I'm once again returning to some #RStats code that I keep having to set aside (and/or I get overwhelmed and choose to set it aside). Today's goal: Find an actual (~smaller than originally planned) stopping point and MERGE THIS ALREADY GAH! It's waaaaay too hard to pick this back up right now.
@Drmowinckels this is for a milestone on an ISC grant. I have a separate block of work to do before submitting the invoice, but it's finally within sight 😁
Just switched to rendering my #rstats pkg readme examples with {asciicast} to do justice to the countless hours I put into making pretty print methods with {cli} 😊😊😊
Ie. you need a configure (+ configure.win) file that creates an Rd macro on older R, that rewrites the examples with |>.
You'll also need Biarch: true in DESCRIPTION.
@gaborcsardi@sckottie I understand not using the magrittr pipe in package code, but, since the base pipe doesn't have runtime overhead, do you think it might become more prevelant in tidyverse package code after 4.5? I'm still being careful not to pipe in package code, but I'm not sure there will be a reason not to do so.
@gaborcsardi@sckottie that too. Since |> is indestinguishable from nested calls in the ast, I can imagine it being used for readability without losing maintainability nor efficiency.
I love education, and have worked in #EdTech for longer than I've been involved in #DataScience (and long before I heard of #RStats), but I don't have enough experience running workshops. If you're running an online #RStats workshop and could use a TA, I'm available! I read all the things (books/blogs/social media posts/learner questions/github repos/code) so I'm ready to answer questions, but I need more experience with the format!
Please pass this along to your networks!
@kimcressman I had a hedge in that but didn't feel like I need to get into semantics in the initial post. Right now having the experience is really valuable to me, though, so I'm willing to help out for free in situations that make sense. If I find out someone is using my free labor instead of hiring someone they were planning to pay, though, we'll definitely have words. 😊
@Drmowinckels@rOpenSci@rstats check out the bookclub-wapir channel on r4ds.io/join for the about-to-begin weekly meetup to discuss the book I'm writing, Web APIs with R (https://wapir.io). Before/as I write the book I'm writing it in slide form at https://r4ds.io/wapir!
ahhhh this is so cool! Finally decided to play with #QuartoPub dashboards (https://quarto.org/docs/dashboards/ ) and ObservableJS to automatically grab data from multiple Google Sheets and plot/show the data. No need for Shiny or anything—refreshing the page gets the latest data!
@andrew how hard was it to pick up the OJS to make this work? What prereqs did you already have covered that might make it take longer for someone else? I'm trying to decide if I should add this to my toolkit. It seems reallllllly likely, but I don't want to overcommit myself.
