Last week I introduced a new bookdown series on how to embed R into a macOS Swift application. The initial chapters focused on core concepts and showed how to build a macOS compiled, binary command line application that uses embedded R for some functionality. This week, a new chapter is up that walks you though… Continue reading
Nos Autem Non In Antebellum; Bella Iam Inceperat
(Leading this with the periodic warning/reminder that this blog occasionally breaks from technical content and has category-based RSS feeds which can be used to ensure one never see non-technical content.) Every decent human (which excludes 74,222,958 🇺🇸 who voted for this, now 100% undeniable, traitor) with knowledge of this past week’s tragic events is likely… Continue reading
Safety Checking Locally Installed Package URLs
I went completely daft this week and broke my months-long Twitter break due to the domestic terror event in my nation’s capitol. I’ll likely be resuming the break starting today. Whilst keeping up with the final descent of the U.S. into a fully failed state, I also noticed that a debate from months ago on… Continue reading
Bringing R to Swift on macOS
Over Christmas break I teased some screencaps: A more refined #rstats #swift "SwiftR" example. Simple Image view + some text views, a color picker and a button that runs R-in-Swift code (like {reticulate} does for Python in R) Note no ssd/hd storage round-trip for the plot. Code snippet: https://t.co/fWaHnztUgd pic.twitter.com/y5m1I16tCB — Caliban's War (@hrbrmstr) December… Continue reading
Updated Apache Drill R JDBC Interface Package {sergeant.caffeinated} With {dbplyr} 2.x Compatibility
While the future of the Apache Drill ecosystem is somewhat in-play (MapR — a major sponsoring org for the project — is kinda dead), I still use it almost daily (on my local home office cluster) to avoid handing over any more money to Amazon than I/we already do. The latest (yet-to-be-released) v1.18.0 has some… Continue reading
Apple Silicon + Big Sur + RStudio + R Field Report
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything R-related and, while this one will be brief, it may be of use to some R folks who have taken the leap into Big Sur and/or Apple Silicon. Stay to the end for an early Christmas 🎁! Big Sur Report As #rstats + #macOS Twitter-folks know (before… Continue reading
It’s [Almost] Over; Much Damage Has Been Done; But I [We] Have A Call To Unexpected Action
NOTE: There’s a unique feed URL for R/tech stuff — https://rud.is/b/category/r/feed/. If you hit the generic “subscribe” button b/c the vast majority of posts have been on that, this isn’t one of those posts and you should probably delete it and move on with more important things than the rantings of silly man with a… Continue reading
Short & Sweet: {cdcfluview} 0.9.2 Is On Its Way to CRAN Mirrors
The CDC continues to “deliver” in 2020, this time by changing the JSON response of one of the hidden APIs that my {cdcfluview} package wraps. CDC: So helpful! It was a quick fix, and version 0.9.2 passed automated CRAN checks in ~9.42 minutes! 💙 the CRAN team! Plus, a special shout-out to Ian-McGovern (GH ID)… Continue reading
