Happy to announce β¨quarto-revealjs-editableβ¨
This fully supersedes the imagemover extension, as I back then didn't realize the potential. You can now also move, resize, change font size and alignment for text in your slides

Has anybody come up with a solution to this problem: you have a perfectly reproducible analysis pipeline that produces beautiful dynamic reports. But once you bring on even one collaborator things immediately devolve into email-attached word documents named manuscript_finalFinal_2.docx #rstats

Oh, thatβs a good idea. I am just afraid, that it will be biased towards R as it prevails it academia

Cumulative graph of Python- and R-tagged questions on the gis.stackexchange.com
expanding the idea suggested on mastodon, I analysed the number of questions posted on gis.stackexchange.com over the past decade, focusing on the most popular geospatial libraries in #rstats and #python. The cumsum of daily questions suggests a draw.

I am currently writing a grant proposal and as a researcher by nature got really curious. My impression that it's R β but I am biased and work mostly within "R information bubble"

A plot showing google hits for ` Python spatial `, ` R spatial `, ` Python geospatial `, ` R geospatial ` keywords since 2015 to present
Which language serves as the geospatial lingua franca β #pythonor #rstats? A quick look at Google Trends suggests R, but thatβs a rather simplistic comparison. Has anyone come across a more in-depth study on the most popular languages for spatial analysis?

I know I'm biased, but maaaan, Formalist and Air work so well together in the latest Positron update.
Dear #rstats, you should give Positron a try.

It still bugs me that nrow() in #RStats is called nrow() and not nrows(). I type it wrong every time.

Noice! Do you have any suggestions for naming columns in a dataframe?
I tried using PascalCase for column names to differentiate them from snake_case objects, functions, and variables. However, I keep forgetting to follow my convention π

I was working with big data recently and found that Polars is faster than a DuckDB-based approach. Thanks to {tidypolars} you can use {tidyverse} syntax as well. However, if you are working with a medium-sized CSV like this (only 20K rows), {data.table} may still be faster but it loads csv in memory

Open csv in R using duckdb and arrow using dataset from https://josiahparry.com/posts/2024-05-24-duckdb-and-r
Finally got to my laptop and realized I made a mistake. The arrow command is actually open_csv_dataset(). Here is the reprex. Both examples do not load the entire CSV into R, but if your CSV is enormous, it may be beneficial to create an on-disk DuckDB.
