- Reposted by Ilya KashnitskyThing I just learned in #rstats: unz() lets you connect to a .zip and load files from inside it without actually unzipping it (great for a file I'm working with that's 30 MB zipped and 1+ GB unzipped, with multiple CSVs in it)
- I know this is weird, but I literally have no idea what's going on since yesterday — I suddenly got 200+ new followers without a single indication why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- #demography folks There is a curious paper in PNAS that tracks life expectancy vs income for 6 decades in Sweden. It calculates e40 for each percentile of the population… in a weird way (see third screenshot). Any thoughts? www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... (I'm sure the flimsy methods are consequentual)
- A fast way to use Human Mortality Database locally #demography mortality.org offers a convenient option of downloading all its data as a single .zip archive (~150mb) download --> unpack --> grab fread_hmd_dir() from gist devtools::source_gist("0f93062f2b67eeac69949554027fa84f") --> use!
- Conspiracy: tariffs against penguins were lobbied by Microsoft 🙃
- ADHD — Attention Deficit Hey Dude
- I've been slightly carried away today with the power of Gemini AI Studio in debating abstract background images 🤩
- It is crucial to keep repeating the basic basics until it sinks even with the dumbest ones (who are unfortunately giving the last fierce fight for the dark side in academia, led by the champions of the dumb)
- Today, Anatoly G Vishnevsky would have turned 90 Four years ago covid destroyed his health. Until his last days, aged 85, AG remained the central figure of Russian demography I am blessed to have spent a short but transformational part of my life and academic path with AG. Thank you Teacher ❤️🩹
- 3 years ago, Jim Vaupel passed away he was an exceptional scholar, mentor, and teacher he founded multiple influential structures in #demography here is a short footage on how he approached the challenges read many more warm stories at our memorial website remembering-james-vaupel.org

- Morality is best measured by love expectancy. Thanks for attending my Democracy 101, Ilau Katsnitskai
- 💥José Manuel Aburto is seeking an early career colleague to join his forming team as a postdoc 🌿 JM is an exceptional mentor and friend. And now he is inviting a lucky colleague to join for an exciting ride. It's a highway to the frontier of demography. Catch this unique chance 🚀 lnkd.in/dBJyaF9p
- A huge shoutout to @christian.czymara.com 🙌 who created a customised #rstats chatgpt called Code Nerd that replies only with bare code. It's absolutely magnificent 😍 chatgpt.com/g/g-J5futwiV...
- Here's an absolutely brilliant editorial/essay by @masudhusain.bsky.social suggesting an explanation why academic jobs are becoming ever more stressful and less fulfilling 🔗 academic.oup.com/brain/articl...
- Let me tell you a personal #dataviz maturing story #twitterkast Early in my (side track) dataviz path I had a curious exchange with one colleague on twitter He used a colorful plot, eye-catching but totally useless to reflect the data I criticized it. Later, I largely reconsidered my position…
