Tough day, but you know what they say: “Don't cry because it's over. Cry because your laptop is about to be factory reset, and despite saving all the dotfiles and configs, you just know that it's gonna take you forever to get your dev environment right.” 😭

🫣 So, apparently this is a thing?! I mean, obvi don’t need it for myself (even though I love writing a good thank you note), but, y’know, I’m case anyone else does… 🧯 “How to write a thank you letter for not being fired” buff.ly/3qRIx2N
How to write a thank you letter for not being fired. When you find yourself in a situation at your job in which you could have been let go but were retained, it is natural to be appreciative of the people responsible for helping you keep your job. Whether you have gratitude for the supervisor who made the decision not to fire you or to a coworker who helped you maintain your position, a thank you letter allows you to express your appreciation and can further strengthen your bonds with them.

🫤 Unfortunately, I was affected by last week's layoffs at @posit_pbc along with a handful of other talented colleagues. 🖤 I’m bummed, but so grateful for the 5½+ yrs w/ my incredible team. 🔍 Taking some time to recoup, but will be on the hunt for new opportunities soon!

Text reads: "I’ll use n (or Next) to continue following the path pkg takes through the function" followed by image showing highlighted code for four steps through a function. Caption reads: “(a) Use Console to step through function Figure 10: Use n to step through check_pkg_ns()”.

I'm excited to share Notebook #2 in the "JavaScript w/ Data, Dissected" series! It's amazing how many JS essentials can be packed into one little line of code. In this one: filter, includes, strict equality ===, arrow functions, + more w/ fishes data! 🐟 observablehq.com/@observable…
A schematic with text bubbles describing different pieces of code. (1) fishes: an array of objects; (2) .filter: iterate over each object in the array, only keeping objects in a new array if they satisfy certain conditions; (3) d => d.COMMON_NAME === "Painted Greenling": only keep objects where the common name is Painted Greenling...; (4) && ["NAPL", "CARP"].includes(dSITE): AND (second condition) the SITE value is either "NAPL" or "CARP"

While teaching an #rstats workshop, a student suggested I use the updated version of the separate function in tidyr. I'm impressed! What I show below, is a pretty common need.

No food for mini Winnie this morning because she has surgery (teeth and eyes—no-emergency), and Scuppers and I are fasting in solidarity until *after* I drop her off. The doggos definitely HAVE NOT noticed, and aren't being EXTREMELY melodramatic about it. 🫠
