🚨 Big news for the R Community! The Sovereign Tech Fund has invested $450,000 in the R Foundation to strengthen R’s sustainability, security, and modernization. Details: r-consortium.org/posts/sovere... #rstats #opensource #datascience

Another real-world #HPC cluster confirmed for future.batchtools.futureverse.org - built-in template for PBS/TORQUE plan(batchtools_torque) works with PBSPro scheduler. Big thanks to @eliocamp.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy - req'd some xtra efforts bc special R_LIBS_USER location #RStats #parallel

"tarball size threshold for CRAN increased to 10 MB (as it already is in the policies)" github.com/r-devel/r-sv... #RStats

I wish there was static compilation or JIT of function and objects of dependency packages, so that one would not wait to get all dependencies to use just a few functions

Super excited for the new release of #rstats V8 which now also works in WebR by running js/wasm natively in web worker (thanks to @gws.phd). Will release some cool new packages soon to show the potential of WASM in R ✨

Was really fun to present our #SpectriPy @bioconductor.bsky.social package for combined #rstats & #Python analysis of #MassSpectrometry data today at #EuroBioC2025 also available on Zenodo: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

A #Slurm user just confirmed that "yay it works. Pretty sick!" Thanks to excellent feedback from several users, it'll soon be even easier to distribute #rstats code via #HPC job schedulers using future.batchtools #parallel #futureverse

#RStats #Positron Q: Is it possible to programmatically restart R running in Position Console? I want to add support for it as startup::restart(), and if not possible (e.g. RStudio Console), at least produce an informative error message github.com/HenrikBengts...

Really insightful post from Julie Tibshirani (spotted in LinkedIn, can't find on Bsky) reflecting on #rstats 's unique governance structure and what can be learned for other languages jtibs.substack.com/p/if-all-the...

📢 R Dev Day @ Australia 🏢 Monash University, Melbourne 🌐 Remote, Australia 📅 Fri 21 Nov It's happening! Apply to attend this free event, to collaborate on contributions to #RStats! You don't need to be an R guru! Deadline Sunday 16 Nov: pretix.eu/r-contributo... #RDevDay #RSEng

Sign-up for the next round of the rainbowR buddies scheme is open! Buddies will be paired/introduced on Sept 2nd 🌈👯‍♂️ If you're LGBTQ+ and code in #RStats, and want an opportunity to connect with someone else in the community (through a random pairing), then this is for you 😃 rainbowr.org/buddies

TIL about SciServer.org: Free scientific computing platform with persistent accounts (#NSF-funded). All the power of #JupyterHub without the setup hassle. Focus on building great teaching + research notebooks, not infrastructure! #OpenScience

Writing my first analyses using {targets} and honestly, I don't know why I didn't pick this up sooner. Sure, the functional programming approach takes some getting used to, but I've never had a clearer picture of where I'm at with with a project.#rstats

Now on CRAN, ggdiagram is a #ggplot2 extension that draws diagrams programmatically in #Rstats. Allows for precise control in how objects, labels, and equations are placed in relation to each other. wjschne.github.io/ggdiagram/ar...

Thank you all for an amazing #user2025 conference! At my useR! 2016 talk on #future I had a wish for a P2P #parallel processing in #RStats. Nine years later, I presented #Futureverse P2P: Peer-to-Peer Parallelization in R at #useR2025 (www.futureverse.org/talks.html) photo by @schloerke.com

Boarding a red eye for #useR2025. Looking forward to meeting everyone

I have brought some hex sticker for my R package 📦 {pretestcad} to give out during the useR! 2025 conference at Duke University Durham, North Carolina, USA. Hope to meet new people and catch up with familar ones there. cran.r-project.org/web/packages... #rstats #rcommunity #rpackage #useR2025

Do we have an official chat for #useR2025, e.g. on Slack? FWIW, last year, @kobriendublin.bsky.social and I winged it and launched user2024, user2024-social, and user2024-venue channels on whyr.slack.com. #useR2025 #rstats

Tons of fun and knowledge at #RaukR 2025 R Beyond the Basics! Awesome lectures by @jennybryan.bsky.social, @henrikbengtsson.bsky.social l and @cderv.bsky.social Fantastic students! Have you missed RaukR2025? No worries, register your interest for RaukR 2026: nbisweden.github.io/raukr-2026/

The future package celebrates ten years on CRAN as of June 19, 2025. I just posted the 2nd in a series of blog posts highlighting recent improvements to #futureverse * Setting Future Plans in R Functions - and Why You Probably Shouldn't available at www.jottr.org/2025/06/25/w... #RStats #parallel

The future package celebrates ten years on CRAN as of June 19, 2025. I just posted the first of a series of blog posts highlighting recent improvements to the #futureverse ecosystem: * Future got better at finding global variables available at www.jottr.org/2025/06/23/f... #RStats #parallel

The future package turns ten today 🥳 To celebrate, I’ll start a blog series covering recent improvements that set us up for new, exciting ways for writing concurrent #RStats - neater than what our trusty workhorses future.apply & furrr offer www.jottr.org/2025/06/19/f... #parallel #futureverse

Liberating the future! Major progress to #Futureverse - new, exciting, frequently-requested features. RC 1 of 'future' package is now available as: install.packages("future", repos = c("https://futureverse.r-universe.dev", "https://cloud.r-project.org')) Please give it a try🙏 #rstats #parallel

Thank you so much for support, this will be a fantastic conference for sure!

Excellent and unexpected news 🥳 #pebble

You know you're old when you remember R developers being excited when #Rstats started to support C++11 and C++14. On that note: $ svn log -r 87644 ----------------------------------- r87644 | ripley | 2025-01-26 22:04:23 -0800 preliminary support for C++26 -----------------------------------

Can you think of an #rstats option that is okay for package to set, e.g. when loaded? The more I think about it, the more I think it's only the end-user who should be able to change an R option. I'm trying to come up with a counter example, where it's safe for a package to do it, but I can't

The useR! 2025 site is live! You can check out the key dates to get a head start on writing your submission or travel planning. Who is looking forward to visiting North Carolina? The area should be beautiful in August for sure! #rstats user2025.r-project.org

It's not only young, junior developers that suffer from imposter. Very experienced, senior developers may also struggle with it. Being aware of this can be a win-win when looking at their products & docs, and when reaching out to them with questions and feedback #foss #linux #rstats #python

Please don't write software that hijacks all CPU cores by default. Here's a shared compute server with 48 cores where the #java, #python and #MATLAB processes defaults to using all the cores, bringing this machine to a full stall. The users are not to be blamed here #Linux #parallel #rstats

@user-conf.bsky.social, it looks like the useR! 2024 YouTube playlists are missing a lot of conference presentations; www.youtube.com/@useRConfere... What happened to all the other presentations that were recorded ... or am I missing something? #RStats #useR2024
