Digital biomedical infrastructure all around the country is built on #AWS . However, simply getting data in/out of AWS, and managing access can be difficult to navigate. This friction motivated us to build sixtyfour, an AWS interface that will feel familiar to #rstats folks. Let us (+ @sean) know what you think!

#rstats Is there an existing tool to automate a repex->rpubs pipeline? My current manual workflow is make a reprex in an .R script, copy the contents over to a .qmd, and use the publish feature in the rstudio IDE.

Sometimes my reprexes get just a tad bit more complex and requires some prose to walk through the steps. In those cases I like publishing them as almost like standalone micro blogposts.

Ex: this reprex doc I made to show how to recover ggrepel coordinates https://rpubs.com/yjunechoe/ggrepel-recover-position

[blog] Throw-back Thursday!

Two years ago @MikeMahoney218 brought waywiser to rOpenSci.
Is this a package you use? Have any usecases you'd like to share?

#rstats hivemind: would it be too funky to define a package version major.minor.patch.dev as YYYY.MM.DD.VERSION, i.e. map major to year, minor to month, patch to day, and leave the dev component for the actual version..? I'm thinking of a data package whose upstream data releases are versioned based on the date... anyone ever tried such heretic approach? Would CRAN maintainers be okay with this?! ;)

asking for a friend.

How big is a file, does it even exist?

gdalraster::vsi_stat(<file descriptor>)

vsi_stat("/vsicurl/https://projects.pawsey.org.au/idea-gebco-tif/GEBCO_2024.tif", "size")

the "file" can be anywhere, invoke any of the GDAL virtual file protocols and comprehensive configuration facilities to stat it

open it, GDAL it, seek,ingest,read,move those bytes this is a super powered package on a rich library

Finally finished the #RStats training videos, with captions and transcripts.

Video creation and editing is an almighty marathon. People who do that as a job should be paid more.

Going to have a lie down now....

In 4 days #rtweet will be archived from CRAN. Thanks to Professor Brian Ripley for delaying the process 5 days!
This will impact 6 other #rStats packages on CRAN.
