File import/export in R is simple and elegant with the {rio} 📦. It uses just 2 main functions for dozens of file types: import() and export(). Whether .zip, .xlsx, Google sheets, json, .rds, .csv or more, rio handles file-extension checks and selecting the right functions.

There's also a convert() function.
One of my favorite R packages!

@jmcastagnetto @smach @rstats Probably @chainsawriot can say more, but rio uses data.table::fread for csv files which should be quite robust. You do not by any chance have a file at hand that is problematic with rio? We'd be happy to look at it

While readr does read everything, it does it wrongly. the problem is row 87870 where readr does assign the wrong values to the wrong columns. I would argue that the fread approach to through an error is better so that one is forced to fix the row manually.

Hello ,
can someone explain this behavior? I am very very very confused about this

My bucket list for 2024 includes learning . Obviously to wrap it in packages. So here is my first experiment:

https://github.com/schochastics/dialrs

dialrs uses the crate phonenumber to parse phone numbers in R. how exciting!

Pinto et al. 2018 found that 53% of the respondents to their survey on how scientists develop software with R works alone, and 42% developed software within a team of two to five.

Do we have more update data on this topic? @rstats

I will be grateful for pointers 🙏

I created a dashboard template for your own personal "GitHub Wrapped 2023" 🚀

get it here: https://github.com/schochastics/github_wrapped
and make sure to use it with quarto .1.4.0

Just wrapped devicons (https://devicon.dev) into a extension:

just in case you are in need for icons representing programming languages (I think is actually missing 🤷‍♂️)

If for whatever reason you need a fast way to write png files in , I wrapped fpng (https://github.com/richgel999/fpng) into a simple package (https://github.com/schochastics/RFPNG). Havent fully understood the technical details of this new type of png format, but if you are interested, here is an interesting blogpost on the format: http://richg42.blogspot.com/2023/12/announcing-cpng-compatible-network.html

A new version of the pkg adaR, a fast URL parser, hit CRAN. It now has several helper functions to change and clear components of a URL.

New package for fast and accurate URL parsing just hit CRAN.

📜 blog: http://blog.schochastics.net/post/adar-an-accurate-fast-and-whatwg-compliant-url-parser/

📦 :https://github.com/schochastics/adaR/

h/t @chainsawriot for his work on the package. He also wrote an excellent post on the dev process: https://chainsawriot.com/postmannheim/2023/10/01/cppqa.html

ada-url is an extremely fast URL parser written in C++ and I cannot believe that I managed to wrap it into an package🎉 . On first glance, it is way faster than the urltools equivalent and solves some issues with weird looking urls.
Package is super rudimentary atm and feedback+contributions are welcome!

cc @hrbrmstr I feel like this might be of interest to you?

schochastics,
@schochastics@fosstodon.org avatar

@hrbrmstr yes! Took a lot of trial and error for me though to make it communicate with R and am not sure if my approach is the best

My book is a recommended reading of a course titled "Workflows for Reproducible Research with & " from @gesistraining , see https://training.gesis.org/?site=pDetails&child=full&pID=0xBFA25C61BAA646DCB0EBAC523EBAF532
I’m having more impact on research since I left academia than when I was in academia 🤣🤣

I know.... another Quarto site post.

But it's more of a dev appreciation post. I opened a wish list request on Quarto's extension GitHub for social-share buttons. @schochastics not only delivered, but the feature was added all within the same hour of my request 🤯

Thank you David, this is EPIC. 🤩

@tanya_shapiro I have learned a lot from the material you share here and elsewhere. Glad I could pay you back a little😊

I like looking at the 📦 collaboration graph. More than 15000 developers connected by ~110,000 📦 coauthorship ties.

It also has a brilliant use case: defining the "Hadley number" (like the Bacon or Erdős Number). Eventually I will write a blog post about it, but for now, results can be found on GitHub:

So the other day I asked ChatGPT about breaking changes over the years in base R. I am very certain both of these are nonsense. But how did it come up with it?!?!?

@brodriguesco In contrast to chatGPT, this makes sense 😀
