I did update the figure a bit and added labels, but it probably works better as sequential slides in a presentation. If you want the code and the pptx just drop me a dm and I’ll send it all your way.

We streamlined six new DID-like estimators and created this tutorial for implementation in R.
yiqingxu.org/packages/fec...
Hope you no longer need to spend months figuring out what these estimators are and how to use them.

Foods I like that have been deemed “old man desserts” by friends and family:
Rice pudding
Oatmeal raisin cookies
Rum raisin ice cream
Peanut brittle
These are all underrated desserts!

Unrelated to anything else, I think some people’s phones are just starting to look a little dated

Hit the point in my phone’s life cycle where Apple fucks with the battery life and (probably) pays my friends to start telling me how old it looks when i check it.

It's annoying that I have to be an expert at navigating all these food ordering apps otherwise I'll be paying 10-20% more for everything.

I say this like once a week but it’s worth appreciating regularly: we’re living in the golden age of food. The standard for quality, taste, and innovation is insanely high right now. This is both for restaurants and home cooking.

Hello everyone! I teach a class for graduate students on methods for reproducible research. 🔧 🔢
I would interested to hear about the barriers you face in implementing reproducible practices in your research (e.g., version control, code review, reproducible documents).

Mosaic v0.12 is out: database-powered scalable, interactive visualization! 📈 One new addition is support for dynamic changes in the backing data. Move between smaller and larger samples to balance speed and comprehensive coverage.

I once tried to convince the Motif engineering team to run our app on a bunch of Mac Minis we would put in a closet at my house.
In case you missed it: Bluesky runs on-prem. They migrated off of AWS months back.
So yeah, they DO need to put orders in for servers! (Good luck to the dev team!)

Exploring AT Protocol with Python to visualize the #databs social graph!

Took less than 1 hour to get the data and plot it. Amazing what you can do with open APIs and great SDKs!

Other examples of things that the (rapidly growing) data geeks on Bluesky can help with: improving and accelerating graph analytics to improve the default Discover feed:

@why.bsky.team updated cluster mappings yesterday and my Discover feels like it’s gotten a whole lot more relevant. not sure if real or imagined effect. it would be nice to figure out a way to run this thing every day

ICYMI last a couple weeks ago, how we built the Motif query engine and language for analyzing event sequences: www.motifanalytics.com/posts/how-to...
Think of it as an extension of Regular Expressions matching from strings of characters to sequences of events.

Hey data nerds! You have just a week and half left to submit a talk to Data Council '25 (in SF next year!).
I'm running the analytics tracks.
Any interesting ideas we should be covering on the analytics track?
Any brilliant people that fly under the radar that we should elevate?
