Do you know of any #rstats teams who could use some help in 2025?
I'm a freelance consultant with 10yrs of experience in #DataSci, #DataEng, #DataOps, and providing #SysAdmin for related tools. I primarily work with R, but I have enough SQL and Python knowledge to get by. I know my way around a linux terminal and docker-compose file. I'm also handy as an interpreter between IT and analytics teams. Open to many types of engagements (project-based, temp staff, etc).
If you have a need or a lead, I'd love to chat!
boosts welcome :-)
I'm super excited to be giving a talk at #positconf next week!
Covid numbers in Seattle are bad right now! I'll be wearing a mask most of the time at the conf and "testing in" daily. I certainly don't want to get sick again, or bring it home, and I believe that making events safer is a shared responsibility, not a solely individual decision about risk.
You'll still know I'm smiling underneath because my eyes get all wrinkly NO THAT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE I'M OLD.
New blog post: introducing PyAURN - a Python package for accessing air quality data from the UK Automatic Urban-Rural Network: https://blog.rtwilson.com/introducing-pyaurn-a-python-package-for-accessing-uk-air-quality-data/
This was something I created ages ago for some client work, and then a few other people have expanded in various ways.
#DataSci folk: if you us Ray (AI/Python scalable compute framework) you gotta update: https://bishopfox.com/blog/ray-versions-2-6-3-2-8-0
Thinking about configuring docker based @Ollama_ai dev environments for #DataSci work. Cool stuff!

there is a reason by split-apply-combine is at the heart of data science #DataSci
Well, it might not look like much but this is the culmination of a few months of design, research and development. That's Grafana basing alert rules off dynamically generated thresholds for highly seasonal (synthetic) data, calculated on-demand using Facebook's Prophet statistical analysis package. #monitoring #forecasting #datasci #grafana #prometheus #python #adultlearning #compsci #msc
I should do a proper #introduction post.
My name is Kendra, I live in the US. I love #art #datasci #compsci #videogames #fibercrafts and other things. I post about them, #disability rights, living in a rural state, and being a parent.
I'm not always comfortable talking about my disability as it is #mentalhealth related. I was perusing an undergrad but I am taking time away from that due to life being too much. Any questions ask, I might answer.
Ooh excited about this one!
2023-02-13: CHANGES IN R-devel NEW FEATURES
"As an experimental feature the placeholder ‘_’ can now also be used in the ‘rhs’ of a forward pipe ‘|>’ expression as the first argument in an extraction call, such as ‘_$coef’. More generally, it can be used as the head of a chain of extractions, such as ‘_$coef[[2]]’."
#RStats #DataSci
I kept getting these results for some #Python at work, and now I have the #KatamariDamacy theme stuck in my head
