I am here for the date format, but 24 hour time breaks my brain 😂

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 13m

We both posted "counting" posts on the same day 😂 I love it

I'm not in data science anymore, so no Product for me! I'm a data community manager, so my Jira is full of events

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 47m

I ended up at 112 combined personal and work!

I'm so glad I could help boost! We love a good data viz challenge 🤩

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 48m

Is this something people are worrying about? Y'all don't waste your anxiety on this, it's not going away!

I get maybe 2 emails a week that need a response. The rest are automated, solicitors, and ads

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 51m

I did have that all set up! All my filtering rules failed recently, though. Jira has been changing a bunch and I'm guessing the format of what they send changed, but there are some Jira emails I was never able to capture in a filter.

Update: I got two more before midnight, so that's 112

Those cleaning posts crack me up! I kinda love that we share a hashtag

I also get solicitation emails, which I can't seem to prevent! So many of those

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 12h

Goodness! I spend Sunday mornings unsubscribing 😭 and I usually have Jira, GitHub, and calendar notifications filtered to other folders, but all my filters have stopped working recently. I need to revisit 😩

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 12h

Would be nice to have a clean little wrapper func like setdiff_list() so you could just pass it like setdiff_list(x, y)!

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 12h

This is so cool!! I think I want to make a table this week. I need table practice

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 13h

🤔 is this too hacky?

R code containing this:

# setdiff() with vectors
x <- c(1, 2, 3)
y <- c(1, 3, 3, 1)

# what is in x that is not in y?
setdiff(x, y)
# [1] 2 ✅

# setdiff() with named lists
a <- list(i = 1, j = 2, k = 3)
b <- list(i = 1, i = 1, k = 3, k = 3, k = 3)

# what is in a that is not in b?
a[setdiff(names(a), names(b))]
# $j
# [1] 2 ✅

Same, for data frame I'd use anti_join and distinct() I think!

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 13h

Close! 110 combined :(

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 13h

You got closest! 110 combined. I usually have jira and calendar notifications shunted off to another folder, but that filtering has failed lately and I haven't fixed it 🫠

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 13h

Do you want to compare names (in the named list) or just the values?

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 13h

Wait, is this how many you get? 😂

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 13h

I really want to know what this looks like for other people, too. How many emails do you get in a day? Is email pointless as a tool when we get so many?

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 13h

Evaluates to TRUE

Libby Heeren @libbyheeren.bsky.social · 14h

In tonight's episode of Libby Counts Things, I've counted all the emails I've gotten so far today in my personal AND work inboxes combined. Anyone want to hazard a guess?

How many emails did Libby get in one business day?

I'm talking Jira, GitHub issues/PRs/projects, Google cal, ads

I'm crying because my wardrobe is too iconic, JORDAN
