Episode #288: Automate Exploratory Data Analysis & Invent Python Comprehensions – The Real Python Podcast How do you quickly get an understanding of what's inside a new set of data? How can you share an exploratory data analysis with your team? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week with…

On this week's episode, @digiglean.bsky.social and I talk about standalone Django ORMs, YData, a bit of programming history, and more.

Exploring Positron settings | Isabel Zimmerman & Davis Vaughan | Data Science Lab YouTube video by Posit PBC

DID YOU MISS the very first #DataScienceLab when @isabelizimm.bsky.social and @davisvaughan.bsky.social joined us to talk about some of our favorite #Positron settings? Some folks had asked so I wanted to share!

📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on!

“Searching for Birds” searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com 🐤

A project, an article, an exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.

thank you so much for joining!! 👾

Privacy and AI Assistants - Posit Many of our LLM tools can execute code and access your files. What does this mean for privacy?

The LLM privacy question comes up (rightly so) on every data community call I'm on. I've had sooo many questions myself. #databs #rstats #pydata

Come hang with me Nov 5th 12PM ET! We'll be chatting with Isabel Zimmerman & Davis Vaughan from Posit about our favorite #Positron settings. New to to the IDE? Come learn! If you're super familiar & have tricks of your own to show, come share! #databs #rstats #python

there is NOTHING more satisfying than customizing your tools to make your work more joyful!!! sometimes that’s turning on format-on-save, sometimes that’s making your entire IDE pink 🌸 excited to see everyone’s setups and share my own!

I only need *5* more dataset curations (and to review those 5 plus the open PR) to be done curating #TidyTuesday for 2025! I can definitely do at least one myself, so I just need 4 of you to curate a dataset! Check out github.com/rfordatascie... for #RStats instructions.

How about a Positron (or VS Code) snippet that picks a random number for your seed?

Today, we’re announcing the preview release of ty, an extremely fast type checker and language server for Python, written in Rust.

In early testing, it's 10x, 50x, even 100x faster than existing type checkers. (We've seen >600x speed-ups over Mypy in some real-world projects.)

SADLY she uses angular in her day job, so it will not be a quarto vs. quarto competition. but i did convince her to make a quarto personal site 😈

why stop at a template? just have a whole quarto rebrand
