The R Packages chapter on **lifecycle** is now revised 👶 ⚰️ #rstats
Just recorded a podcast episode for @LearnBayesStats. Had lots of fun - thanks for having me on and I look forward to hearing it!
Looking forward to giving a seminar to UCL at 1pm today - thanks for the invite @Tim_P_Morris
I will be speaking on:
"Stability of clinical prediction models developed using statistical or machine learning methods"
- based on the pre-print here https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.01061
dbplyr 2.3.0 is out now: https://www.tidyverse.org/blog/2023/01/dbplyr-2-3-0/!
Thanks to the continued efforts of Maximilian Girlich many pipelines now produce much simpler SQL. We've also improved error messages, added a translation for stringr::str_like(), and added features in anticipation of dplyr 1.1.0.
When your children's age difference is such that the oldest basically stops doing this, only for the youngest to start doing exactly the same... 😂

Do I really, really hate moodle with all my soul? Yes, yes I do. 😩
I am glad our paper with A. Belot and H. Putter

Want to extract underlying data from a PDF figure, without the loss of information that comes from manual tracing tools?
Have been refining scrapR, which extracts the underlying vector geometry, to hopefully make process smoother: https://github.com/adamkucharski/scrapR

I decided to teach myself #docker. This was intended to be a little side project using containers to check #rstats packages on #archlinux and, well, it got a *tiny* bit out of hand
