The Raspberry Pi 4B as a shiny server
This blog post will not have any code, but will document how I went from hosting apps on shinyapps.io to hosting shiny apps on my own server, which is a Raspberry Pi 4B with 8 gigs of ram. First of all, why hosting apps on a Raspberry Pi? And why not continue on shinyapps.io? Or why not get one of hose nifty droplets on DigitalOcean? Well for two...

Building apps with {shinipsum} and {golem}
In my previous blog post I showed you how I set up my own Shiny server using a Raspberry Pi 4B. If you visited the following link you’ll be connecting to my Raspberry Pi and can play around with a Shiny app that I called golemDemo. It’s been quite a few months that I wanted to discuss this app: A little prototype app I'm working on to learn m...

It’s time to retire the “data scientist” label
The “Data Scientist” label served its purpose; it allowed us to signal a transition happening in our profession from using only applied mathematical statistical methods to something else, which now also involves the use of a subset of software engineering practices. This transition was mentioned back in 2010 by Deborah Nolan (https://www.stat...

Graphical User Interfaces were a mistake but you can still make things right
Some weeks ago I tweeted this: GUIs were a mistake — Bruno Rodrigues (@brodriguesco) October 9, 2020 you might think that I tweeted this as an unfunny joke, but it’s not. GUIs were one of the worst things to happen for statisticians. Clickable interfaces for data analysis is probably one of the greatest source of mistakes and errors in dat...

Poorman’s automated translation with R and Google Sheets using {googlesheets4}
A little trick I thought about this week; using Google Sheets, which includes a “googletranslate()” function to translate a survey that we’re preparing at work, from French to English, and using R of course. You’ll need a Google account for this. Also, keep in mind that you’ll be sending the text you want to translate to Google, so don�...
