Git and GitHub are key tools for sharing your work reproducibility and the greater good 🌱 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 agreed, thanks for the link and +1 to open and community led alternatives to big tech owned platforms. Anyone know if good intro tutorials and videos on codeberg? Please share if so and will boost 🚀
@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..
🔥 Thrilled to receive the MSCA Fellowship for my project, PRISM🔥
Over the next two years, I'll be based at the University of Münster, collaborating with Hanna Meyer to incorporate understanding of spatial patterns into machine learning algorithms.
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 🤷 . 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
Excited to announce the release of {stplanr} v1.2.0, on CRAN and beyond 🎉
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 🔥
Many people to thank for this release 🙏
It's been almost 8 years since {stplanr} v0.01 was released to support #DataScience tools for #Transportation planning. The first major use case was the Propensity to Cycle Tool 🚲 now publicly available at https://pct.bike
Special thanks to @josi for upstream work on {rsgeo} to support fast line splitting, needed for accurate joining of disparate linestrings. Work still underway on this, watch this space 🏗️ https://rsgeo.josiahparry.com
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'm gonna follow in the 'one geo-viz in 31 days for the "Geocomputation with R" book cover' competition, with a personal goal, 366-day mapping package challenge for {ggnorthcarolina} & {ggnc} Goal is to make a stable template & helper package for ggplot2 sf extension. Would welcome for feedback from the Geocomputation with R community! @robinlovelace@nowosadhttps://github.com/EvaMaeRey/ggnorthcarolina Hope you've gotten outstanding submissions for book cover initiative & congrats on the book!
@underdarkGIS@zverik well stplanr is more general geo processing for transport planning. Can work with osm data. Do have more on this if interested, what tools/languages are you familiar with?
@zverik@underdarkGIS ok great they're is a lot out there. Osmnx and a new od2net tool is good can send some pointers. What's your user case and what data do you have? Cc @mszll
Very happy to have submitted a paper to #GISRUK 2024 in my home city of #Leeds. It was a collaborative effort by me, ITS Leeds colleague Zhao Wang, Will Deakin from Network Rail and Josiah Parry from Esri. All open and reproducible of course thanks to Quarto template by Steph De Sabbata: https://github.com/sdesabbata/quarto-gisruk Details: watch this space!
