Ok, Mastodon is officially a lot more awesome than I had realised. There's a federated server for everyone who's really into bitcoin, and, yes, it is full of people who are as awful as you can imagine. But, with one click, you can block the entire domain! 12.8k thousand crypto weirdos filtered out in a click. Amazing.

TIL that the ubiquitous iris dataset was promoted by a eugenicist (the "Fisher" in "Fisher's Iris dataset", even though it was collected by the botanist Edgar Anderson).

A new alternative to this dataset is provided by the palmerpenguins package, now available on CRAN.

Replace you example data tied to a eugenicist with a dataset about cute penguins, which was collected by Kirsten Gorman, and packaged by three women.

Awesome write-up here: https://education.rstudio.com/blog/2020/07/palmerpenguins-cran/

Release the penguins

The palmerpenguins data package is now on CRAN! Here are some examples to highlight why it is a great replacement for the iris dataset.

I was so much worse at trig 3 months ago; this integral would've scared me, and now it's just a few lines to simplify #maths #calculus

Column/format lengths too-- it doesn't seem like it should such a hassle to concatenate files... I can see how this is a potential safeguard against anomalies, but I'd like to set up these checks *later*, after I figure out how my program/query should look
