Basic programming language celebrates its 60th birthday

The first Basic interpreter went live in May 1964. This was intended to make it easier to learn programming. However, the computers to go with it were not available until much later.

Basic is the abbreviation for "Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code". In other words, it is a general-purpose programming language for beginners.

This VBA macro saves an Excel worksheet as a PDF. It sets and sorts the data, creates a temporary sheet with headers, formats and aligns the data, and adjusts column widths. The macro defines the PDF path, deletes any existing file, sets page orientation and footer, exports the sheet to PDF, deletes the temporary sheet, and shows a message with the PDF path. Modify to your needs if you find it useful.

🎉 New Post Alert! 🎉

Counting words in a string is a fundamental task in data analysis.

  1. Base R: Use strsplit(), a straightforward method to split strings and count words.

  2. stringr: The str_split() function from the stringr package makes the code more readable.

  3. stringi: For powerful and efficient string manipulation, stri_split_regex() from the stringi package is your go-to.

Happy coding! 🚀

And nothing worked. As expected. This software is just so frustrating.

The time window is over again. I hope this time the backup works properly.

After I update my #R Package TidyDensity there will be 176 functions...that's a lot of code I wrote. This is just a reflection. Right now it is 172.

define-typed: a static type syntax-rules macro for #Guile to create API contracts and help the JIT compiler create more optimized code:

https://www.draketo.de/software/guile-snippets#define-typed

Improved thanks to feedback from Vivien and Zelphir in the Guile User mailing list.

Just 26 lines to get argument and return value typing without changing Guile.

I love the flexibility of #Scheme ❤️

Want to check duplicate values across columns of a data.frame? Well you can do that in a basic way with TidyDensity and the check_duplicate_rows() function, or you can go through todays blog post for some other ideas with and

PSA for my fellow ​s:

If you ever get the "offer" to work with 6, run. Run as fast as you can. There is nothing out there that is more of a developer nightmare than this pile of junk.

Discover essential techniques to check for column existence in R data frames!

Use %in% with names() or colnames(), explore dynamic checks with exists() and within(), or identify patterns with grepl(). Experiment with these methods in your projects.

I know I'll get more geek points if I write Java code like:

pConf.getProfiles().forEach(<br></br>    p -> mProfileURIMap.put(p.getId(), p.getURI()));<br></br>

But I still think nothing beats a good old loop:

for (ProfileConf profileConf : pConf.getProfiles()) {<br></br>  mProfileURIMap.put(profileConf.getId(), profileConf.getURI());<br></br>}<br></br>

I was up late trying to figure out a stupid issue I was having with the Crowdstrike API so I didn't stream on twitch last night, hoping to do a stream tonight. I think they took a feature out my team was actually using which would allow me to contain a device and make a note that could be viewed in the dashboard.
