@ascentale@sfba.social @gbargoud@masto.nyc @bikenite@fedigroups.social A5a My mountain bike and hybrid will get me to work
A5b I often know I’m going to take my hybrid because of the carrying capacity with two panniers. It’s much easier for commuting which is 90% of my rides

Chestnut-sided Warbler! In the backyard. #birdcallout #lifer
The field guide has its song as "Pleased, Pleased, Pleased to meet you."

@davidakin@mstdn.ca @steltenpower@social.edu.nl Wait, is the figure along y axis supposed to match the value indicated by the bar?

@inthehands @srvanderplas Those of us outside MN can call our members of Congress to demand that they do not vote for any appropriationS bills that don’t rein in ICE.

@draken @futurebird Lums Pond is not worth a 150-mile drive IMHO. We go to Lums Pond when we can’t get somewhere more interesting. I’d recommend Pea Patch Island https://maps.app.goo.gl/NXQh9Ca1Tap6egBu9?g_st=ic

@josh0 @futurebird @likesoldmacs We treat our boots every year with permethrin. Ticks are not to be messed with in the Mid-Atlantic.
I asked my partner to get paprika on their way home from a work trip and I was grilled about whether I checked all the places more could be, so if they find pre-existing paprika in a half hour let this be my last word and testament

So I reduced the number of iterations and it goes better
@InternetEh @trochee You can hardly blame the LLM for wanting to impress the C-suite

@R_Foundation Let me count the ways!
1) {tidycensus} makes US Census data useable from the command line and {tigris} is excellent for mapping. It would be cumbersome for social scientists to manually find and extract reports w/o these packages. https://walker-data.com/tidycensus/
2) We know that {shiny} enables us to make high-quality dashboards with R, and these are examples of some in the public sector: https://www.appsilon.com/post/r-shiny-in-government-examples & https://pub.current.posit.team/public/Public_Sector_Shiny_Showcase/

Quoting
Rep. Ernest “Tony” Gonzales [R-TX23] may be missing. He missed 9 of 9 roll call votes (100%) since 03/26/26. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/missing 🏛️
Open quoted postI like the new .by= option for pre-group operations in #rstats, but further operations after summarise() require the group_by() option.
# This will correctly calculate the percent
# of species on each island
df <- palmerpenguins(penguins)
df |>
group_by(species, island) |>
summarise(n=n()) |>
mutate(Pct = n / sum(n)) |>
ungroup()
# This does the percent of each island-
# species combo
df |>
summarise(n=n(), .by =c(species, island) ) |>
mutate(Pct = n / sum(n))
In the end we are really going to power the Matrix, just not the greenish one with dudes in tie clips #llm

@SamUpstate@hachyderm.io @SRLevine@neuromatch.social I don’t commute by bike for the near-death experiences but you do get to see how our cities and towns are designed for cars. And in my town the old “deed-restricted” neighborhoods with one way in and out make it impossible to get around easily.

@Climatehistories@mastodon.social @steltenpower@social.edu.nl These people would have you learn nothing, struggle with nothing, and eventually be superfluous to their business once they don’t need you to ask for it

@taylorlorenz@mastodon.social Nothing new really--just that we make the algorithm with boosting often and following widely. The effort I spend in getting into streams of content is worth the satisfaction of enriching multiple aspects of my life. Knowing that a billionaire cannot ensh*ttify this is also a big plus because the present-day game plan seems to be billionaire + media outlet = ashes.
