Some one just reached out looking to extract values from a cell that are produced by #glue from the #tidyverse

Example a cell value like 251 (13%) they just want the 251, so I did something like this:

library(tidyverse)
tibble(
value = glue::glue("{11:20} ({1:10}%)"),
reged_val = str_extract(value, "\d+(?=\W|$)") |>
as.numeric()
)

A tibble: 10 × 2

value reged_val
<glue> <dbl>
1 11 (1%) 11

Thoughts?

Google Podcasts is going away (because of course it is) and apparently I'm putting off the migration until the last minute 🙈

Can you share your fave podcasting app for Android? I don't need fancy, but I would prize a nice lock screen UI and easy queue management.

I'm dealing with some serious fatigue post-covid.
After trying to work 100% almost 3 weeks after being sick for 3 weeks, my body said stop.

I currently spend most of the day laying down, getting completely exhausted after most activity. This includes mental activity.

I'm a little scared by it all, and simultaneously bored and exhausted. I can feel fairly normal one second, then make a simple dinner, and spend the rest of the day with exhaustion, headaches and generally feeling unwell.

There are two types of people:

1. those who understand most qualities exist on a continuous spectrum

2. those who force things into discrete categories

I'd like to show my team the insane power of WASM. Many of them are Python users. Is there an equivalent of this webR demo that hits just as hard for a Python user?

No disrespect to Wes McKinney (I don’t like #pandas, but I personally could have never done something like that myself), but there’s literally 0 reason (apart from running legacy code) to use #pandas now when there’s #polars on #Python. With #RStats, #dplyr is still the GOAT

Help out a lowly R person seeking to improve collaboration with Python users.

In your own words, what would you say is "pythonic"?

I just realised that my #PositConf2023 talk on @rOpenSci 's #rUniverse is up on youtube.

I you like any or all of:

• #rstats package dev
• sci-fi
• wormholes
• using clever tools so you can do less work

My talk has all of that!

Data people: what are some signs that your data analysis project is actually a piece of software (with all the associated accoutrements -- requirements gathering, design, testing, packaging, etc)?

Or, looking at it another way, what are some traits of a software project that differentiate it from a purely data science project (if such a distinction exists)?

Came up with a great analogy yesterday for how specific requirements help everyone:

I often do the grocery shopping.

My wife often lists things like “almonds”.

I arrive at the shop.

There are ground almonds, flaked almonds, blanched almonds, whole almonds. They are on the snack aisle, the baking aisle and in the produce department.

There are various packet sizes.

The actual requirement is something like:

"Ground Almonds, 150g for baking cake”

That thing where you rubber duck the Advent of Code problem with a friend who isn't a programmer and he gives you a really good idea for the solution and now he wants to keep talking about other stuff instead of letting you code it up 😂

Almost one year ago, I’ve ran all example scripts shipped in versions of R from 0.6.0 up to 4.2.2 on R version 4.2.2

https://www.brodrigues.co/blog/2022-12-21-longevity/

as you can see, #RStats 4.2.2 is still able to run more than three quarters of the examples of the oldest release of R!

My great grandmother taught in this one room school. She was later the postmaster in the town I grew up in. When my mom was a kid, she’d take my mom down to put mail bags out for the train to hook as it blew through without stopping. That train was The City of New Orleans which went down the tracks behind my childhood home.
