sent out my latest Substack newsletter - https://simonw.substack.com/p/datasette-cloud-datasette-10a3-llm - and it genuinely took me less than a minute to compose and send it

Copy and paste is the most under-rated API!

Here's how my newsletter flow works: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Apr/4/substack-observable/ - all of the work is done by this Observable Notebook: https://observablehq.com/@simonw/blog-to-newsletter

100% agree with this. Generative AI technology will absolutely transform the way people consume and share information. It will cause fundamental shifts in the workplace, and not all in ways we can predict. But don’t expect it all to happen this year or next!
Transformative technologies take time to work their way through society (and the economy). They always have.

Why @kirill likes working with #rstats {dplyr} syntax vs SQL, he tells #PositConf2023 😂
The new {duckplyr} #rstats 📦 aims to be a "drop-in" replacement if you want to use dplyr syntax and the speedy duckdb database.
https://duckdblabs.github.io/duckplyr/
With dbplyr, some dplyr syntax doesn't work.

It has come to this:

All blog posts will now be R packages hosted on GitHub because I don't know if I have the patience to figure out how to upgrade my hugo/blogdown franken-blog to whatever the new hotness is (Quarto?) so I'll just make a new package and a README.Rmd for everything.

Is something broken with @Mastodon lately? I keep seeing replies in my Notifications feed, but I can't see to what they are replying. Frustrating not to be able to see threads of conversations.

My R Shinylive app is now on Github Pages. It was simple and straightforward to deploy the app on Pages, a tutorial to follow...

Please be patient while loading 😝

Pros:

• Serverless
• Easy to deploy as a website on Github Pages (and similar)

Cons:

• Slow load time
• Still experimental

The {document} #rstats 📦 creates roxygen2-style documentation for functions that aren't (yet) part of an R package.

In the screenshot below, top left shows a test.R file with a function called test_function , including roxygen definitions. After running

d <- document("test.R")

I can use

?test_function

to read the help file as if it were part of a package.
