MUST READ: "So everything is just a pile of barely working code added on top of previously written barely working code. It keeps growing in size and complexity, diminishing any chance for a change." tonsky.me/blog/disenchantmen… 💯 👍

"I clicked 'smooth lines in Excel'" is a winner. As are the others. Nice for issue 2^11 truly taking it to eleven for us data nerds.

Glad you like it--this is why I mentored a @GSoc student to create a @postgresql package for #rstats back in 2008, or a decade ago. RPostgreSQL is still going strong, but like any other Open Source project could do with fresh love and enthusiasm. Maybe you, maybe another reader.
Just started using @postgresql on my @ubuntu machine! I now have two loves, SQL and R. And the best yet is you can run R in SQL! #rstats #SQL #postgresql #RinSQL

Tip for referees of resubmissions: draftable.com/compare will compare text across 2 pdfs. It even highlighted changes in table notes. Super useful! Note: this is a screenshot comparing one of MY papers before and after a revision, NOT the paper I'm reviewing today.

There are several volunteers for different Linux distros; eg @marutter covers @Ubuntu, based on / extending what I do in @Debian -- and I do think that these two are best supported. @cboettiger and I use both for the Rocker containers for @Docker, look there for more tricks.
