Learn how to handle rows in R containing specific strings using base R's grep() and dplyr's filter() with str_detect(). Select or drop rows efficiently and enhance your data manipulation skills. Give it a try with your datasets for better data cleaning and organization.
I'm slowly making my way through a 8 thousand line python addition to #inkscape's #python library for parsing text and font elements in #svg properly. It's important and useful, but it's also a lot.
I'm not sure how to say "please run pylint over your code because my eyes hurt trying to read this". without sounding like an ungrateful jerk. 😅
I'm doing some monitor shopping and am looking for recs. I do #programming, so I look at code and browsers all day. Priority is for screen real estate and text sharpness. There's a budget, but it's sizeable enough to not be a (big) factor here.
Lukewarm take: every supposedly simple solution to a #programming problem just means you’re pushing the complexity somewhere else. There are no simple solutions to complex problems.
I did a write up of setting up Webmentions on my site! I had mentioned it earlier, but there was one stumbling block that took me longer to figure out.
Webmentions let me get notified when people share my posts, respond to my comments on other sites, etc., and lets me use my site for a lot of the kinds of interactions I'd otherwise have to do on social media.
One job interview question I try to ask that I strongly recommend people copy is “can I see your list of pages?” Ideally the full list from PagerDuty but whatever you can get is good.
This tells you everything you need to know about the team you are joining. See a lot of pages that repeat and are snoozed forever? If a team isn’t empowered to fix alerts that wake them up, that means they’re not empowered to do much of anything.
What’s funny is people who try to track and account for pages instantly know why I’m asking, but if you don’t care often they’ll let me see the whole list which is amazingly informative. #programming#interview
It really feels that the GameDev community is either closed source or people using one of the big 4 engines out there. I know there's some other projects but where is all the good stuff? There's a lot of people talking about game dev progress but not so much about engine development. Shouldn't we also understand the basics? #gamedev#engine#programming
scratch, the 'language' for teachings kids the basics of #programming, has better first class support for async work than a bunch actual programming languages
@tripleo You’re thinking of #Perl’s “taint mode” (stop your teenage giggling), where outside data is untrusted unless it’s the extracted subpattern match in a #RegularExpression.
