Git and GitHub are key tools for sharing your work reproducibility and the greater good ๐ฑ However they are often seen as too 'hardcore' or developer-focussed to be used by researchers and data analysts. That's a misconception! Great vid to get started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dd7KRpKeaE
@luis_de_sousa@Codeberg good to see. Anyone using Codeburg as main platform for reproductive data science work? Would like to see example repos. GitHub lock in is a thing..
I've been using Quarto for over a year now and I fully endorse it for technical writing, a game changer that can help get your work out there ๐ If you're new to this space and want to get involved I highly recommend this as a starting point: https://youtu.be/_f3latmOhew?si=VxcMut5INSgK4pyP#DataScience
Request for testing/comment: can any #rstats users out there give the #wip {styler.equals} package a spin and kick its metaphorical tires ๐ฒ ? Install with remotes::install_github("robinlovelace/styler.equals") and see more at https://github.com/Robinlovelace/styler.equals Especially for those who prefer typing = over <- due to laziness or any other reason! Not intending to start a flame war ๐ฅ arrows are great too โฌ ๏ธ Any comments/suggestions welcome ๐ #rspatial#DataScience#style
So many rewarding things about building in the open. One of the biggest is the sense of "Wow I did it" you feel when new contributors get involved. I remember the first time I contributed to an open source project and it felt amazing, built by the community, for the community.
Request for help from anyone with #rstats package development experience or knowledge of time data, especially if you've worked with .ical files before: checks failing in the {calendar} package preventing updated on CRAN and I'm not sure why ๐คท . Thanks to new contributors for reviving this package after ~5 years dev hiatus! Please spread the word @rOpenSci and anyone in this #foss for #DataScience (or at least dates) space! Details: https://github.com/ATFutures/calendar/issues/50
@robinlovelace Timezone issue? Away from computer but try setting a different timezone and rerunning the tests locally. That can often highlight logical errors when working with packages involving dates. Something like
TZ=NZ R CMD check
Or maybe TZ=AT which might match Vienna. Possibly sending you on wild goose chase but worth a try โฆ
@robinlovelace ooo, I've been wanting something like the {calendar} package! It's perfect for integrating into my project management template with its NSF grant boilerplate. Nice.
Excited to announce the release of {stplanr} v1.2.0, on CRAN and beyond ๐
Key feature: new implementation of rnet_join(), allowing fast+flexible merging of route network datasets, leveraging {rsgeo} which has a fast (~1000x faster than {lwgeom}) #RustLang backend ๐ฅ
In fact, {stplanr} is the first package to build on {rsgeo} of packages in the main #rstats package repository. Won't be the last I suspect (and nudge re releasing a new version Josiah ; ) https://cran.r-project.org/package=rsgeo
I'll be presenting on the #OpenScience Cycle Route Uptake and Scenario Estimation (CRUSE) tool for Ireland at the the TRA conference this afternoon, 17:45 session. If you cannot make it in person, you can give it a spin here: https://cruse.bike/#OpenAccess#TransportPlanning
Just delivered the 'networkmerge' talk at #GISRUK 2024 on behalf of the team ๐ Great event, excellent questions and follow-up possibilities (for improving GPS data aggregation and pedestrian analysis), stoked to get this out there. Slides + code: https://buff.ly/43Y4KM1
Building "protected" cycleways parallel to roads that save people from mixing with motor traffic is one thing. Building cycleways that are far from roads is quite another. Cycleways at least 10 m from roads in central Leeds below, we have a long way to go.
This is one of the best descriptions of the benefits of switching from non-reproducible WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get ) writing software e.g. Word ๐ to reproducible plain text formats like LaTeX or better Quarto. Credit: Joel Schneider and his APA template https://buff.ly/3TRz0Uk
This is very cool: new interactive map showing travel times to key destinations, and combinations of different destinations by mode. Simple yet powerful, and should be straightforward to reproduce in other places.
Update on the Network Generation Hackathon, mission accomplished. We all got od2net running, explored new ideas, and ported the setup script into a new language #RStats which can be found in this merged PR: https://buff.ly/48EAaI1 Massive thanks to everyone involved.
Looking forward to the Network Generation Hackathon tomorrow in the Alan Turing Institute ๐ For anyone interested in reproducible transport network generation, processing and modelling with open source software this could be of interest, still opportunities to attend online: https://buff.ly/3SUZSm3
