I could easily reshape the code book by hand into something easier to read, e.g., another csv spec of variable names, labels, and factor levels. Is there a robust #rstats package that takes such a code book and fixes up factor levels etc in a data frame? 2025-01-26T13:43:12Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvl7w6n7n375u3smcagwlhdzgq7p4q6s7d5t4p53j3wyvcat2gpgqzyz660d2sawza4p7ugwhwq5camhnvu8vczv42p4r56plns2603ugp2w3mdgk Looking for examples of internet services (including but not limited to websites) that are free (at point of use, so BBC News is in) and ad-free.<br/><br/>Some examples:<br/><br/>BBC News<br/>The Conversation<br/>Mastodon<br/>openDemocracy<br/>OpenStreetMap<br/>Project Gutenberg<br/>Signal<br/>TheyWorkForYou<br/>Tilde.Club<br/>Wikipedia<br/><br/>Any other big ones?

The test, conducted by German company Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA), was part of trials for launching the UK’s first vertical rocket into orbit. No injuries were reported, launchpad fine. #SaxaVordSpaceport #Shetland<br/><br/><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy54wqzz0kvo">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy54wqzz0kvo</a> 2024-08-20T07:33:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv5msu4kkmszw0mufjkgv59kz3uwa7efthflautcxke7z5ma2sfsgzyz660d2sawza4p7ugwhwq5camhnvu8vczv42p4r56plns2603ugp2fdh3t2 “I want to know what it is like for a bat to be a bat.
