@@generalyoutubewatching5286 Yes this argument can be made for sure 😃. Maybe it's more about "efficient enough R" or "more efficient R". But for sure R should not be used if efficiency is the main requirement for a project 😉 But at least in my field (biological science) it's efficient enough for most tasks

Thanks for your nice feedback, good to hear that you got ideas from it! A bit clunky, but you can download the presentation pdf from the depths of my Github project: github.com/selinaZitrone/tools_and_tips/blob/main/docs/slides/2023_11_16_efficient_r.pdf

@@fitzg3278 No there is no formal online course for this topic. I give some workshops at my university and at conferences but not in general as a formal online course.

Good question. There is a lot of material out there and I feel like a good workflow is is very individual. My main recommendation is: Don't let all the complex workflow videos/articles stop you from just starting to take notes. Start with a simple workflow and don't be afraid to change and adapt it. In the beginning, I tried to build the perfect workflow from scratch which was impossible and stopped me from actually taking useful notes. But some of the resources that I liked and that helped me get a clearer idea for myself are: - Book "How to take smart notes" by Sönke Arendt - This blog post: ilyashabanov.substack.com/p/note-taking-system-for-success-in - YT Videos on Zettelkasten by Artem Kirsanov, e.g. this one: th-cam.com/video/E6ySG7xYgjY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1xd753lz0GcPOO-w But other people feel free to also post your favourite resources as an answer here :)

Hi, thanks a lot for your feedback. Very good questions you have there :) I would first of all say that there is no single right way to handle this. Of course there are suggestions for workflows but ultimately, you have to find something that makes sense to you. How I would answer your 3 questions from my workflow: 1. A permanent note for me is a Zettel about one concept/idea/theory/... If the concept is bigger, I split it into separate notes and then have one meta-Zettel combining them together. And in the Zettel, I just put links to my literature notes that I used. In my workflow literature notes can also be about YT-videos, blogs etc. Not necessarily only research papers. 2. Yes, I do it like that. I create a new Zettel and link the research papers. 3. If I collect ideas for a project, I always have a project file that links to individual notes with Ideas for that project. Some ideas go into Zettel (mainly the ones I think are general/relevant for other projects as well), but some I also keep on separate project notes that are also linked in the main project file. This is mainly for ideas/thoughts that I only want to have in the project but not keep forever in my Zettelvault. That said, I can only encourage you to start with the Zettel system of notetaking and adapt it to your own preferences over time. It needs some time to find a workflow that feels good and that is useful for you. If you are interested, I can also recommend this video that gave me a lot of inspiration: th-cam.com/video/E6ySG7xYgjY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/D9ivU_IKO6M/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps :)

@selinabaldauf7529 thanks for taking your time and answer my queries. Especially the advice in the last part. I think I will give it a go and see. Nevertheless superhelpful content 👌

I use the AnuPpuccin theme that you can install via the Obsidian settings. Then I use a community plugin called "Style settings". In this plugin you can change a lot of settings of the AnuPpuccin theme, including the coloring of the folders. I saw this in a TH-cam video by Nicole van der Hoeven: th-cam.com/video/7-SOwxpZQNI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=676FpBIDsPwWYJIe

@@selinabaldauf7529 oh thx

Good question. I would say it depends on what you want to learn. E.g. do you want to use R for programming or for data analysis? I don't know the best videos for learning R, but two (free) books I recommend to my students to get started with are and data analysis are: 1) Hands-On Programming with R - Gives a nice intro to R from the very beginning: rstudio-education.github.io/hopr/ 2) R for Data Science - Learn how to use R and the tidyverse packages for intuitive data analysis (from reading data, cleaning, transforming it to visualization): r4ds.hadley.nz/intro If anyone knows good videos, feel free to post them below :)

@@selinabaldauf7529 Thank you! 😊For data analysis and because there is so many people using data for propaganda purposes it would be nice to be able to check and analyse the info myself, where should I start? maths? statistics? or straight to R, I'm not sure but how would you fact check dubious data claims that get shared on social media

This is a very big question that I think does not have a single good answer. If your goal is only debunking, then I think the best and fastest option is to look for reliable fact checker websites/accounts that already do this with a lot of experience. Debunking the information yourself requires you to get the raw data (which can already be tricky sometimes), know the right statistics and know an analysis software like R. So that is quite an investment of time. But of course also fun to learn, so don't let me stop you 😊

Thanks a lot. Clear and understandable for everyone was the goal 😊

Well, I guess it depends on what you want to do 😊 but if speed is the priority, R might not be the right choice

No it's not. You can use many different combinations of programming languages and IDEs. If you are e.g. an R user and you use RStudio, you can also integrate Github Copilot there (although without the chat functionality). Check out the step-by-step guide that I linked in the video description. There I describe how to get Github Copilot and I link how you can set it up with VS Code, but also with R Studio.

Thanks for your feedback. Great to hear that it helped you 😊 It took me some time to figure out this organization system but now that it's set up, it saves me just so much time and frustration

Thanks a lot for your nice feedback. Happy note taking!

Thanks for your nice feedback. Happy you liked the videos

Do you by any chance know a more efficient function that does the same thing?

@baldauf7529not in R. But performing the same operation in GUI-based packages like QGIS is lightning fast compared to this function. I haven't managed to know why this is so slow at this level.
