# tidy_rcarbon.R
# Tidy wrappers for the rcarbon package

#' Calibrate radiocarbon dates with tidy syntax
#'
#' A thin wrapper of [rcarbon::calibrate()] that returns calibrated dates as a
#' single list rather than a `CalDates`` object. Useful, for example, if you want
#' to add a column of calibrated dates to an existing table with [dplyr::mutate()]
#'
#' @param cra     A vector of uncalibrated radiocarbon ages.

Comprehensions in Python the Jedi way

by Bjørn Friese

Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit.

-- The Zen of Python

I frequently deal with collections of things in the programs I write. Collections of droids, jedis, planets, lightsabers, starfighters, etc. When programming in Python, these collections of things are usually represented as lists, sets and dictionaries. Oftentimes, what I want to do with collections is to transform them in various ways. Comprehensions is a powerful syntax for doing just that. I use them extensively, and it's one of the things that keep me coming back to Python. Let me show you a few examples of the incredible usefulness of comprehensions.

"Al fondo, vedo (non certo nei curatori del progetto, ma come sottofondo ancora presente nella mente di alcuni bibliotecari italiani), l'idea che le opere conservate in una biblioteca siano in qualche modo "possedute" dalla biblioteca. Conservare (che è la mission delle biblioteche per le opere storiche) non implica acquisire diritti, quanto piuttosto, semmai, doveri, come appunto quello della massima valorizzazione delle opere. Al giorno d'oggi questo non può che significare rilasciare anche le digitalizzazioni in pubblico dominio (o CC0)."

SPARQL Queries (with cURL command) on Wikidata

This gist resulted to be just the spark for a proper article, and won't be maintained here anymore.

The SPARQL endpoint is http://wdqs-beta.wmflabs.org/bigdata/namespace/wdq/sparql and it has a Web form to fire queries. However http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/P31 ("instance of") tells you what the entity is.

The repository doesn't have named graphs, or at least the SPARQL endpoint rejects graph queries. The classes of entities (rdf:type) are not described in the repository.

To find the HTML page of an entity (such as https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q866405), simply replace /entity/ with /wiki/.
