  1. It looks pretty, but this graph pretty much just shows that my targets project has gone just a little bit overboard.

    Having the option to branch out on analysis decisions is nice, but I wonder sometimes if my life would be easier if I had never heard of the option ;).

  2. "Land management categories should be disaggregated in emissions reporting and targets".
    "Targets should acknowledge the need for Geological Net Zero, meaning one tonne of CO₂ permanenty restored to the solid Earth from every tonne still generated from fossil sources."
    "By adding to cumulative emissions, any entity, country or corporation adds to the total passive carbon sink that needs protection for the foreseeable future."

  7. CW: Seeking guidance on how to organise multiple interrelated #RStats computational science projects for #ReproducibleResearch

    I am seeking guidance on how to organise multiple interrelated computational science projects, using #git, #RStats, #quarto, and #targets or #TLang

    I intend to carry out multiple, related subprojects over an extended period (years). Each subproject will involve some computational science work programmed in #RStats with the results collected in #quarto notebook(s) and written up in #quarto documents (preprints/papers). This would be orchestrated using the #targets package (docs.ropensci.org/targets/) from @landau or possibly #TLang (tstats-project.org/index.html) from @brodriguesco .

    The computational and data load for each subproject is modest, so I can reasonably run it on my laptop. I want everything I do to be #OpenScience and #ReproducibleResearch.

    If the subprojects were completely freestanding I would structure each one as a separate #RStats project with it's own #git repo. Then I would upload that project repo to an archive like Zenodo so it gets it's own DOI.
    Things get more complicated by having multiple, related subprojects. There will be some software infrastructure that is shared across subprojects and will evolve over time/subprojects. I think that should be treated as a freestanding #RStats package with a separate project and git repo. The subprojects would load the specific version of the infrastructure that they need.

    Some of the subprojects *may* import data from other subprojects. Getting the data is not a problem if all the subprojects are children of the same parent directory. The tricky part here is the orchestration (targets or TLang). This suggests to me that all the subprojects should be treated as parts of one overall project for orchestration purposes. But I believe that git repos inside other repos is a bad thing, so should there be only one git repo for the top level project (containing all the subprojects)? If so, how do I archive and publish the subprojects as individual entities?

    I intend to have a final subproject that integrates all the other subprojects. Think of it as like a thesis that reports the work done in all the other subprojects. This will *definitely* need to pull results from the other subprojects. Again, how do I structure everything so that each of the subprojects (including the final integrative subproject) can be separately archived and published?

    (My interest in TLang as an alternative to targets is because TLang uses Nix to isolate the software configuration of each computational node. Given that the subprojects may be written over years it is quite possible that each subproject will need a different software configuration.)

    Any pointers to guidance on how to configure such an extended project would be greatly appreciated.

    Firming is #GasFed #PeakGenerators right? The old #Labor : ‘we need gas to transition’ tagline to provide energy when the sun don’t shine and the wind don’t blow, etc….

    With #GenAISlop #TechBros #Datacentres favouring #GasTurbines generators, that’s leaving the door wide open for #environmental disasters and sets us up to fail in meeting our #emissions #targets (as pitiful as they are already).

  10. اللحظات الأولى للغارات #الأميركية على #إيران شهدت #انفجارات عنيفة في #طهران، حيث سمعت #أصوات #طائرات تحلق فوق #السماء و #ضربات أسقطت #صواريخ على #أهداف عسكرية في #مناطق مختلفة، مما أدى إلى #دخان كثيف يملأ #الأفق.

    The first moments of the #American #strikes on #Iran witnessed #violent #explosions in #Tehran, as #sounds of #aircraft flying over the #sky and #hits dropping #missiles on #military #targets in #various #areas were heard, leading to #heavy #smoke filling the #horizon.

  11. I have a complex #rstats #targets workflow that extracts a fixed-time (ex.: 1993-2022) #weather database from a "live" weather db that keeps on updating. To keep things simpler, I'm using git on the workflow code but NOT ON THE OUTPUT (extracted database).
    Sometimes I need to use this workflow for some different time period. And that is causing some trouble.

  13. TIL about the `debug` argument in `targets::tar_option_set` which can be used to debug pipelines without invalidation. I swear it wasn't there last time I read the documentation, but again that was a long time ago.
    *Note to self, revisit docs from time to time in fast developed tools*.
    Now I can say goodbye to the direct calls to `debug(function)` between `tar_source` and `tar_make` in `_targets.R`

  14. CW: non-productive **rant**

    You know what's funny? When connection temporarily fails in {targets} when checking the remote meta and all of a sudden an early target gets invalidated, cascading invalidations all the way down. Especially if it is a very long pipeline, let's say 25 years of meteo stations daily data (each day is a dynamic branch).
    So I think my work here is done for the day, tomorrow will be another day 🤷🏽‍♂️
