Data Developer in the pharma sector. Mainly into all things data-related using R and/or Python. Bioinformatician by training turning into a software/data engineer.
🧏 People who code have a tendency to spend a lot of time in various IDEs (Integrated Development Environments). They can be as simple as a text editor or as complex as a full-blown development environment. In this post, I'll go through my two go-to IDE's, RStudio and VScode, and why I switch between them rather than sticking to a single one. ---
Look, I'm not procrastinating. I'm merely checking out the docs.rs page for the Windows crate to see if the new "Natural" voices added with Windows 11's narrator update can be accessed through WinRT APIs so that I can modify the VSCode speech synthesis plug-in I found to sound better so it can read my script back to me.
edit: the answer is no, btw (there should be "Microsoft Ryan (Natural)" in that list and there isn't)
does anyone have tips for how to make sense of git merge histories like this? do you use git log --first-parent? git log --topo-order --no-merges? something else? how can you tell if commit A was merged before or after commit B? what if there are "backwards" merges like in the 3rd screenshot?
(no "just make the history linear” or "merges are bad" takes please)
which can at least show me where the branches come from. Not sure if ideal but works for me (I usually handle relatively small repos so not sure how it scales).
On another note, I didn't know merge commits were optional! I'll have to do some reading about it. Any recommendation is appreciated (especially from your blog 😄)
#rstats users and developers, I'm looking for opinions, success stories, failure stories of using DVC https://dvc.org/ or Datalad https://www.datalad.org/ with #rstats -based projects. I tried both solutions myself in small projects and have mixed feelings. I'm curious about stories/blogposts/experiences etc. of others. gügling was not too successful. @rstats
@mbojan@rstats sorry I have only used it for #python, but I use both languages in general, so if you think my experience might be useful I'm happy to share thoughts
Really sorry for the spam, but I'm hosting a #data event soon and I need to fill a bowl with data jokes. I have few but need MANY more. Here's an example of what I'm looking for:
"A query walks into a bar, sees two tables and goes 'can I join these'?"
🙏 PLEASE collective hive-mind of the fediverse, give me your best!
@stfn I've recently started working on a new project with a brilliant team of data scientists so that'll be my day! Usually I'm more of a data plumber so it's exciting to do the bit that comes afterwards for once :D
