Managing complicated research workflows in R with {#targets}
"An ethics of probability tends to crowd out an ethics of possibility."
"A technocratic approach can also be self-defeating in policy terms. Render the future too concrete and it becomes harder to think about far-reaching structural change. In the language of the anthropologist Arjun Appadurai, an ethics of probability tends to crowd out an ethics of possibility. Moreover, the precision of targets can make failures more glaring, as goals are missed and deadlines pass.This weakens commitment in adversity – a point made by sympathetic critics of a climate agenda centred on “hitting the carbon numbers”. Arguably one of the preconditions of radical politics is an element of imprecision. The anticolonial thinker and activist Frantz Fanon once warned of the “curious cult of detail” that could afflict the scientific mindset in politics, causing its bearer to lose sight of the bigger picture: “Thus, if a local defeat is inflicted, he may well be drawn into doubt, and from thence to despair.”" Jonathan White

#targets #rstats fans, can anyone recommend the best format/arguments for a target that produces multiple files? It feels a bit incompatible as a target result but I'm hoping there is a workable solution? I'd rather not refactor the function to work with dynamic branching because that would require more work

I’d bounced off the documentation on static branching with #targets on prior attempts but I think I’ve learned the framework well enough to actually follow it this time https://books.ropensci.org/targets/static.html#map
I think half the battle in learning to program is not giving up if you don’t understand something when you first encounter it. Learning new things is hard!

Time for another {targets} post today. One of the design patterns we’ve used for a long time is to push as much into a function as possible. If it’s a fairly standard step then parameters are limited. There are some steps that we have that we ‘just know’ will need to have the function updated for the project we’re working on so these too have limited parameters. A

@LeafyEricScott It's been an absolute pleasure to work with Eric on {geotargets}, he's been consistently pushing great features, and they have been absolutely critical to our work at IDEM. You can see an example of this work in action at https://github.com/idem-lab/map-ir-pipeline.
{geotargets} now has a getting started vignette!
https://njtierney.github.io/geotargets/articles/geotargets.html
{geotargets} is an 
package that helps you use geospatial packages like {terra} in your {targets} pipelines. @njtierney and I created it to help with our own work and we hope it can help you too!
#rstats since it's release is early-mid September 2024 #rJavaEnv (ekotov.pro/rJavaEnv/) is averaging 500+ downloads per month. It's your trusty companion for #r5r, #RSelenium, #openNLP and 100+ other #Java dependent packages. Install Java in one line of code + use with #targets #ReproducibleResearch
The target is not Christians, it's Christian Nationalism.
The target is not men, it's patriarchy.
The target is not white people, it's white supremacy.
The target is not heterosexuals, it's homophobia.
Don't take it personal, join the work and dismantle oppressive systems.
I've just spent the last 4 hours playing with #rstats #targets and #parquet files, and let me say this, why I didn't look into targets before??!!!
It's amazing!! I had an old data workflow to download daily meteo from different APIs, and refactoring it to use targets has removed half of the code and made it easier to test in devel (plus now is a little faster but that's also the refactoring made, not only targets).
Can't wait to start getting it ready for production!!!
appreciation toot. Also my first time using {crew} for managing async stuff and it is legit!
