I want to highlight a single option I added to my .Rprofile about two years ago, that helped me immensely, options(useFancyQuotes=FALSE) If I’m working on a remote machine, I make it a point to add this one line at least. Let me explain why. I build and install packages while…

Goal Create a git repository from the subdirectory of an existing git repository. Furthermore, preserve the log of only that subdirectory. Let us unpack this statement. The context will also help understand it a little better. There is a git repository hosted on a private git server, let us call this…

I’m interested in looking at data sets that span a wide range but not limited to social, climate, energy, sports, and healthcare. Some of the useful data sources I’ve looked at to understand the world around me better are listed below in no particular order: The World Bank: The world…

I only use Docker images now for my R and RStudio needs. I’ve not installed R or RStudio on my local machine, though I work at Bioconductor, *a total R shop*. I spend most of my day in R. I’ve implemented a couple of new images called the bioconductor/bioconductor_docker …

Github: nturaga; Twitter: niteshturaga — Trying to make Docker images smaller is a little bit easier if you know how the filesystem works and have a few handy resources. My first naive effort, I was trying to delete stuff from the top layer of a 5Gb image (with plenty of layers). Once I saved the…

Github: nturaga, twitter: niteshturaga My previous posts showed “How I use Bioconductor with Docker”, think of this as an extension to that. It was the case (way back when) that I found Docker containers “slow” and not a very efficient way of using R. This is because R is an…

Github: nturaga, twitter: niteshturaga A terminal multiplexer would be a great way to work(in theory), but learning and re-learning the shortcuts for tmux seems to be too much work, unless I was using it on a daily basis. iTerm2’s tmux integration solves these problems for me. Especially when i’m writing…

Github: nturaga , twitter: niteshturaga This is how I use the image, bioconductor/bioconductor_full:devel in my daily use. I use this particular image because it has all the system dependencies to install most Bioconductor packages. docker pull bioconductor/bioconductor_full:devel Start up the docker image, and share a folder for the library-store and…
