No doubt an interesting tool for someone to automate the boring stuff, but I think the problem arises when people can’t critically engage with the code that’s being offered (which is what school/training feels like it should focus on)

The thing that shocks me is how boring it must be. I enjoy problem solving/learning and it feels like this aspect of the work is being lost.

If any other R or Python people know another method, I'd love to see it!

Landed on a pretty clean way to scale a #shiny renderImage() based on the number of images needed per output.

Going to start documenting my favorite stack overflow comments. #python #rstats

This is incredibly cool

I often use if/else and then vectorize

Second this!

The reticulate hex plus the uv logo

We are delighted to announce Reticulate 1.41!

You can now simply declare your dependencies using `py_require()`, and Reticulate will handle the rest. This seamless experience is powered by uv, an extremely fast #Python package manager written in Rust.

The world is held together, really it is, held together, by the love and the passion of a very few people.

Quote I’m thinking about today

I’ve tried multiple different auth methods and messed with ~/.docker/config.json with no luck

#docker and #python people: I’m trying to spin up a docker container with cron that executes a python script. Docker seems to have difficulties authenticating non-interactively. Does anyone have experience with this?

Bon Iver is releasing a new album - ‘fABLE’ - on April 11, 2025 on @jagjaguwar.bsky.social.

One of my personal favorites

The plotnine logo, which is a UFO that is beaming up different types of plots like a histogram and a density plot.

We are excited to announce that plotnine v0.14.0 is now out!

Plotnine brings the grammar of graphics to #Python. In addition to an amazing new hex logo 🛸 , this latest release introduces a host of enhancements and features.

Check them out in the blog post: plotnine.org/blog/2024/11...

Awesome — appreciate it! Looks very promising

svg was completely blank — just a white plot area. Have not tried ragg yet! I’ll give it a shot. Thanks for the recommendation.

It’s interesting to me that the font renders with PDF as the device, but tofus appear otherwise

#rstats and #linux question.

When using ggplot / ggsave in an alpine container — plots render text when saving to pdf. When saving as any other format, all text appears as a not defined glyph. Does anyone have easy workaround for ggplot and open-source fonts?
