Output of dex_sentence function. "Elegant shellder uses wrap greedily" "Well-documented golbat uses lovely kiss sedately" "Old-fashioned gyarados uses disable cautiously" "Impressionable gastly uses lovely kiss scarily" "Tidy graveler uses amnesia questionably"

If you are in need of memorable/human readable uuids, may I suggest {{dexid}}, an #rstats package that creates ids from adjectives and pokemons? 😀

We are currently developing a new interactive network viz package based on the JS engine G6. So many cool features to come! Checkout the current status on github github.com/cynkra/g6r #rstats

Super grateful to have received an R Consortium grant to keep working on improving igraph! Our goal is to work on the interface between the c core and the r package. To date it is still too tedious to integrate new features seamlessly. r-consortium.org/posts/r-cons... #rstats cc @masalmon.eu

A simple plumber api that reads and writes parquet files: # plumber.R library(plumber) library(nanoparquet) # To read Parquet files #* @apiTitle Parquet File Upload API #* Upload a Parquet file #* @param req:file The request object #* @post /upload_parquet function(req) { # Access the uploaded file from the request multipart <- mime::parse_multipart(req) fp <- multipart$file$datapath data <- nanoparquet::read_parquet(fp) resp <- data.frame( status = "success", n_rows = nrow(data), n_cols = ncol(data), columns = names(data) ) tmp <- tempfile(fileext = "parquet") nanoparquet::write_parquet(resp, tmp) on.exit(unlink(tmp)) readBin(tmp, "raw", n = file.info(tmp)$size) }

#Rstats hivemind: what is the correct way for a plumber API to read/write parquet files? I did not get `parser_parquet()` to work properly (and would rather have nanoparquet anyway) so this kind of works but I am unsure if thats ok 🙈

Merging an 8 year old PR must be some sort of record 😅

New version of rchroma is now available! The #Rstats pkg wraps the API of ChromaDB, an open-source AI-native database that makes it easy to store, search, and retrieve vector embeddings alongside metadata. Perfect for building RAGs!

It is now much easier to run the container and save db tables.

#RStats

It is not a rigorous benchmark, but I was curious on how #duckdb duckplyr compares to other data wrangling packages in #Rstats. Turns out, it is pretty pretty fast 🚀.

If you're an #RStats {igraph} user, please update your codebase according to deprecation messages. We try to make changes for the best. 😉

Not sure if this already exist, but I created a #quartopub filter which adds a domain preview to each link in a quarto html document. Might come in handy for accessibility.

@christophsax.bsky.social and I wrote an #rstats package for ChromaDB which is now available on CRAN🎉🎉🎉

ChromaDB is an open-source vector database designed for efficient similarity search—great for working with LLM applications like RAGs!

Continuing the #Rust exploration in #RStats. Of course there is (r)polars to work with data frames in Rust but I was interested in how to create data frames "from scratch". Thanks to macros, it is actually pretty simple🙂

Getting back on the #Rust train and how to use it in #RStats.
Currently I am trying to understand how to work with non-vector inputs and returns. I wrote down some experiments in a blog post

New Year, new career. Yesterday was my last day as an academic. Now it is time for the "Real World".

Last year December I created my first #QuartoPub dashboard for a "GitHub Wrapped". Still works like a charm 😁 #rstats

#AdventofCode Day 07 in #Rstats
Yes this was again solvable with eval parse. Was that efficient? hell no! but doing left to right execution by inserting parentheses in a string is a 9000IQ move, I'd say

#AdventofCode Day 04 in #Rstats

Me leaving has nothing to do with the position I had, but just with academia in general. I am tired of it. Now it is time for a completely new chapter and I am super excited that this new chapter is gonna be full time #rstats at cynkra 😍 (2/2)

Not sure how many #academics are following me here, but here is a great opportunity to lead an awesome team of people in CSS at GESIS.

This is actually my position, because I will be leaving academia at the end of the year (1/2)

Starting #AdventOfCode on Day 03 with #RStats 🙂
I think it took me like a second to scream EVAL PARSE!!!
One of my favorite concepts in R 😆

Data Imaginist - A bunch of giraffes, all bundled up ggraph 2.2.0 has been released. This was definitely not supposed to be a feature release, yet here we are…

ggraph 2.2.0 is out🎉🎉

Now with stronger support for spatial networks and various edge bundling techniques #rstats
