Table showing whether 3 Git commands can change files only, history only, both files and history. git restore can only change files, git revert can change files only (--no-commit) and both files and history (default), git reset can change the history only (--mixed, --soft) and both files and history (--hard)

Today, I gave a talk about what to replace git checkout with:

🌳 git switch to change branches
↩️ git restore to restore a file to a given state

Including demos of the commands with {saperlipopette}

TB peeps- I'm updating the (hour-long) lecture on all things TB that we give to our master's students on the Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases module @lshtm.bsky.social. Out of curiosity, what new innovation/finding/knowledge from the past year do you think the students most need to hear? Thanks!

TidyTuesday is a weekly social data project. All are welcome to participate! Please remember to share the code used to generate your results! TidyTuesday is organized by the Data Science Learning Community. Join our Slack for free online help with R and other data-related topics, or to participate in a data-related book club! How to Participate Data is posted to social media every Monday morning. Follow the instructions in the new post for how to download the data. Explore the data, watching out for interesting relationships. We would like to emphasize that you should not draw conclusions about causation in the data. Create a visualization, a model, a shiny app, or some other piece of data-science-related output, using R or another programming language. Share your output and the code used to generate it on social media with the #TidyTuesday hashtag.

A choropleth map of the contiguous United States showing maternity care access by county. Counties are classified into three categories: Maternity Care Desert (deep red), Limited Access (muted tan), and Full Access (near-white). The map reveals large contiguous regions of zero maternity care — defined as no obstetric clinicians and no birthing facilities — concentrated across the Great Plains, rural South, and parts of the Mountain West. 4 in 10 U.S. counties fall into this category, forming unbroken voids spanning hundreds of miles rather than isolated gaps. Full Access counties cluster along the coasts, in the Upper Midwest, and in metropolitan areas. Data source: HRSA Area Health Resources Files (AHRF) 2022–2023; classification adapted from March of Dimes (2024).

I'd love for community members to initiate some grassroots "class times" where people go through a course together!! Learning new skills is always better with community.

From Fragmented IDEs to One Multilingual Platform: Johnson & Johnson’s Positron Story - Posit Discover how Johnson & Johnson unified its data science workflow. Learn why they transitioned from fragmented IDEs to Positron, a multilingual platform for R and Python development.

that's not how it works.... It should be:

what() |> is() |> wrong() |> with() |> you("?")

or

you(with(wrong(is(what()))))

😆

👍

I was an opportunity scholar at #positconf in 2023, and I hope that this encourages you to apply, just like someone encouraged me to apply.

It was a life-changing chance to do something I never dreamed I could do! What have you got to lose?
