#RStats lazyweb: has anyone ever had to connect to an azure SQL database using microsoft entra authentication? I am searching for a solution and all I can find is MSFT espousing how good it is, and so far it feels like an automation nightmare! ping @hrbrmstr because you’ve usually connected to everything before I have.
Muito tempo sem usar #rstats ... desaprendi tudo e fiquei mal acostumando com python. Quanta burocracia para fazer coisas simples. credo... que delicia :) hahaha
I just published a very basic introduction to using Boston's #Bluebikes bikeshare system data in #RStats. IMHO this is a great, underutilized dataset and is especially well-suited for student projects!
(1/3) I am excited to share that my course - Data Pipeline Automation with GitHub Actions Using R and Python 🚀, is now available on LinkedIn Learning!
The course provides an introduction to setting up automation with GitHub Actions with both R and Python. Throughout the course, we will use a real-life example by working with the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) API for data automation. 🧵👇🏼
So over the past year I have been using #vscode for my #rstats and #python work. my workplace is trying to move to a unified IDE, and vscode allows remote access and WSL integration for free. However, so far it fails to spark joy in me like #RStudio (despite lack of #vim mode) and #PyCharm do. Everything feels clunky, and subpar. The "intelligent" and linting things are also quite broken in R... Has there been extensions that fundamentally change the vscode experience that I should be trying?
is remotes::install_github() currently not working? #RStats
Getting HTTP error 401. Bad credentials. Sys.getenv("GITHUB_PAT”) is empty and anyway, I’m just trying to install from a public repo.
Using R 4.4.0 & remotes_2.5.0 on macOS
posit::conf(2024) is an open-source data science conference happening in Seattle on August 12 - 14!
After the final keynote of #positconf2024, connect with R-Ladies Seattle and PyLadies Seattle at the community mixer! Open to all, even if you did not attend the conference.
Bizarre #RStats discovery of the week: control-flow statements don't necessarily have to be within a set of braces, unless the code it at the 'top level'. Super weird.
Request for help from anyone with #rstats package development experience or knowledge of time data, especially if you've worked with .ical files before: checks failing in the {calendar} package preventing updated on CRAN and I'm not sure why 🤷 . Thanks to new contributors for reviving this package after ~5 years dev hiatus! Please spread the word @rOpenSci and anyone in this #foss for #DataScience (or at least dates) space! Details: https://github.com/ATFutures/calendar/issues/50
For #API client packages, I want to make sure args are in the form the API expects. Other packages ({checkmate}, {vctrs}) didn't QUITE do what I want, so I https://xkcd.com/927/ 'ed it and made my own!
There's still a lot missing, and I'll likely tweak the errors to make things clearer, but it was done-enough to put it into the world. Enjoy!
(1/4) TIL about the plotnine library- the grammar of graphics in Python 🚀
I had never heard about the Plotnine library until I came across the Posit Plotnine contest (see the link below). The plotnine is a Python implementation of a grammar of graphics based on the ggplot2 library.
