Ariana Mendible is sharing a great talk, "Small Town Police Accountability: A Data Science Toolkit" here at #SciPy2023. Her group has created a great package to help researchers parse the output of FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) requests, using #OCR, #NLP, and #Python. The library, called SToPA, is available on GitHub: https://github.com/qsideinstitute/SToPA

The Office of the Chief Statistician at #OMB has an opening for a #Statistician to help oversee government-wide statistical policy development and implementation.
It’s DC-based and GS-12/13 with a pay of at least $94,199. Apps due 7/26 at usajobs.gov/job/736451500.
Though a great fan of free/libre and open systems, my professional life also revolves around topics like #oracle and #aws - so expect quite some toots on those.
Does anyone have any suggestions for creating a Quarto book with the capability to switch between R and Python?
I don't think tabs for the language for each code block would work because this complicates the reader's journey too much.
At the moment l think the best functionality would be a toggle button somewhere in the header that switches between an R/Python version of the book (perhaps two different Git branches). However, I'm not wedded to this approach.

Our next :rstats: talk will be an Intro to Functional Programming in R on Thursday July 13th at 5pm Eastern Time!
Functional programming is a great skill for any R programmer to have in their back-pocket and can take your programming to the next level, increasing your productivity and making it easier for you to solve complex problems.
Before the nostalgia becomes too rose-tinted, remember that everything actually wasn't always honky-dory with Twitter's relationship with the research community.

FreeCodeCamp released a new course, Create a Programming Language and Learn Advanced Python, by Aryaan Hegde yesterday. The course focuses on advanced topics in Python, such as:
✅ Object-oriented programming
✅ Data structure
✅ Recursion
✅ Building algorithms
