If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

I’m generally ambivalent about Liquid Glass, but if a real bubble meter sloshed around like this I would be quite frustrated

Given February is the hottest month of the year for the Coral Sea (averages 28.8°C for 1991-2020), and it’s currently at an all time record of 29.5°C, you really don’t want tropical cyclones going overhead. Warm water = Tropical Cyclone fuel www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/clim...

It’s kind of astonishing how good the Kobo’s @myscript.com-powered notebook experience is given these devices are like a third the price of a Remarkable. Genuinely did not think the hardware would be able to handle it

new package alert! {tidychain} is a #rstats packaged inspired by the below authors experience in showing how an excel file was changed / manipulated by looking at the underlying xml files to prove fraud in research datacolada.org/109package usrbinr.codeberg.page/tidychain/

We had some great sport entries to last year’s Closeread contest — get in for a great job opportunity here!

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

If left unchecked, we are racing towards a world where searching for "struggling to breastfeed" makes baby formula more expensive for you in your local supermarket (that's one dystopian example anyway)

Anyone familiar with time series animation in QGIS? I have a series of GeoTIFFs with valid (I think) timestamps in the metadata that aren’t recognized as timestamps. And the QGIS tool to automatically assign timestamps thinks a month is always 30 days. 🤷‍♂️ So I’m at something of a loss.

Try it out with Quarto 1.9.18 pre-release ;)

Very keen to play with the newly merged Typst book support in @quarto.org! Thanks, Quarto team! prerelease.quarto.org/docs/books/

The highest temperature ever recorded in Victoria is 48.8°C at Hopetoun on 7 Feb 2009. The forecast for Tuesday at Ouyen Victoria is 49°C.

Some serious heat in the northern and eastern suburbs of Melbourne tomorrow. Temperatures up to 45C as close to the CBD as Preston. Not sure i have seen a forecast for 42C at Ferny Creek - ontop of the Dandenongs - ever before You can check your location's forcast via www.bom.gov.au/australia/me...

In this post I break down the process of how I post-processed my #ggplot charts 📊 to look like they were embroidered into cloth. If you liked this effect, try it out on your own charts as well! Please let me know if something isn't clear. #rstats aman.bh/blog/2025/cr...

Rhea and I have been tracking our @nytimes.com word games (Wordle, Connections and the Mini) for the past two years. I decided to analyze our 4,200 gameplays with #rstats to determine a winner and made some festively embroidered charts with ggplot. Have a read. #dataviz aman.bh/blog/2025/tw...

Quarto friends! I need your help: We are implementing a new QMD parser in Quarto. It will be super nice. But it's a big change, and we want to minimize the impact. 1. Can you share a link to your Quarto project at github.com/quarto-dev/q... 2. repost this and let your Quarto friends know too?

Svelte...in Quarto!?! This extension by @jamesgoldie.dev looks wonderful! quarto-svelte.jamesgoldie.dev

If you missed my talk but still want some tips for writing good code for scientists, my slides are here: daxkellie.quarto.pub/a-guide-to-w... All the links and references are there too in case you want to see more! 😀🧪🌏 #ESA2025 #rstats #quartopub

dev.to/aws-builders... Building serverless apps on AWS typically involves using DynamoDB for a database as it's truly serverless. It is somewhat difficult to start with and the interface isn't super easy to navigate. The recent multi-attribute composite key support is a big win for us. (1️⃣/4️⃣) 🧵

Anyone know of a better solution for Google Chat on the desktop than the web app? The web app is really rough around the edges. Would love to sideload the iOS app, even though I'd lose the Google Meet integration.

Everyone is talking about AI and ignoring the biggest technological innovation of our time: the Bureau of Meteorology finally setting up SSL

Real excited that @vscode.dev can do OS notifications when Tasks finish now. I've been wanting this one for years — plenty of #rstats devs who want to be able to minimise their code editor while a chunky analysis runs!

My weekly newsletter is out! This week’s agenda: 🔹 Open Source of the Week - The quarto-svelte project 🔹 New learning resources - 🔹 Book of the week - R for Economic Research (second edition) by J. Renato Leripio ramikrispin.substack.com/p/issue-56-r... #rstats #ai #machinelearning #quartopub

Totally forgot that @jamesgoldie.dev is working on integrating Svelte and Quarto / R! github.com/jimjam-slam/...

There’s a special place in hell for Matter appliance manufacturers who put the pairing code in the box and not on the device itself (or, better yet, both)

There’s so much packed into plumber2, it looks rad as hell. Serving parameterised Quarto reports off an API endpoint with a single tag… so cool!

Day 2 of WOMBAT is ✨ single stream talks ✨, you'll be hearing from speakers like: @nrennie.bsky.social, @jamesgoldie.dev, @jenrichmondphd.bsky.social, @cynthiahqy.bsky.social and @harriet-mason.bsky.social and more! See all speakers: wombat2025.numbat.space/program/work... Hope to see you there!

Come along to OceaniaR in Canberra! Why? Because we'll talk about fun things you can do with #rstats all day, and work on fun projects. It's an inclusive space, with a great mix of those newer to R, as well as experienced users, too! Some examples from last year:

I'm happy to report the most important transition works perfectly simple-vt-demos.jakearchibald.com/batman-trans...

Make errors more accessible and better with #rstats package {more} by @milesmcbain.bsky.social - inspired by rustc's detailed error explanations! This idea feels so good. github.com/milesmcbain/...

THANK you so much for all your likes and shares this week. It has been super fun! I would love to connect with people who doing cool things in data, PLEASE follow me at @jenrichmondphd.bsky.social Check out my website jenrichmond.github.io and Linkedin www.linkedin.com/in/jenrichmo...

Signing off by saying that I am looking for a NEW job!! 📊 I get genuinely excited about data and creating #rstats visualizations that tell stories 🤯 I'm really good at taking complex technical stuff and making it click for people 💪 I love spotting gaps and creating things to fill them

Registration for @wombat.numbat.space is open — come along and let’s talk about scrollytelling and telling stories with data!

OK @emilhvitfeldt.bsky.social you are a day ahead of yourself. Things that make #rstats feel magic is my rocur theme for TOMORROW. But this is definitely magic: drag and drop to move and resize images in revealjs slides- you are a wizard!!

Register today for your spot in the 2025 OceaniaR Hackathon in Canberra This event is a great opportunity to learn and participate in a range of projects around data analysis, statistics, data science and R programming. Register here: statsocaus.github.io/oceaniar-hac... #rstats #datascience

Hi folks 👋 Come to WOMBAT 2025, my favourite conference! Day 1: affordable tutorials Day 2: single-stream talks Max 100 ppl: actually meet and interact with everyone And (!!) I'll be running a half-day intro to R packages, aimed at new/intermediate #rstats users. wombat2025.numbat.space

100% agree + #RStats WebR works in Notebooks 2.0 & Desktop! I went into some detail abt Notebooks & Desktop this past week: dailydrop.hrbrmstr.dev/2025/07/31/d...

It's been a while since I last shared my starter pack If you're a stats/data person in or from the Pacific region (not just Australia or Aotearoa) and would like to be included, please let me know! #statssky #episky #databs #rstats #python

I would call myself a professional pessimist and "extremely depressed about the future" but god, please stop going into people's mentions to tell them that the law/courts no longer matter or post "AND YOU'RE SURPRISED???" at them, especially so if they are actively engaged in making the world better

Absolutely blown away that my colleagues and I at CounterCurrent, along with the folks at Rainstick, are the first Aussie winners of AWS + IRCAI's Compute for Climate Fellowship. I'm super excited about the work we're doing 🥳 countercurrent.ai/news/2025-07...
