I'm looking to contribute to open-source projects. I'm particularly interested in projects in the green sector (energy, climate change, sustainability, etc), but also open to working on projects in other areas. If you have any GitHub issues pending that need attention, feel free to reach out.

More data consultants added, more service tags added, and several new countries represented. Looking for data help? Check out this list! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Being in the job market is very scary, but I am not one to give up. I now work in the clean energy, sustainability, climate change and ESG space. You can find a list of services I offer here: shelkariuki.netlify.app/services/ #rstats #quarto #sustainability #esg #energy

Hi #rstats fam! I'm looking for a new role in the #sustainability, #ESG, #climatechange space. Please help me amplify this LinkedIn post 🙏. I truly appreciate 🙏. www.linkedin.com/posts/shel-k...

From June, I’ll be taking on limited consulting work via my new practice, NC Data Labs → ncdatalabs.com If your team needs support with production R, internal R tooling, or Shiny/package dev, I’d like to hear from you! #rstats #rinprod

Does anyone know of a case where a #quarto website is embedded in another website that wasn't built with quarto? Ideally, the #quarto content would appear as an additional tab or section on the main website, with the URL reflecting the main site itself rather than the separate quarto deployment.

A combination of #quarto and a few lines of #css can do wonders ... 😍

I'm curious. How are people scrapping data from PDFs nowadays?

If you are a #sustainability or #ESG analyst and use #rstats in your day to day work, please send me a DM. Thanks ☺️

Hi! I've been working on a #quarto website, and previously, I didn't need to re-render the site after every edit to a .qmd file. Simply refreshing the browser would integrate the changes. I only needed to re-render once I was done editing. 1/2

Just released my second #rstats package called {tndata}! It's an R package for fetching official #Tunisia gov data using their #api.

Reviewer 2 for Bluesky:

If you are a #shiny developer currently working in the #energy and/or #climatechange space, please send me a DM 🙏

Also footnote markers can be labels and not just numbered, e.g. [^rmd-formats] instead of [^4], which helps me keep track of those notes when I move the text around

In #rstats #quarto, when writing documents that contain footnotes, I tend to move things around a when editing, disordering the footnote sequence (see first image). I learnt that instead of re-numbering manually, I can just click on 'visual' then 'source' again and the sequence is normalised.

Friendly note to all the new people here--WELCOME! Please set up a full profile so we can know who you are and follow back (some of us are still recovering from harassment on that other place). Also, the starter packs are great but overwhelming. Engage in (friendly) conversation so we can connect!

Hi #rstats fam. Everytime I render my #quarto website, the process renders all the qmd files even for posts I made ages ago. Ideally, I want to render only the files I edit (for example file 22 in the image below). I have the option 'freeze:auto' on every qmd file but it doesn't seem to work.

New blog post! I helped build Idaho's official election results website (with #rstats and #quartopub) and we did some neat stuff to auto-generate hundreds of R chunks. Here's a guide about how to create tabsets and slides programmatically with inline knitr chunks www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2024/11...

You may already know that `dplyr::bind_rows()` allows you to row-bind data frames with mismatched columns.. But did you know you can name the input dfs and use those names as a key in the resulting df? I use this (`.id = `) on a weekly basis - it makes for much cleaner code 🧼 #rstats

Oh gosh ... we really do need a bookmark button.

If you've followed me, please put a little bit of effort to add deets to your profile. This way I'm able to weed out bots and weirdos 🙏

My #rstats #dataBS #datasky networks feel like they're in a good place in terms of replacing the old twitter days. Missing the epidemiologist folks though. I made a quick starter pack of those in #episky that I could find; if I missed you please let me know and I'll add you! go.bsky.app/3cn51fN

Hi 👋! For those who don't know me from Mastodon, LinkedIn, old Twitter, or InfoWorld: I'm a long-time tech journalist & data pro. ❤️ R #rstats, writing & photography. Enjoy working with generative AI #GenAI. Also like running & crochet. Learning #Python & American Sign Language #ASL Newly retired!

Been preparing our US election analysis today. The tidycensus package really is invaluable. Big thanks to Kyle Walker and all contributors 👏 #rstats #tidyverse

I want to give a shameless plug for the CRAN Cookbook Project that I've been working on for the last few months 🍽️ It's still in development but it has been really enlightening to develop this (*hopefully* very helpful) resource for the #rstats community! github.com/r-devel/cran...

So excited to see the #rstats community reassembling here! And, simultaneously, how much energy I have for social media anymore (I'm old).

I suppose I better intro myself here, so... G'day! 👋🏻 I'll be posting about data things, generative art #rtistry, sports analytics, and miscellaneous other things, no doubt. Lots of familiar faces and names here from the #rstats community - will be so fun to feel connected to y'all again! 💜

Just in time for the #30DayMapChallenge

LLMs in #rstats in a tidy and consistent interface? Very cool even if I did think the package name was a joke about Elmer Fudd or Elmer's Glue that I didn't understand hadley.github.io/elmer/index....

Just curious… if you’re new to Bluesky (new account, or tuning in after a long hibernation period) - what brought you here? Also hi, welcome, I am so friggin excited to see old and new friends on here. My feed is looking v promising, let’s keep the data convos going! 🤩

In recognition of us doing fuck all to reduce emissions, let me remind y'all that carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is useless unless we decarbonize drastically. rdcu.be/dbFbB

With #rstats re-gathering I’m reposting some of my past blog posts, including my most popular one: "Marginalia" Have you wondered what marginal and conditional effects are? Have you been confused how "marginal" can mean both an integral *and* a slope? Read on for the magic of {marginaleffects}!

I'm working on my 2024 Halloween R monsters illustration and #rstats folks, I need your help 👻🎃 What's something in data science, R, statistics, etc. that feels tempting but is very, very dangerous? In the meantime I'll be sharing some Halloween R art from previous years 🕷️🧟☠️ The first (2019?):

If you're an #rstats user, one way to protect yourself from yourself is to do: usethis::git_vaccinate() which will setup or modify your user-level (aka global) gitignore file to handle the most obvious R-associated files that probably don't belong in git. usethis.r-lib.org/reference/gi...

"Reproducible Analytical Pipelines" in R includes chapters on unit tests, {targets}, Docker, git, and GitHub Actions, among other topics. Everything you need to turn ad-hoc coding into a reproducible process! By @brodriguesco.bsky.social raps-with-r.dev #RStats #git #GitHug

Testing is annoying, but at least you can automate it 🫡 I just gave a 10-minute crash course on automated testing with GitHub Actions (and it was a fasttttt one ⚡️). testthat, covr, shinytest2, all the #rstats goodies. Slides: hypebright.github.io/rpharma-2024... Repo: github.com/hypebright/R...
