For more than a year I have been working on a brand new Jupyter Notebook editor for Positron. This is a ground-up build of a new Jupyter Notebook experience built to leverage all the knowledge and tools Posit/Positron brings to the data science table. 🧵#jupyter

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited! - `filter_out()` for dropping rows - `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats! tidyverse.org/blog/2026/02...

Mont Ventoux. A private commission from 6 years ago this week. Watercolour.

I love the noise Canada Geese make as they fly overhead and their instinctive communal sense of aesthetic organisation, plus the way that not one of them will ever barge in on social media with their opinion on a piece of writing without clicking on the link to find out what the piece actually says.

This watermark graffiti by street artist Mathieu Tremblin is, like, the best thing ever.

Until we as a species can settle on which modifier key we should use to switch between "newline" and "submit" when hitting ↩ I see no future for us

I’m being told this is real.

#rstats ANNOUNCE: The ASA John M. Chambers Statistical Software Award to Harriet Mason (Monash Univ) For ggdibbler, an R graphics (ggplot2 add-on) package that enables rich visualization of uncertainty across raster, contour, stack, and spatial plots.

I dabbled with @thomasp85.com's {ggfx} package a bit this past weekend to generate a figure for an upcoming blog post and the result was pretty nice! I was able to add a subtle "atmosphere" that the data is representing to the background of the figure with a blurred gradient-fill rect. #RStats

We are responding to this call for evidence: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... Do you have concrete examples of the added value of #Rstats in the public or private sectors? Include the most important factors (risk, lock-in, security, innovation...) to assess the added value. Thanks!

Having some fun recreating images in ggplot with the help of magick. This was made with geom_ribbon and stitched together with magick::image_animate. #Rstats #dataviz
