Quotes of the Week
One last trick for the day: after webscraping you often get these vectors with punctuation and additional words, when you just want numbers. I find readr::parse_number() even shorter than regexing the digits out of it. ? #rstats pic.twitter.com/C8XdKvkSAb

If you're waiting around for a long-running analysis in R, try adding a sound effect from "beepr" to your script. Not only will it cue you when your results are ready, it makes #rstats more fun. After all, who doesn't want to hear Mario's flagpole fanfare?
