Most places have strict rules around meeting recording and retention of recordings of meetings. Now imagine if everything everyone has done on a PC is recorded. The attorneys are going to have a field day.

@Cmastication @chrismerkel are they are going to record me struggling with excel cell format? What will they do with that data :blobthinkingeyes:

This thread by @Patricia is amazing. I've been curiously looking at what the Norwegian job marked for my skills is like, and Agile comes up so often. And... This perspective by a developer I very much respect is really.nice.

@Drmowinckels @jimgar Good read and def on point on the fact that a lot of those books should be a blog post and are lacking (data, theory, history).

One "funny" think about "siloed" in research is a "laboratory". A laboratory is literally a place were you isolated yourself or your experiments (welp you can call that a silo). I am not advocating for silo but sometimes they also have some use.

It is such a good feeling to see my own articles on Sci-Hub . All the power to whoever who reads any of my articles through any channel.

For those who don't know what is:

>> The goal of Sci-Hub is to provide free and unrestricted access to all scientific knowledge.

Source: https://sci-hub.se/about

Sci-Hub is created by who, imho, have had more impact on science than I can ever do. Read more about her here:

MAGIP and TNGIC in 2024

I just came off two conferences with one being in Montana and one being in Tennessee. Both Geo related. It was my first time attending the MAGIP conference. Not that you need a long overly drawn out review of both - here are some of the highlights: TNGIC was fun. It was a different approach this year focused on people more than "the usual conference thing".

@sgillies @rjhale1971 When I was searching Job in the US (coming from France) it blew my mind how many folks "require" you to know ESRI stuff (while you can nearly do every thing with an other tools). I guess you need to work with coworkers / clients and here most of them only know ESRI.

@proactiveservices yup we have one I guess I am trying to do the switch from normal bike + trailer (two kids, getting old) to an electric bike with cargo in the front ... (hence the cost = electric + front a bit more complicated frame)

defuneste,
@defuneste@fosstodon.org avatar

@proactiveservices I am totally understanding the price right now (specially if you compare to a new car). I am hoping that soon we will get a good second hand market (kind of like for cars: I never owned a new car).

Exited that the mooc Reproducible Research will get a phase 2:

https://www.fun-mooc.fr/en/courses/reproducible-research-ii-practices-and-tools-for-managing-comput/

The big plus for me are:

  • provided by team of researchers and educators

  • start by understand the need/theory then build on it.

(I liked phase 1 a lot).

Had my @Cmastication moment yesterday on stage here in Brazil when I told the audience, "I grew up on a dairy farm in Indiana. My grandfather would regularly use a wrench as a hammer", when challenged that my idea to release peer-reviewed manuscript model code-bases as open-source could result in people misusing the tools we share openly and thus should refrain. You can only educate. You can't enforce. More good comes from sharing than harm, IMO.

Looking to do some data filtering in base R? Well then of course I have a post for you! Many times people in a corporate environment are strapped from installing packages or it is cumbersome to get it done, this is why I like to focus on base R solutions.

@stevensanderson One small point that I find important with the base subset() is that it also filter out NA.

Really seriously though, why is tabular data more frequently stored as comma-separated values than tab-delimited data? Either encoding scheme requires special handling of delimiter characters, but I see a lot more data values with commas in them than tabs—by some orders of magnitude!

Welp I am trying hard to bring folk from my team to positconf (and ask the org to finance it).

Guess who can't go (for plenty of good reasons) and who can?

Yup all the women can't go and all men can .... Any advice ?

defuneste,
@defuneste@fosstodon.org avatar

@DataAngler to be clear I am trying to organize the "visit" to posit conf (because we have a line of credit for "going to pro conference") but then when I am asking if the women in my team want to go they simply can't.

I guess I will ask an 1:1 with my n + 2.

defuneste,
@defuneste@fosstodon.org avatar

@DataAngler no worries!

yeah I am not doubting their reasons. If we have a budget for something that only benefit the men it is still bad.
