@jonocarroll I would have used an APL-like solution in #Uiua: ⍜∩⊥₁₀↻¯

I am extremely behind on my #Exercism practice but I'm overjoyed to hear that they've added a #Uiua track
https://exercism.org/tracks/uiua
and a #Roc track
https://exercism.org/tracks/roc
I've joined both, which should gradually appear in my tracker of which problems I've solved in which languages https://github.com/jonocarroll/exercism-solutions

I've been looking into dbt for data engineering and wanted to flesh out what the similarities and differences were to just using {targets} - I learned lots about both of them!
I wrote up my findings in this post

I'm not sure where the #user2025 discussions are happening but I'm curious about one slide in particular from @hadleywickham's talk
https://www.youtube.com/live/ctc2kx3LxG8
why the addition of 0 for each term of the multiplication? Is it to have NA values fail early? I was hoping it would be explained but not that I saw

Implementing small math problems can really help to cement your knowledge of fundamental operators...
https://jcarroll.com.au/2025/05/03/rotation-with-modulo/
I implemented a 'rotate digits with modulo' in #rstats :rstats: #julialang :julia: #apl :apl: and #uiua :uiua: and had a great time doing so!

Thanks to a very cool video from @standupmaths popping up on my feed I updated my #rstats #Exercism solution for the Sieve of Eratosthenes problem to essentially use
isprime <- function(n) {
!length(grep(r"(^.?$|^(..+?)\1+$)", strrep('!', n)))
}1: FALSE
2: TRUE
3: TRUE
4: FALSE
5: TRUE
6: FALSE
7: TRUE
8: FALSE
9: FALSE
10: FALSE
11: TRUE
12: FALSE🤩

The R/Pharma APAC track call for submissions is being extended - everyone in R and Pharma or adjacent (e.g. bioinformatics, other languages) is invited to submit a proposal for a talk.
More details: https://rinpharma.com/post/2024-07-17-apac-track/
-
R/Pharma 2024 submissions are open until the end of 21 July - the event will be held 29-31 Oct and I'm helping coordinate a virtual track suitable for Asia-Pacific time zones.
Talks are short (10-20 minutes) high energy presentations that give you the chance to talk about an interesting project that you’ve tackled with R in pharma. Short talks, or demos of your R/Python code, R/Stan/Julia packages, and shiny apps are great options.

#roclang is an interesting new(ish) language - featured on the ADSP podcast recently, with syntax reminiscent of OCaml, written in Rust.
I managed to write a FizzBuzz solution that almost exactly matches the provided example (seen after).
One thing I found curious (and hard to guess) was List.range which seems like it takes enums
https://www.roc-lang.org/builtins/List#range
so inclusive/exclusive ranges are spelled out
List.range { start: At 5, end: Before 9 }
List.range { start: After 5, end: Length 4 } -
A really interesting (in a good way) choice by #roclang to not have a true or false keyword, instead using Bool.true and Bool.false to encourage using tags ("literals" - not quite enums; perhaps Symbols from a lisp perspective) where "Boolean blindness" might otherwise be an anti-pattern.
https://www.roc-lang.org/tutorial#booleans
It's a fairly new language, but of course that means less baggage, so I'm interested.

Today's adventure in learning more programming languages (#exercism #12in23) involved trying to install a recent version of #ruby in Pop_OS which was failing due to some SSL library inconsistency, a workaround for which uninstalled my #RStudio 🤬
I abandoned 2 different install managers before finally getting one working. I have it running now, but not off to a great start.
Doing my prelim reading while I waited... "python, but with full OOP" and "parentheses are *optional*"!?!
-
I'm doing the #12in23 challenge on #exercism and I have to say it's going pretty well considering it's July... I've officially ticked off 12 languages with at least 5 exercises other than the generic 'hello, world!".
There will be a big blog post to write at the end of the year, but so far the #haskell community solutions are the most interesting/surprising to me - so much to learn about good ways to write things there.

Really interesting approach from Paul Goulart at #RustSciComp23 mixing #julia and #rust with the takeaway (paraphrased)
"Julia is great for debugging the *math* problems, Rust is great for debugging the *code* problems, and supporting both of those at once Is a lot less work than doing all of it twice"
Followed by another great talk by @mo8it highlighting the footguns and benefits of Julia (check out his blog post https://mo8it.com/blog/rust-vs-julia/)
I wasn't expecting so much Julia but I'm loving it!
-
I'm watching #RustSciComp23 for the #rust, but daaaaaang if that #fortran code doesn't look cool - simple, formula-based... everything that Fortran should be.
TBF, I had to write MPI code in Fortran90 back in the day.

#ManningBooks are having a Memorial Week Sale so if you're looking for some programming books there's plenty on offer including Beyond Spreadsheets with R https://www.manning.com/books/beyond-spreadsheets-with-r
Buying the physical book (pBook) also gets you the DRM-free digital versions.

Do you work with #benchling ELN/LIMS and wish you could query it with #rstats :rstats:? HIBio has you covered!
We've just released {benchlingapi} which connects directly to your tenant's API endpoints to get/update/add entities, notebooks, tables, IDs, etc... Completely independent of the python SDK, this is a pure R implementation.

@brodriguesco https://exercism.org/tracks/emacs-lisp - it's on my list (for practice; I do know some) towards my #12in23 goal.
I did a handful of clojure exercises already, so I already have the muscle-memory for more lisp.
-
I'm trying to do the #12in23 challenge (solve code exercises in 12 languages in 2023) on #exercism and my first foray into a new language is #clojure :clojure: (I like #lisp). I'm not sure I really want to be a beginner in a language again - this is hard work!
It wasn't mentioned in the track docs, but I did find the "thread-first" macro `->` very helpful - more or less a pipe: https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/-%3E
