Disquieting thought:

Accelerating scientific development depends on substantially slowing the rate of research paper publication.

@jonny I must say that this is quite the same than using fill() from {tidyr} in . The problem, IMHO, is not explaining this on the paper.

Sometimes, it makes sense filling missing values with neighbours. Sometimes.

@ChristosArgyrop We got it. You hate . However, your opinion is based on a poor knowledge of the ecosystem. But more important, you were irrespective to the thousands of @rstats developers to devote their time to open source software.

@ChristosArgyrop @rstats In that case, I would recommend using {renv} to create virtual environments, and {box} for importing modules and packages preserving namespace. Also {targets} for your pipelines. With this you will overpass some of the shortcomings you mentioned in your post.

We do the writing. We do the editing. We do the reviewing. We do the formatting (we typeset everything in LaTeX). We do the proofreading. We correct the mistakes introduced by proofreaders.

What do publishers do? They make us sign silly copyright forms, stamp their logo on our papers, and then proceed to charge us (either as authors or readers) ridiculous amounts.

People think academics/scientists are clever. We might be. But we are also stupid. And vain.

@jorgeapenas I believe initatives such as Open Research Europe are leading the way to a new paradigm in scientific publications.

Day 22: North is not always up. Tried a few ideas that didn't work. Then learned that NASA's Blue Marble image was originally "south pole-up" but they flipped it so people wouldn't flip out. I chose not to do that here.

Is it possible to set a code chunk in to execute only if a variable has a specific value? I am setting up parameterized reports and some code blocks are extraneous for some reports in which sets of variables have missing values.

I'm trying to integrate some public air quality data into my study. During a sanity check of the data I realized 3 of the measurement columns contain negative values! Does anyone have any idea if having negative value in such measurements is valid and how they should be interpreted?

Contacting the data manager is not as easy and might take me a week or two of emailing to get some answer. I wonder if folks here on fediverse have a quick answer.

jospueyo,
@jospueyo@fosstodon.org avatar

@Mehrad @tomstafford if all negative values are exactly -1, it can be the method to express missing values.

Found this on LinkedIn (haven't tested yet though): "Faucet is a new runtime for 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

[ | ] and/or folks:

before I rabbit hole this, is there a resource/tutorial/package out there where if I have a point on a 🇺🇸 map that I can

(a) enter a "max travel time" value (say, "45 minutes”) into a function to then get an radius for a circle overlay? i grok this will be an approximation.

(b) get the approximate population of said circular area?

Trying to build a "what if” simulator that will be FOSS.

If this exists already, def open to that too.

@hrbrmstr provides network tools to do this. Even considering the speed limits, so not a circle, as long as you provide it with a network of roads.

@hrbrmstr Maybe you can use the algorithms via API to avoid yourself programming them from scratch.

The {polars } 📦 “gives users access to a lightning fast Data Frame library written in Rust. [Its] parallel execution, cache efficient algorithms and expressive API makes it perfect for efficient data wrangling, data pipelines, snappy APIs and so much more. Polars also supports ‘streaming mode’ for out-of-memory operations. This allows users to analyze datasets many times larger than RAM.”

@smach I use polars for node.js. However, I don't see the point in with the plethora of amazing mature packages such as {dplyr}, {data.table}, {arrow}, {tidytable}, and so on. Is polars faster than data.table or arrow? Is its interface more intuitive than dplyr?

odr_k4tana, to random

Dear community, I have a problem.
I have a df with multiple char columns which I want to coerce to factors and a list of pre-defined factor level orders (vectors) that I want to apply in the process. Now apparently this isn't a wide-spread thing to do. I am using code.

My approach of
df <- df |> mutate(across(all_of(charvars), ~factor(., levels= levellist[[which(factors==cur_column())]]))
throws me an error telling me it "cant compute the first column ("who")" followed by "internal error"...backtrace attached. My problem is: I used the same approach literally 3 lines above on different subsets before and it works!

I'm stuck. Help would be very appreciated.
