I'm interested in maintaining and improving relationships between people and nature using technology, science, and business.

Life seems to be found on scales no smaller than atoms and no bigger than galaxies. Why? The complex systems scientist Fernando Rosas has helped craft a framework for exploring questions like this one. https://t.co/cniSWLIprC

@PhDemetri Just a bunch of library(package) calls in the dependency file

[Evan Anway @EAnway]

@PhDemetri I copy a dependencies.R file to the project root and call renv::snapshot() during the project init.

[Evan Anway @EAnway]

@PhDemetri Or you might need to change the working directory to the new folder. The project argument in install defaults to the current working directory.

[Evan Anway @EAnway]

@PhDemetri Snapshot after install?

All about that base (rate). Shiny Euler diagrams to show basic selected cases fallacy. This needs labels and better visuals for the relevant areas but the hard (fun) part is done I think

In theory, you should end up paying about the same amount each year in ownership costs (i.e., depreciation and repairs), regardless of whether you own a vehicle for the first 5 years of it's useful life or the last 5. Learn why:

Should you repair or replace your car? It's more complicated than you'd think!

The economically rational decision involves calculating the useful life of your car using the initial purchase price and ongoing maintenance costs. Learn more:

Capital expenditures might help explain how, in the fiscal theory of inflation, higher interest rates from monetary authorities can lower inflation in the short term and have a neutral effect in the long term.

Should you buy your own toolset or just hire a contractor? Is it worth it to bake your own bread?

Generally, when deciding whether or not to DIY, how do you calculate how much it would truly cost? Find out how to be a rational actor:

Ecologists have found that a complex term known as effective population size, which can be used to describe the complementarity in the life histories of species, may be the key to understanding why ecosystems can be so biodiverse.

Question: How much is your time worth when you're trying to decide whether or not to DIY?
Short Answer: Your net income divided by the number of hours in a year

@Pietro_Delfino @rstatstweet I think this is the perfect use-case to make a function: improved code-readability, no existing pipeable function, temporary variables needed.

[Evan Anway @EAnway]

@seankross I prefer group_by, nest, mutate + map. It keeps everything in a table

[Evan Anway @EAnway]

@seriouswildlife I like using tibble::enframe after list.files, followed by purrr::map with readxl::read_excel, and ending with tidyr::unnest
