...and, of course, we didn't leave out #rstats. The 0.4.0 release features the sdplyr R package, which provides a dplyr interface covering the basic subset of transformations (including spatial joins!). Like Python, our ST_ and RS_ functions have inline docs via the generated sedonafns package.

See you tomorrowww!!!!!!

Beyond excited to share that catboost now has full native support in tidymodels!! This support should extend to all applicable areas of tidymodels, which means that orbital works as well 🚀 opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-06... #rstats #tidymodels

Don't worry, "I have the full picture now."

Not sure about contiguous blocks, mlr3spatiotemporal is another package that does spatial (and spatio-temporal) cv, mlr3spatiotempcv.mlr-org.com.

Only 2 weeks remaining before our #rstats useR 2026 blockr workshop 😱 blockr is an open source no-code data workflow builder for R built in collaboration with @bristolmyerssquibb.bsky.social 📆 When: Monday July 6 from 1pm to 4:30pm CEST 👉 blockr.site 🎮 blockr.cloud lnkd.in/e8yEmhU7

Hey #rspatial, any 📦s that perform spatial CV well? Blocked by a few {spatialsample} bugs and {blockCV} doesn't make contiguous blocks. I have a grid and want to make a contiguous holdout set. #rstats

@scalingdevtools.bsky.social any plans of episodes that aren’t centered around “AI” in the pipeline? i miss listening to this podcast 😭

semi-colons are the new em-dash

Espresso in Seattle is $2.22 - $2.72 more expensive than in Central London, btw.

Ordering a cortado in London is a toss-up between getting a flat white or a cortado. I’ve not figured out the tell

I don’t like what Claude has done to PRs

I like so many things about Europe. But are y’all just thirsty **all of the time**???

You know what I don't want when Iceland air cancels my flight? An "AI assistant" on the phone.

Using grafana over jaeger for the first time. Skill issue or is grafana genuinely just realllyyyyy confusing UX?

I completely agree with opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-05... TOML seemed like a good format, until I learned the gory details while writing github.com/gaborcsardi/...

» arrow-extendr « now supports geoarrow 🌏 Use geoarrow types from anywhere in your 🦀 Rust-powered R packages 🐇📦 👈🏼 Centroid using geoarrow + extendr 👉🏼 called from R compared to {sf} #rust #rstats

Demo at amoeba.github.io/arrow-r-wasm/. I've never had to do so little work to add support for a new platform. Thanks to @gws.phd and team for Web-R and @jeroenooms.bsky.social for the R-Universe infra.

*technically* the "Lower 48" doesn't include D.C.

Behold, ye vibers! The promise land (the docs) await you!

Don't trust everything Claude tells you!

Vibe check! How we doin'? Good? Good!

quick problem-solving note about loops and ggplot2 www.tjmahr.com/notes/2026-0...

i have two fixes for you. 1) use aes(bill_len, m[, !! i]) to force evaluation of i to its value. do that only in the aes() part. or 2) use ggplotGrob(gg) or patchwork::wrap_ggplot_grob(ggplotGrob(gg)) on the plot to forced it to be built

I feel like #rstats is actually doing well re: "Maintainers need help finding out who’s downstream of them, talking to those people before things break". I know that R core uses CRAN pkgs basically as tests and pkg maintainers *have* to grapple with rev dep breakage before release.

Why can't I do this 😭 #rstats

Yet again bamboozled by ggplot2's lazy eval...This is my white whale in R 🐋 10 years in and i still have no idea how to plot multiple ggplots

Is there a flavor of Claude that is an "assistant?" The shift towards "autonomous" has ruined claude for me :(

resisting the urge to respond "what if we just remove commas from the language" on the R-devel thread about how trailing commas should be handled

How do we get fenced divs into the commonmark spec?

📣 Last day for @rconsortium.bsky.social grant submissions! My (unofficial) Tips: - Small scoped R 📦 (or improvement) / tool - ~6 - 12 month duration - 3-7k ask is the sweet spot Spend 45-60 mins with your thoughts to write a proposal! r-consortium.org/all-projects... #rstats

A cool looking job opening at the NY times! job-boards.greenhouse.io/thenewyorkti... #rstats

That 12Mb hex sticker is the winner (the single largest PNG among all R packages on CRAN). With enough memory, it can be optimized to a few hundred Kb (lossless).

We're working on supporting **condition** objects in extendr. If you're a 🦀 #rust **and** #rstats 🐇 dev, would love your input on this new feature! github.com/extendr/exte...

I could really use a "💩 i hate about Claude" venting group

R-Consortium grant submission deadline May 1st! My (very unofficial and not-endorsed) recommendation is: - targeted and clearly scoped proposal - Short and concise (maybe a list, chart, table etc) - Milestones across ~6-8 months - ~5k-ish USD #rstats r-consortium.org/all-projects...

{hypertext} 1.2.0 is out on CRAN. we've added support for trailing commas in tags. quite a small feature but makes for great UX. check it out: github.com/sigflux/hype... #rstats

extendr v0.9.0 is release! 🚀 (hopefully) our last until v1.0.0! Improved DX 👨🏻‍💻 𝙢𝙞𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 included! - `anyhow` support out of the box - deprecates `rextendr::document()` use {devtools} only! - use std trait implementations instead of custom methods #rstats #rust extendr.rs/blog/posts/2...

`ollama pull qwen3.5:9b` from the cafe wifi and now i feel evil

I've been using gh pr-review to help with claude assisted PR review. Workflow: - I provide detailed comments in GH PR review - Have claude review them - Claude gets everything entirely wrong - I do it myself. Still extremely useful! github.com/agynio/gh-pr... #claude

In case you aren't aware, TinyTeX has started offering binaries for ARM and musl-based Linux since last month: yihui.org/en/2026/03/t... Enjoy the extra 5 minutes saved! BTW, I didn't know musl/Alpine Linux before. While working on TinyTeX binary for it, I was intrigued and also quite impressed.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing on 1 April of Tomáš Kalibera, a valuable member of the R Core Team for close to 10 years, after a short but aggressive illness. Tomáš is survived by his wife and 1 year old son. A full obituary will be posted in due time.

Seattle is the only city I’ve lived in where I have to wait hours for coffee shops to open up. It’s 8am, why aren’t you selling coffee?

Me after a visit to Renton.

I donated a smol amount. Will you? Also, CRISPR is awesome.
