Elio Campitelli<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.indie.host/@stragu" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>stragu</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@paocorrales" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>paocorrales</span></a></span> I played with it a while ago. It's awesome and very promising, but it has a very different user experience than regular <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RStats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RStats</span></a> use. You don't install packages from CRAN or other repos and you can't easily declare specific package versions. Instead you rely on the nix snapshots and use those as is. I need to look into it more, but unfortunately I currently do most of my work on an HPC server so I can't install nix there.</p>
Lorenzo Isella<p>Dear <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/RStats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RStats</span></a> community, can you give me inspiration (packages, materials of any kind etc....) to put together presentations about 1) R in the public sector, 2) R for data management and 3) R in the field of libraries and archiving (this last point may be tough)? Any feedback is welcome. Thanks!</p>
Olivier Leroy<p>Hello <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rstats</span></a> {targets} crew, I am excited about <a href="https://r-in-production.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">r-in-production.org/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> but so far chapter 13 is in construction. </p><p>Inspired by dbt I wanted to do something, quite trivial but that may be useful: ie building different "_targets.R" according to the git branch you are.

Henrik Sørlie<p>Are you an academic working with quantitative methods in the social sciences, on <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> ? I’m looking for recommendations for specs on a laptop, as I’m considering moving from macOS. I’m eyeballing <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://linuxrocks.online/@tuxedocomputers" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>tuxedocomputers</span></a></span> ’s product lineup. However, I’m not used to having an opinion on AMD vs Intel processors and the like. Does it matter? Also, not sure how powerful processor or how much memory my normal workflow will need on Linux, but it’s probably different from on my Mac. Normal workflow includes <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rstats</span></a> , <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.cloud/@rstudio" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>rstudio</span></a></span> , <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@zotero" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>zotero</span></a></span> , <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@libreoffice" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>libreoffice</span></a></span> and <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/@Vivaldi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Vivaldi</span></a></span> . "How much machine" do you need in order to render a manuscript in quarto reasonably fast, including "normal" analyses like SEM, composite reliability etc., or do stuff like multiple imputation? I do realise this is like asking "how long is a fish?", and I’m sorry. But any pointer or real life experience is welcome as I have absolutely no clue myself, if I need a top of the line machine or could settle for almost anything. If you're frequently annoyed at having to wait for too long while running a CFA on an n = 3000 sample I'd love to know what specs you have, for example. I do have opinions about screen size, resolution, connectivity and such though. <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>research</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AcademicChatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicChatter</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Statistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Statistics</span></a></p>

Edit: thanks for the boost and suggestions! There are very nice projects in this thread now!

I'm looking for an example of a research project hosted on GitHub. I want to show how people collaborate using issues and PR in an upcoming presentation.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Now that Spain is on the #PowerOutage news, I wrote a small #rstats package to retrieve some data from REE: ropenspain.github.io/resios/

I hope (data) newspapers like @civio will make good use of it. I get daily estimation of prices with it, so it should work for indicators 545 and 544. Let me know if there is something that doesn't work.

ropenspain.github.ioInteracts with REE and ESIOS APIProvides functions to retrieve and use easily data from Red Electrica Española (REE) the which operates the national electricity grid in Spain. The REE also provides ESIOS from electronic-"Sistema de Información del Operador del Sistema", which is also covered here.
