@lukasjung @josi thanks Lukas! I’m going through some chapters in Advanced R and and some vignettes in #dplyr! Will definitely check out your recommendation with #rlang docs :)

I have quite a lot more followers than I did when I first wrote my introduction, so it’s only fair that I’m writing a new one, bump up the major version.

Hi! o/

I am Ștefan (ș as sh, I also accept Stephan or the equivalent in your language). I’m 21 years old, ♑, he/him, proud #leftist and soon to graduate CS @ UVABc. Sort of proudly living in #romania. My native language is Romanian, fairly proficient at English, slowly learning #finnish (and #italian).

Tried a lot of programming languages in my childhood up until now, a non-chronological list of ones that stuck with me for one reason or another being: VB6 (that’s what I started on at 8 years old), #pascal (+ #freepascal and #delphi), #perl (+ #raku), #tcl #tcltk, #lisp (usually #scheme, on a good day #elisp #emacslisp and #commonlisp), #elixir, #php, #forth, #lua, #oberon, #modula-2, #cpp #c++, #ocaml, #fsharp, #smalltalk (+ #squeak #pharo #self), #ada, #powershell, #dart, #matlab, #rlang, #zig, #nim, #cobol and #julia. I don’t claim full proficiency in all of these, but I’m familiar enough with these (+ some others not mentioned here) that I could get along just fine with 2 weeks at most of studying and looking through cookbooks and examples). I’m flexible in learning new languages and technologies if needed.

I also do #sudoku and #math for fun (especially functional equations and number theory problems, sometimes calculus and geometric algebra). I am interested in #linguists, #conlangs (#lojban and #esperanto) and #nlp, contemporary (post-‘45, usually post-‘89 for me) history, #balkan history, lower-level stuff (I like to learn about how tools around me work, I’m most interested in #compilers, #emulators and #microcontrollers), #typography and #latex, #linux + #bsd, #msdos, #amiga, #oberon, #plan9, #philosophy, #astronomy (especially in a worldbuilding context) and #philosophy, along with other less notable interests.

I engage in #politics relatively often irl, although I’m not inserting it in absolutely every scenario in my life. As I mentioned, I’m a #leftist and #progressive (or… um… #woke) (Nazis and fascists can have a merry fuck off, DNI with me). I am also a spiritual person, a #deist (if you really want to put it that way, an agnostic, although it’s not quite true) and I find #astrology and #tarot interesting (I’ll let you guess my moon and ascendant, let’s see how close you are).

With that being said, I hope I’m welcome here, you can pick your subset of things that interest you from this list, you have plenty of options. :P Quite a bit longer than last time, but oh well…

This is wonderful - #rlang and #python color palette based off artworks at the Met. I'd love to see some Korean pieces there too #museum #dataviz

I've started using #quarto to write my notes/articles. Here's my setup:

1. I create a new note in my #obsidian vault. Obsidian is where I keep all my notes, to-dos, reminders.

2. I then create a symlink of that file into my R project folder, changing the file extension to .qmd.

3. I can now run #rlang, add ggplot charts and render to Word from RStudio; but I can also see my to-dos and sync with my phone (via https://github.com/nicucalcea/obsidian-tasks-todo-txt). Any changes immediately show in both.

In 2021, the INSEE (public institute for stats of France) and ThinkR (French stats company) teamed up to create a serious game with #solarus. 📊📈

@justinwilkins @dlakelan Here''s my recent submission to PSP, with the Julia code exposed. Judge for yourself Justin whether what I accomplished with #JuliaLang here could have been done so easily with #Rlang, or by any other means! https://osf.io/4xbea

The most important thing I want to say about my previous post with the water droplet #experiment is that fairly deep #science questions are pretty much all around us. There is no reason from 6th grade onwards that kids can't actually DO real experiments and analyze real data and test real models. Kids have Chromebooks that would blow a 1980s Cray out of the water, and free software like #julialang or #rlang can run on cloud computers with #jupyter. Experimental apparatus ...cont

#openapi #generator v6.4.0 released with bug fixes and enhancements covering 10 programming languages: #java #kotlin #javascript #python #rlang #ruby #rust #golang #dart #csharp.

@barubary @Edent Or #PCRE, the Perl Compatible* Regular Expression engine, Which is used by #PHP and #Rlang as well as the #Apache and #nginx HTTP servers, #nmap, #Postfix, and #Exim (for which it was originally written).

You can even make your #Perl compatible with PCRE instead of other Perl, but you should have a good reason (performance mostly): https://metacpan.org/pod/re::engine::PCRE2

* PCRE2’s own documentation highlights nineteen separate significant differences: https://www.pcre.org/current/doc/html/pcre2compat.html

Discovered that @LukeTierney4 of the core #RLang team previously created something called XLISP-STAT that is undergoing a revival as Lisp-Stat. https://lisp-stat.dev/about/ #lisp

An ultra-Heywood case was detected

Sounds awesome, is probably boring to fix. #Statistics #Rlang

It can't be anything other than #rlang (or S if it's really old):

___ <- _____
___ <- ______________

What is the most important according to different programming languages:
#golang - simplicity
#lisp - flexibility
#erlang - fault tolerance
#rlang - the ability to vectorize things
#haskell - correctness
#julia - solving the two-language problem
#rust - memory management
#lua - minimalism
#javascript - universality

And while I really understand that someone working alone, writing code for themselves, doesn't bother with typing etc., ends up picking either #rlang or #python for their scientific coding, I need to take into account that people with junior coding skills will work in my team. That's why it's either python with all this extra constraints, or #julialang ... (I don't even consider R for a team)

@philosoraptor we looked at frequencies between 1-20 Hz. I guess you could extend that, if you have equipment sensitive enough (also, with a precise enough time-measurement...)

We looked at phase per frequency.
Chunking in epochs, you mean, over time? I guess it depends a bit on what you are doing. And it's probably also a bit arbitrary...

I wrote some #rlang code to analyse it, maybe I can still find the code 🤔

Happy to announce that dfdr is now on CRAN 😊 enables R user to calculate derivatives of functions.
Originally the code was written by Thomas Mailund. Recently I have extended the package and took over the maintainer role.

Should I make my own #Rlang #Shiny app?

If you answer "definitely", I'm up for ideas on what to write. I support shiny server in my dayjob but have never actually written my own shiny app before.

@theDuesentrieb I also work a lot with #Rlang, but I wouldn't say that I dislike it nor do I find it particularly comfortable.
