Programming language hot take from someone that really only knows one language well and has been using Nix for like 3 weeks: programming language should not come with an internal package manager, their packages should get installed with a tool like #Nix

A vulnerability in #Rstats has been discovered https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-27322

I’m giving a presentation on how to make #stats / #datascience reproducible using #RStats on 𝟭𝟵 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 for #ReproT, https://rb.gy/21920

it’s based on my book "Building reproducible analytical pipelines with #rstats (https://raps-with-r.dev/)

I’ll quickly walk you through how you can use {renv}, {targets} and #Docker to make your #RStats project reproducible!

Let's say that I'd want to compile #Rstudio instead of installing it using a binary. Is there some in depth guide explaining its dependencies, how to build those and ultimately rstudio itself? I see a lot of js libraries getting used and installed using yarn in the source code

@hadleywickham any documentation available on this? the INSTALL file available in the repo for example doesn't mention that the source code of visual mode (panmirror) comes from the quarto repo (if I understood correctly)

I may not enjoy analyzing data with #Python, but I like the workflow of creating a dedicated development environment per project that is encouraged by using pyenv or conda.

Something like that should exist for #RStats, for example a script that uses both RIG and {renv} to provide a project-specific R+packages installation

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

brodriguesco, 4 months ago to python

Even though I think #RStats is the superior choice when it comes to data anything, I think I might work on a python edition of my book on reproducibility. Those notebooks hosted on Github without any requirements.txt or Dockerfiles need to stop!

Also, if I do this, I'll be using tidyverse-inspired packages exclusively: siuba, plotnine and Quarto. But there's nothing like {targets} in #Python, and pkg dev isn't as polished either!

What are some #Rstats packages that take forever to compile?

there's a very large number of doors N < ∞, behind 1 door there's a prize you really want, behind all the others there's shit. You choose 1 door. I then open N-2 remaining doors, all leading to a steaming pile of shit. You can now choose to stick to your initial choice or switch

#econtwitter If you find that #EJMR paper interesting, you may be interested in reading studies on another controversial forum, 4chan. Here are some links

For non-economists, I’m referring to a paper that will be released soon on a forum called EconJobMarketRumors. It allows anonymous posting, so you can imagine the type of posts that get written. The paper leaked and is quite interesting from a technical perspective.

Found this on LinkedIn (haven't tested yet though): "Faucet is a new runtime for #RStats Plumber that enables async requests. Built with Rust, it guarantees the correct managment and distribution of HTTP requests across different Plumber workers."

Looks like the author is not on Mastodon. Link to github repo https://github.com/andyquinterom/Faucet

Would you agree with the following statement (why, why not): "even though #Python is multi-paradigm, the prevailing paradigm is object oriented programming"

So, how come it’s possible to write (in #Polars on #Python) dataset.filter(columnA = "1") if Python doesn’t have NSE? What am I missing or misunderstanding?

Friends I'm testing something, could you interact with this silly #rstats #shiny app for 30 seconds http://165.227.167.200/

greatly appreciated!
