We’re excited to launch the Posit Open Source website! 🚀 We’ve unified 15+ years of tools, 900+ blogs, and 1,600+ videos in one place. Explore it here: opensource.posit.co Huge thanks to the team: @cwick.co.nz Greg Swinehart @hadley.nz @ivelasq3.bsky.social @jeroenjanssens.com

The Tufte LaTeX class is pretty, but it hasn't been updated for years and doesn't work with well with Quarto/lualatex. But with #QuartoPub you can replicate it on your own in HTML/PDF with just a little bit of customization with CSS and some preamble-y things! github.com/andrewheiss/...

I'd love to learn more about how y'all are using AI for data science, so I've set up some times where you can chat with me: scheduler.zoom.us/hadley-wickh.... I'm interested in it all, whether it's your struggles, your successes, or what you're still trying to get your head around. #rstats

"Google Chrome is reaching into users' machines and writing a 4 GB on-device AI model file to disk without asking.... The only ways to make the deletion stick are to disable Chrome's AI features through chrome://flags or enterprise policy" www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-... #AI #infosec

PSA: if you are on R 4.4.x or older and suddenly the pak #Rstats package fails to install from source, then here are some workarounds: github.com/r-lib/pak/is... I am also submitting a new version right now to fix this.

💥🇭🇺🗳️ BREAKING: Péter Magyar says Viktor Orbán called to concede and congratulate him. Magyar will be Hungary’s next prime minister and, as it stands, is set to secure a 2/3 supermajority – enough to fully dismantle Orbán’s system. A 16-year chapter is over.

🤯You can't make this up: amid Kremlin meddling in Hungary's election, OSCE Parliamentary Assembly sends Putin's former interpreter Daria Boyarskaya – sanctioned by Poland, detained by Lithuania – on an election observation mission to Budapest. More in my newsletter: vsquare.org/goulash-puti...

The newest edition of posit::glimpse() is here! 🚀 Read a roundup of major #RStats & #Python updates: ggplot2 4.0.0, dplyr 1.2.0, ellmer 0.4.0, Positron native Jupyter Notebook support , and more. 🎟️ Plus, registration for posit::conf(2026) is officially OPEN! Find it here: posit.co/blog/posit-g...

Uh-oh, these might be the droids you're looking for... The number one request after every webRios demo was Android support. Early stage, but we have a working R console inside a native Android view. #rstats #webr #android

I’m happy to announce Rapp v0.3.0 — a package that makes it easy to build and share polished CLI applications written in R. Read more: www.tidyverse.org/blog/2026/02...

"The core of the library is written in C. However, major modern languages like C++, Java, and C# are not supported." :D Gem from a rejection for a paper on a project I no longer work on.

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Isabella @ivelasq3.bsky.social, formerly a data analyst, now at @posit.co, and your curator this week! There’s always something new in #RStats. I'll be sharing: ✨ Favorite R packages + workflows ✨ News + tools you might have missed ✨ #PositConf2025 recaps ✨ A decade of R memes 🎉

I'm considering writing a proposal for R Consortium ISC funding to write a free & open source book on LLMs/AI in R. Advice out there is scattered between different resources. Wondering if this is something the wider #rstats community would be interested in, & what folks would like to see in there?

Hey #rstats friends! 👋 Only one week to go until my "Introduction to R Packages" tutorial at #WOMBAT2025! This is a gentle introduction to making R packages, going from initial code to `devtools::check()` Still plenty of spots available :) Sign up at: wombat2025.numbat.space

We still have spots available for tidyverse dev day on Sept 19: www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/07.... Please come along to contribute to the tidyverse and have a bunch of fun along the way! It's open to all, but is most convenient if you're coming to posit::conf or live near Atlanta #rstats

In case you didn't know: You can run your package unit tests with {testthat} in parallel with two simple steps (see testthat.r-lib.org/articles/par...): tldr: 1. Add `Config/testthat/parallel: true` to DESCRIPTION. 2. Add `TESTTHAT_CPUS=8` to your .Renviron and restart R. #rstats

Hello #dataBS (& especially #TidyTuesday) fam! I'm trying to organize a thing to help me keep TidyTuesday running smoothly, but first I need to get a bit of a runway. Every week I curate a TT dataset, and it's wearing me down. Please see github.com/rfordatascie... for some ways you can help! #RStats

Hi #rstats! Does anyone know of any good free online self-paced comprehensive R video courses for complete beginners? Ideally, with interactive exercises that would be automatically checked, and the ability to gain certificates. Thanks!

Excited to share a new #rstats project: ggplot2 layer explorer #shiny app! My latest experiment in demystifying ggplot2 internals gives you interactive control over the rendering pipeline. I hope this helps make the internals more accessible and, most importantly, fun! 😄 github.com/yjunechoe/gg...

At Posit, we love @typst.app: ⚡ Make PDFs in milliseconds, not minutes ✨ The power of LaTeX with today's technologies ✍️ Modern typography (including emojis!) 🧠 Clear mental model So I'm thrilled to announce that we're now supporting its development: posit.co/blog/posit-a... #rstats
