A few months ago I made Tidy.js, a javascript data wrangling package modeled after #rstats dplyr. It works on plain arrays of js objects. Curious if there'd be any interest in this lib if I were to open source it (currently it's internal to Netflix) esp given arquero now exists.

The Spellcaster, my new #webgl experience using #threejs, #gsap and a ton of #shaders. I guess you got the reference. π§

There are a ton of threads and advice on Twitter. But the best advice I can give you is just build something. Use a tutorial to start, change it into something you want. You will never learn more and as fast as you do, building something of your own

#rstudioconf2022 was so busy talking about R & Python we overlooked a WAY CRAZIER combo in @quarto_pub: R & @observablehq! π€― We can do #rstats stuff in one chunk and DIRECTLY PASS THAT into an observable chunk for plotting!? I can fangirl D3 and R in ONE notebook! Blogging ASAP

Decided I'm going to take a break from streaming. It was pretty fun! But a bit stressful to keep thinking of things to make on stream. Avg 7.8 viewers over 8 streams (16.5hrs), became an affiliate. Pretty happy with the experience overall, but also happy to have that time back.

and to be clear (and for my own posterity), that's average concurrent viewers.
333 unique viewers
58 unique chatters
564 live views
seeing a few people return was always nice :) Twitch is a cool place to build a community. Educational content better on async platforms imo

π₯§π Find me a window sill because these 3d pie charts are freshly baked. The filling: react threejs r3f and a splash of #dataviz disdain. Try it out live in the browser:

#dataviz tends to hate 3d pie charts due to their perceptual shortcomings, but honestly after playing with them while making this project, I think they're kinda fun. And anything that can make data fun has value if you ask me βοΈ
