Just run the wordfish model. I was not aware of such ideological segregation among supporters

Genuinely opening a colleague's script to smoothly transition again into working after the X-Mas break. When suddenly... 🤌😵

TIL that a "greedy algorithm" is called a "glutton algorithm" in French. Now I can't think of anything but Wolverines 😄

Periodic reminder for folks working on German politics and using #rstats :

The #Bundestag deployed an API about a year ago. {tidybundestag} is your new friend to query all sorts of parliamentary documents and metadata.

To convert the AT Url into HTTP URL, take a look at the function atr:::convert_http_to_at(<your original AT URL>), you'll obtain the corresponding HTTP URL, which should be reachable (assuming the data is openly accessible)

🚨 New package 🚨

So excited to make {atr} public! 🥳🤩

Since the new place would not be that new if the data were not easily accessible from #rstats, we got you covered!

Props to my amazing partners on this quick project! 😍

An undervalued advantage of the imperial unit system is that you get to revise your fractions each time you drill.

I don't really understand how such warnings are triggered but I really like the idea of having those warnings.

I don't want to overstate causality here, but FWIW, the fraction of your jokes I understand is very funny.

DAG below suggests you may wanna start working on the complexity first. Admittedly, my observations are biased and you should get more complex minds involved.

My bad, once again, I failed to capture your jokes 🫣

anyway, it's good to see you on this platform, as I still have hope to better comprehend your sense of humor in the future (that's my own personal and modest development goal)

It is possible to query the complete stream of events happening on the platform
