This thread by @Patricia is amazing. I've been curiously looking at what the Norwegian job marked for my skills is like, and Agile comes up so often. And... This perspective by a developer I very much respect is really.nice.
People are so fcking indoctrinated at this point they can be an experienced software/data manager and NOT EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AGILE AND SCRUM. In my experience so far most are just doing a rigid form of Scrum and are more process-focused than on people and product. But no, according to them actually more process and more barriers between the people doing and delivering the work = “Agile”. So long as the ceremonies are booked in everything is working!!! (2/2)
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?
@bentoh In my experience the Python stuff is more complex because so much of the ecosystem is repetitive and just a lot of very similar variations. You may find that having Black and Ruff both enabled is part of the problem because the latter is a drop-in replacement for the former, plus it’s a linter.
For R you at minimum need the R extension and the R package {languageserver}, but also ideally you’ll want the radian terminal too.
@bentoh For R I wrote a guide for macOS users, but most of it applies to Windows too from what I can tell. It’ll probably be obvious which bits - where you set the paths in the settings json and stuff like that. I hope you find it helpful :)
In base R, we can filter rows where a column is between two values using bracket notation or the subset() function along with logical operators like >=, <=, &, and !. The key is creating a logical test that checks if values are within our desired range.
For example, to filter rows where the column "value" is between 5 and 8
TIL @hrbrmstr ‘s handle is read aloud as “Harbour master”, or can be. Which is definitely better than what I’ve been saying in my head the past 18 months, “Herbert hamster” 🐹 🥲 https://fosstodon.org/@josi/112388541647800781
🧏 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. ---
But it’s very fast, which I can’t say for VS Code.
I’m curious why VS Code can be considered an IDE for R but Neovim can’t, considering both need extensions/plugins to become more than a text editor?? (2/2)
@almenal99@Drmowinckels I’m getting into Neovim at the moment and think, after extensive experience with RStudio and VS Code, that I disagree on its status as IDE! 😝 Especially compared to VS Code I think it’s super promising - it can look incredibly beautiful, great plugins for file trees, syntax highlighting, linting, project search, git integrations. I’m not sure where it stands on the data viewer front. (1/2)
@ramikrispin Wait wait wait… REDUCED? And that’s a huge difference btw 😵. I thought adding steps was supposed to increase the image size. What kind of magic have you used to achieve this?
