I love this definition of a programming language from @inthehands
"HTML is a way for humans to express their ideas and their intentions in a form that is unambiguously interpreted by a machine. We express our ideas, then turn them loose. The machine's interpretation may diverge from our human understanding; when it does, our ideas talk back to us and they •surprise• us.
If that’s not programming, I don’t know what is."

Mark Zuckerberg does make a very convincing Weyoun. I'm sure the new alliance between #facebook/#threads/#meta and the dominion will be the beginning of a long and mutually beneficial relationship.

Wild, these TESCREAL characters make a really good argument for having broad access to N95 masks to limit the mortality from any pandemic proactively.
Like sure maybe this argument applies to #ArtificialIntelligence but it definitely applies to immediate strategies that prevent mortality and improve the quality of life like #Masking or #HealthcareForAll

Hey #rstats #gis #dataScience folks, anybody know of a location dataset covering all full service grocery stores in the US? I've seen Washington DC has one but nothing national.

Since homicide made the front page of big newspapers today I'd like to point out that about 24,000 homicides happen every year in the United States which means we'd expect 60-something other people to have gotten murdered today without making the front page.

[#]UnitedHealthcare article snippet:
"The McNaughtons were well aware of the financial situation at United. They looked at publicly available financial results and annual reports. Last year, United reported a profit of $20.1 billion on revenues of $324.2 billion.
When discussing the case with Penn State, Light said, she told university administrators that United could pay for a year of her son’s treatment using just minutes’ worth of profit."

OMG high five to Dr. Nitin Kumar for kicking #UnitedHealthcare in the balls. Betrayal of corporate norms is a core form of solidarity.

Live the kind of life that leads people to leave the phrase "I won't speak ill of the dead" on the shelf when you ultimately flatline for whatever reason.

[#]targets #rstats question: what's the current package folks use to create targets that actually generate other targets with the {targets} package?
I have some repetitive target creation I'd love to automate...

One of the projects I'm working with is currently hiring for an #rstats / #python position that's heavy on analysis. All details are here: https://careers.umich.edu/job_detail/255587/research-computer-specialist
It's a really good group to work with, while I've been involved they've demonstrated room for new team members to integrate into their projects, collaborate effectively, and to advance within the university both in terms of pay and in terms of responsibilities.
Happy to talk with anyone who might apply about the project!

The disappointing thing about epidemiology research is that so many current problems just don't need much fancy research.
etc...
It's like you take off the villain's mask and yet again it's just racism or petty political adventures

Mood for an #rstats Rube-Goldberg machine?
grouping_filters = function(data, grouping) {
grouping = rlang::enquos(grouping)
data_groups = dplyr::select(data, !!!grouping) |> unique()
filters = data_groups |>
purrr::pmap(list) |>
purrr::map(purrr::imap, ~ list(rlang::sym(.y), .x)) |>
purrr::map(purrr::map, ~ rlang::expr(expr = !!(.x[[1]]) == !!(.x[[2]]))) |>
purrr::map( ~ {names(.x) = NULL; .x})
filters
}
Surely no one will regret writing this function.

[#]rstats question: is there a working tool for applying fixed standard formatting to R code? I follow set conventions when I write my code but sometimes things get borked and I'm spoiled by #rustlang
I don't care what the style is anymore (learned that from C++) there just has to be a style.
