I've been using a blog as a replacement for e-mails for my dataviz class this summer and it's been neat to be able to throw out helpful tips with code+output, including this section on why/how I size my figures as golden rectangles https://datavizs23.classes.andrewheiss.com/news/2023-06-19_faqs_session-03-04.html#how-can-i-control-the-dimensions-of-my-figures

The {polars } 📦 “gives users access to a lightning fast Data Frame library written in Rust. [Its] parallel execution, cache efficient algorithms and expressive API makes it perfect for efficient data wrangling, data pipelines, snappy APIs and so much more. Polars also supports ‘streaming mode’ for out-of-memory operations. This allows users to analyze datasets many times larger than RAM.”

@smach I use polars for node.js. However, I don't see the point in with the plethora of amazing mature packages such as {dplyr}, {data.table}, {arrow}, {tidytable}, and so on. Is polars faster than data.table or arrow? Is its interface more intuitive than dplyr?

@smach@fosstodon.org avatar

@jospueyo I haven’t tried it, but seems like it could be a good fit for people who already use it in another language, are used to its structure, and like some code consistency across languages. Some people like having the same libraries across languages. I❤️ R, but there are several different syntaxes to learning popular packages, and not everyone likes that. dplyr and data.table may both be , but they're quite different!

Hi y'all! I was affected by the recent layoffs at Posit PBC. I'm sad I won't be able to work with such brilliant folks in Academy. It was truly an honor, and a great learning experience. I'm now open to work! 👀

Creating values from hex notation using the "0x" prefix produces numerics, NOT integers!

I wonder why ...

Minor Fixes and Improvements

Fix - Modify all boilerplate fitting functions to use tune::show_best(n = 1)

instead of Inf and using dplyr::slice(1)

IF ANYONE ELSE is tired of waiting for the output to run and constantly checking in for large datasets and programs.
example of R code to send an email through OUTLOOK with an ATTACHMENT. has worked so far all day! the key for me has been keeping OUTLOOK open. NOTE: i am not using two slashes etc. Just the simple path that you can copy from the IDE. I am using R STUDIO: "Mountain Hydrangea" Release for windows

@DrSundarb The {Microsoft365R} 📦 is another option for sending email from Outlook using R (and you shouldn’t need to keep Outlook open)

Feeling a bit like Goldilocks trying different slide platforms. iA Presenter is dreamy to write slides in, but doesn't support sound (a must-have for this talk), Keynote doesn't support code snippets, and the JS frameworks are out because I hate writing slides in code and farting around with weirdly specific CSS.

jimgar,

@sophie might be what you’re looking for. You can do your slides with different output types, reveal.js being one of them. Has multi-language support for syntax highlighting and step-through. You can use markdown, embed yt videos, etc. This is a very popular tool among users so there’s a bunch of blog posts and examples out there too, but the docs are also very good imo:
