After cursing at clumsy paste(...) constructs for years, why am I only now learning about the glue package? https://glue.tidyverse.org/ Byebye paste("Iteration: ", iter, ", value: ", val, sep="") Hello glue("Iteration: {iter}, value: {val}") #rstats #tidyverse

Day 14 #30DayMapChallenge - Brummie boozers 🍻 A follow up from yesterday: OpenStreetMap data showing all the pubs within 1km of the Birmingham City ground. I've had a few beers in The Rainbow and The Roost. #rstats #dataviz

I threw together a hacky first blush at creating package for the Allmaps MapLibre plugin (allmaps.org/docs/package...), now I can peruse georeferenced maps in #Rstats! github.com/mhpob/allmaps I'm a complete JS novice and using this as a foil to learn, so I will greedily accept any suggestions.

Can you see the hidden shape in this one?

About half way through @daroczig's #useR talk recording on {logger} https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R8ulz4MVm0 I was admiring how extensible it was and it struck me that it was a good fit for sending logged errors via {ntfy} - I got a working proof of […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Is there a package for defining tibble/data.frame schemas? i.e. defining a table specification that errors when invalid. I know I can manually stopifnot and co, but a boutique solution would be neat :) #rstats

Possibly weirded out my long-suffering colleagues with this idiosyncratic observation last week, and feel like it belongs in a meme. #rstats #python #ripdavidlynch

#rstats Dev Diary Oh yeah! I'm definitely loving this :) Glitched 3d rendering

#rstats Dev Diary - Glitched 3D rendering of a signed distance field This should be a stack of spheres. But it isn't. And I love it!!!!

#rstats #art using R to glitch 3d rendering This one is titled: "The ice caves of Hoth"

#rstats Living the dream! vector memory limit of 16.0 Gb reached, see mem.maxVSize()

#rstats Dev Diary - signed distance fields can be constructed from arbitrary user-supplied functions. * specified using signed distance field * marching cubes to convert to mesh * render mesh in {rayrender}

#rstats Dev Diary - meshed version of signed distance field now rendering nicely in {rayrender} ! Using the OIDN de-noising library really tidies things up! Thanks @tylermorganwall

#rstats #balls 3d object created using signed distance fields - a finite repetition of a single field. Rendered with PBRT

#rstats Dev Diary - signed distance field rendering. Balls! Finite repetition of a sphere. csg_sphere(5) |> csg_repeat_finite(x = 10, lx = 2, y = 10, ly = 1, z = 10, lz = 2)

#rstats Dev Diary - infinite spheres in a signed distance field now appear to be working. Code to create is short: scene <- csg_sphere(5) |> csg_repeat_infinite(x = 10, y = 10, z = 10) Code to render is a bit more complicated :)

Still warm from the kiln, covered in warm earth tones—I’m so relieved this piece came out successfully on the other side of firing. I worked on it over the course of a month and remembered to document moments of process which I think I’ll share in a thread […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

That's no moon! #rstats

tokenizer grew strings character by character on each loop `cur_value <- c(cur_value, s)`. sped up a 35 ms function up by 6 ms by instead tracking the starting index of the current token and then putting the sequence together when needed `cur_value <- all_char[seq(token_start, i - 1)]`

I have a string = "A,B,C, D" and I want to split the string only at the commas that are not followed by a space, e.g. [A] [B][C, D]. Help? 🥺 #RStats
