  1. I'm reviewing the content and computational skills taught in a Research Data Skills module.

    Apparently my knowledge of perl is pretty outdated nowadays.
    #perl #perl4datascience

    But am I crazy to want to teach them to use the *nix command line, and grep, awk and sed???

  4. #TIL about #querychat (posit-dev.github.io/querychat/), it is simply amazing to get quickly a #Shiny app that allows people to explore data using a chatbot interface. There are #Python and #RStats implementations.

  5. Turning NASA Wake-up Calls into data


    by @beet_keeper

    For a while back then I was into space flight again. Scientists, science communicators, and engineers were all excited for a new era of rocket launches and the potential unification of the human race as we look towards the future.

    During that time I discovered Colin Fries’ work in the NASA History Division to document all NASA “Wake-up calls”. A wake-up call is simply a piece of music used to wake astronauts on missions, a different piece of music, daily, for the duration of the flight.

    Take, for example, the last Space Shuttle mission (Space Transportation System) STS-135; it was in flight for 13 days, and the wake-up call on day one was Coldplay’s Viva la Vida, while on day 13 it was Kate Smith singing God Bless America.

    As a huge music buff who has the radio or music television on 18 hours a day, I really wanted to delve into this further. While Colin’s work is great, it’s just a PDF file (@wtfpdf). A PDF is not an ideal file format for querying data and gleaning new insights. So, while I wanted to explore it, I first decided to turn it into a true dataset. The result was a set of resources, a website, a JSON, a CSV, and an SQLite database which are each more functional and more maintainable over time.

    Lets take a look at the results and nasawakeupcalls.github.io below!
