Listen, #ggplot: Iove you, I do. But 90% of the time when I want to set fill or color manually I don't want to have to look up and figure out an entire fucking palette of colors. I want 2 or 3 colors, the end. I want to specify them easily.

#ItsNotYouItsMe I realize this

I just want firebrick and navy. That's all. It always takes me 10 minutes of searching to remember that scale_color_manual exists; I always end up seeing pages for scale_color_discrete first.

The truly important reason to try the #positron R/Python editor is that it can work in parallel with another R session open in #RStudio for a different project...

Also amazed by the #Pluto notebook for #Julia scientific work. One of its nice features is that the associated file is in text format and the code can be easily extracted. Not yet ready to switch from #ggplot to #VegaLite though.

Played around with labeling a line plot. Ended up using:

📦{directlabels} for the two curved lines
📦{geomtextpath} for the horizontal line

Felt like an hour well spent. 😀

Removed actual labels to avoid starting a totally different conversation, but a keen eye might spot the topic!
