Alright class, #rstats #dataabs, a question, and this will be on your exam:
Code quality, in particular readability, and the management of complexity is *much* more important in data analysis than software engineering in general. Why?
Hey all, I decided to write up some of my thoughts in more detail about why I don't vibe code, in case it's interesting to any of you

We’ve completed our second season with chimaera tagging! And we caught something very cool 👀🦈 Curious about what? Find out here www.bergentelemetry.com/post/trackin...

Most isotope users were never formally trained in isotope ecology.
They learned just enough to get by.
That gap shows up later — usually during interpretation.
That’s exactly what my course is designed to fix.
Should add that the original ideas around this workflow came from this blog post - I just adapt it all and threw it into containers.

Thanks, I’m glad to hear it sounds sensible. This also deploys a shiny app on a shiny-server. The site is still in development with some functionality issues and modules needing to be cleaned up ect but yes please feel free to explore. github.com/benjaminhlin...
I’ve found this works quite well if I need to move things to a different server or
makes provisioning simple. All you have to get on the droplet is docker
Out of curiosity what are you hosting on DO? I’ve done the same but use the following workflow with several docker containers 1) the site which a GHA builds to a GHCR and 2) nginx w/certbot. I then have GHA that gets triggered once both containers are built with composer to deploy to the droplet.
Similar concept - I needed to know water temp profiles in Lake Ontario for a project so I built aton (alewife telemetry Ontario). It uses a quarto pub yaml as cron job. The cron job runs twice a day and pulls the newest netcdf file from a NOAA repository. benjaminhlina.github.io/aton/
Not data but someone I know made a wire baby blankets (they weave and knit cooper wire into art) with hallow point bullets weaved into every other square. Pretty striking piece on gun violence.

When you react to something with an emotional response u give away ur power and u continue to do so. Learn not to do that, it will serve u better in the long run. I would react similarly, therapy, meditation, nature, and physical activity helped me not react. I hope you can find that for yourself.
Given the recent spicy #rstats threads, an important reminder:
There's no single right way to code
If it works for you, that's all that matters really
Be good to your fellow coders

Here's my take on a Linux wrapper for Innovasea's Fathom Connect software. Seems to work fine on Ubuntu 24.04 for converting vdat files to csv.

Shout out to @obrien.page for discovering that Fathom Connect works in wine.

Yep very much so
Sonatonics and Innovasea both mentioned iOS development being difficult and have opted to android over iOS.
Yea that is the plan here - is most ppl are just going to use R to docker if they're on something other than windows...completely agree on insulating the user from worrying about wine versions...as that's a headache as we've seen
Maybe but they do seem to be pretty tight not really giving much more
yep I couldn't agree more!
fathom central, and run the shell script and then rvdat on mac and linux would run in R using the docker container. Not sure if you're looking for an R solution or straight cli, regardless this is close
@rtbecard.bsky.social do you want/need the ability to run the full suite or just vdat? I was close in Nov to having this wrapped up and then needed to switch to another project. I need to close the loop on this but I was close to having where the user just needs to pull the docker container,
I was just at GLATOS and they had panel with Innovasea, Lotek, Sonictronic, and Thelma and I asked if any of them would be making their software platform agnostic besides internet based solutions and they all responded no with R&D being put into hardware (i.e., tags/receivers ect.)
FYI for those that want work with this person @john-coene.com
FYI for those that want to work this person.
Should clarify rvdat that is…if you don’t need it the FC GUI this works quite well.
You’re right I don’t have high uptake and that’s fine by me…I build things as a trained fish and aquatic scientist who codes to answers the questions I have. If others find it useful in my field then cool if not cool I don’t care. Obviously you do…
I remember having notes on it but can’t remember
Funny how I say the same thing and get blasted
I’m not sure how commented on something that AI wrote not even yourself has made you so mad.
