@antoine_fabri Has anyone tried a CRAN submission with this? Thank you for your service.

#rstats I made {dir} more robust (R packages with nested folders without code duplication), you're welcome to try to break it and report! Now if you just want subfolders under R you simply call `dir::use_dir_package(patch = TRUE)` once and you're set. github.com/cynkra/dir

@antoine_fabri Maybe try it with positron?

Maybe I didn't looked well enough but I haven't found an option in styler to break the calls and try to use a 40 char width max for example

#rstats experimenting with 2D code 🤔

@antoine_fabri Are you able to add folders within the R folder?

#rstats {dir} allows you to store the code of your package in a nested folder structure, rather than solely in the “R” folder. You just add one line to your .onLoad() and you're all set. github.com/cynkra/dir

@antoine_fabri There are gold badges and then there are gold badges.

That made me think, maybe the list of gold badges we have now is the definitive one ? We're 242. It probably won't go over 250. Among those most of my R teachers, and some students like me that I've seen progress by my side. stackoverflow.com/help/badges/20…

I wonder if #stackoverflow has a future. People use LLMs now of course. There are still a couple of #rstats questions per hour though, usually less fun for my taste. I've really enjoyed trying to find elegant answers to data questions. I've learnt R this way in great part.

New HTML Table to DataFrame Converter Tool! Copy a table from the web, paste it once, and get ready-to-use code for #python, #rstats, or #julialang. Supports Pandas, Tidyverse, Polars & more. Perfect for data analysts who hate manual data entry! 🔗 web-apps.thecoatlessprofessor.com/data/html-tabl…

@timthielmann Absolutely unhinged that you would consider using the Notwithstanding clause for this.

Candidate profiles for Victoria-Beacon Hill were published in the Times Colonist today. Here's mine: Political party: How long have you been a member? One year Do you live in the riding, and if so, for how long? If not, what is your connection to the riding? Yes, I’ve lived in Victoria-Beacon Hill for nearly 20 years. What is your occupation, and for how long? I have practiced as a lawyer for 15 years, and have helped First Nations clients win landmark victories inside and outside of the courtroom on everything from recovering endangered caribou to advancing economic prosperity. What do you believe is the biggest issue facing your community and why? Safety. Most people no longer feel safe walking downtown. Untreated drug addiction and mental illness fuel crime and leave hundreds suffering on our streets. The NDP and the Greens both believe that the solution to the drug crisis is to make it even easier to use hard drugs. We believe in recovery. BC Conservatives will transform drug consumption sites into recovery centres. We will care for those who can’t care for themselves, including by providing involuntary drug treatment and care, using the Notwithstanding Clause in the Charter if needed. We will fairly enforce the laws that protect us all. What actions or efforts have you taken to learn the concerns of your constituents? I began door-knocking in January and have now knocked on virtually every accessible door in the riding at least once, and many of them twice. We have had thousands of conversations about safety, healthcare, the cost of living, and many other issues. I’ve hosted a town hall on community safety, several meet and greets open to the public, and special events with a range of groups including young professionals, seniors, local business owners, and doctors. We respond promptly to emails and keep our replies open on social media to allow every constituent an opportunity to be heard. What do you want to see improved in British Columbia in four, eight and 20 years? Today, Victoria is one of the easiest places in Canada to use drugs. I want Victoria to become the recovery capital of Canada. Over the last seven years, annual fatalities from illicit drugs have doubled. With a recovery-oriented approach, I believe we can reverse this trend and reduce annual fatalities by at least 50% within 4 years. We need more detox beds (now only 21 on the south Island), more treatment programs like New Roads (65% success rate, costing only $70,000 per person), and more dry housing for those exiting recovery (, BC Housing has none). How would you go about addressing contentious issues within your riding? I “left the left” because it has become increasingly uninterested in viewpoint diversity. Current MLA Grace Lore bans replies to her own social media posts on contentious issues like gender ideology. She has even supported activists that call for violence against people opposed to child transitions. As a lawyer, I value our tradition of civil debate. I actively seek out the views of people I disagree with. The freedom to disagree is fundamental to scientific inquiry and to our democracy. It’s how we make informed decisions. It’s how we correct for errors and unintended consequences. It’s how we progress. Would you vote against your party and leader if it were best for your constituents? Yes. When I first met with John Rustad in August of 2023, he said that I would be encouraged to speak first to local issues, that I could express party positions in my own terms, and that the party be provided advanced notice if I needed to take a contrary position. Why elect an MLA if all they can do is follow party talking points? Your MLA should be more than a barking seal. If you want an MLA who will champion Victoria’s interests inside the party and out, I am your candidate. Why do you think you are qualified to do this job? As a lawyer for First Nations, I spent 15 years fighting to protect the environment and advance prosperity. We won landmark agreements in court. Signed historic governmental and economic agreements. I learned how to navigate the bureaucracy, listen to people on the ground, weigh expert opinions, and to speak important truths even when it wasn’t always popular. We got things done. It’s what we need now in Victoria. If elected, I’ll be an effective advocate for every constituent. I will fight for historic change to improve the safety, health, and prosperity of this city. Why are you running – what’s your motivation? We’ve tried seven years of NDP policies and they just haven’t worked. I’m a married father of two young girls, and nothing is more important to me than their future. I put my law practice on hold for the better part of the last year because I believe we need good people from across the political spectrum to join together to bring change to Victoria. Instead of more drugs, investments in recovery and treatment. An overhaul of B.C.’s collapsing healthcare system. A more productive economy that rewards hard work and gives young people a hope of home ownership. timescolonist.com/2024-bc-votes/…

@EconMaett @JosiahParry “Hate” seems like a very strong word here.

After 1 year at Voltron Data, I found myself along with my teammates and 50+ people in need of a job I have plenty experience building OSS Python data tools, presenting at conferences and OS community management. If you think I'd be a good fit for a job please let me know

@JonFlynnREstats When is the peak?

As requested % change from the peak for various areas/regions across Canada. If your area isn't included it's because the local board didn't provide timely or relevant data like the rest.

@mim_djo quarto + observable plot

asking for a friend, what's hot these days for interactive visualization in a #Python notebook, I personally used Altair , I like streamlit but it does not work in a notebook ? any library you like

@historyrock_ A woman.

Who’s missing? 👇🏻

@JeffMarek Marek v Wyshynski. Bring it back!

Firstly, thanks for the outpouring of kinds words on Twitter/X. It really means the world to me.

@KrugSpencer But, but a Victoria show…?

@axiomsofxyz Website drafting mode???

By the way, did you know that #quarto v1.5 was released yesterday with a native #julia engine, better #typst support, and a new website drafting mode? @cscheid/112713587893519277" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">fosstodon.org/@cscheid/11271…

@ColinPlant2022 @crd_bc Is amalgamation a topic being discussed?

Looking forward to joining 50+ #yyjpoli leaders to attend a workshop Friday to discuss the concept and requirements to develop a successful @crd_bc regional transportation service. Our first step is agreeing on key values and benefits for the region AND each jurisdiction. 1/2

@kdpsinghlab @miguelraz_ @Gaspardelanoche And observable too!

@miguelraz_ @Gaspardelanoche If you have pre-rendered Jupyter notebooks, Quarto can also use those, so it’s not an either/or situation

@JosiahParry @statsinthewild0 Fair. But lacking that, the JOSS article is at least a good way to give credit.

@statsinthewild0 @JosiahParry I’m confused. There is this peer reviewed and citable from this: joss.theoj.org/papers/10.2110… Also I’m sure you can retrieve this via citation(“tidyverse”).

@JosiahParry What's so crazy about ggolot and the entire tidyverse is that there is no way to get credit for it in academics. And it's academic's fault. It's the most influential thing anyone has done in statistics in the last 25 years.

@RandVegan Put it in on.exit so that you function will always close the connection even if it errors.

Can any #rstats users who are familiar with dbplyr or DBI package help me understand why it’s important to disconnect the connection? Or when in my script I should do it? I read that’s important but I’m a but confused when to do it or why it matters

@ScottOake where are we meeting up once After Hours is done?
