When I started creating portraits of women in tech last year, I had no idea how quickly it would grow into the "Amazing Women in Tech" series ✨

I set up a gallery where you can flip through the portraits:

I played around with some functionalities of the @rladies-bot.bsky.social and @pyladies-bot.bsky.social to improve the blog post promotion. Using Gemini, I had a setup up and running in ~30 minutes.

If you want to try it out yourself, here's my step-by-step guide: bit.ly/embed-gemini

Because it never gets old... integrated gradients are a great (and accessible) way to start making your LLMs explainable 📖

Here's a blog post that I co-authored with @ankuepfer.bsky.social on this topic:

When you come from Hugo, playing around with MkDocs for your package documentation is so smooth! (and when you click the link, you can see how the light bulb "turns on" when you switch to dark mode 💡)

New addition for my baby 💙 I love how the robot hugs the octopus and the snake hugs the R pirate ✨

The PyLadies and R-Ladies bot now also promote YouTube videos on Mastodon 🥳

(and this is what debugging looks like on an extremely warm summer day - at least there are some living plants 🌱)

The Awesome PyLadies' Blogs Repository is growing 🤩

I spent some evenings during the past weeks finding and reaching out to people (also for the Awesome R-Ladies' Blogs repository). It's so cool to see all the different blogs and feeds! 😍

It feels like this week is all about exciting news 🤩 Andreas Küpfer and I have been working on this post for a while now - it covers BERT and XAI from different angles and provides something for everyone 🤓

When I first learned the basics of #shiny, I thought of the server as the 🧠 and the UI as the 👤

Just in time for Halloween, here’s an intro to the #shinyverse in #rstats with more brains and bodies🧟‍♀️

Here's a short post on the basics of package development in #rstats. It covers the general logic and the very first steps you'll take when writing a package 🤓
It also comes with many helpful resources and other 📦to get you started!

Debugging is a good approach to understanding code. And the cool thing: it’s not difficult but powerful 💪

There are 3 commands in #rstats that you need to know that do the work for you:

🛠️ debug()
🛠️ browser()
🛠️ undebug()

👉 To see them in action:

Writing functions is one of the core pillars of programming. If you want to learn how to write them and what I picked up as best practices, here's a short blog post (including an analogy why writing functions is like a blooming flower 🌸): 👩🏼‍💻

Last week I talked about the perks of using #Git at @WeAreRLadies 😺

If you want a summary, I have a blog post for you 👇

If you’re looking for ideas on how to customize your #Hugo theme, I might have some inspiration for you 💅🏻

I recently moved from Hugo Academic to Hugo Portio and tweaked the theme a bit to make it a better fit for me 😊

I had an amazing time curating the @WeAreRLadies💜
If you consider curating the account, sign up for it! It's a fantastic experience☺️

If you need more convincing, here's my experience and why you should do it: (while the memory is still fresh✨) #rstats

The best part about curating @WeAreRLadies is that you always learn something new yourself 🤗
I just learned that GitHub has finally also an organization README - have a look at our overview at @mzes_ssdl! 🤩

One of the coolest features of our #rstats 📦 {overviewR} is the possibility to present your sample in a cross-table. Coming from a #polisci background where I studied post-conflict countries, I often wanted to know how my observations behave depending on two conditions. #rladies

With overview_tab and overview_print you can generate publication-ready tables for reports or scientific articles 🥳 #rstats #rladies #overviewR
November 13, 2024 at 6:39 PM
To better understand how your ids are distributed across time in your data, you can use overview_plot from {overviewR}. #rladies #rstats #overviewr

We updated {overviewR}‘s cheatsheet 💡

The updated version is already available on our website and will also be updated in @rstudio‘s repository 🥳

{overviewR} turns 2 and we’re hitting the 11k downloads - what a perfect birthday present 🥳
Thanks to everyone for using it and for sharing your feedback on how to continuously improve it ♥️ #rstats
