100 stars🎉 Savvy is a niche framework for those who want to use Rust in an R package yet extendr is not their fit, so I didn't expect to see so much stars! github.com/yutannihilat...

Bloody AI is everywhere

Happy to announce ✨quarto-revealjs-editable✨ This fully supersedes the imagemover extension, as I back then didn't realize the potential. You can now also move, resize, change font size and alignment for text in your slides github.com/EmilHvitfeld... #quarto #slidecrafting

Scripts to avoid recomputation compared: dagster in #python vs {targets} in #rstats. gist.github.com/jrosell/e283...

📢 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

Has anybody come up with a solution to this problem: you have a perfectly reproducible analysis pipeline that produces beautiful dynamic reports. But once you bring on even one collaborator things immediately devolve into email-attached word documents named manuscript_finalFinal_2.docx #rstats

Which language serves as the geospatial lingua franca — #pythonor #rstats? A quick look at Google Trends suggests R, but that’s a rather simplistic comparison. Has anyone come across a more in-depth study on the most popular languages for spatial analysis?

I know I'm biased, but maaaan, Formalist and Air work so well together in the latest Positron update. Dear #rstats, you should give Positron a try. 💨 Air — posit-dev.github.io/air/ 🎩 Formalist — github.com/atsyplenkov/...

It still bugs me that nrow() in #RStats is called nrow() and not nrows(). I type it wrong every time.

To all new {wbw} users, please note that the package is still under active development, with only about 7% of the planned features currently implemented 🐢💨

Consider this: to slow down #AI development, the community could deliberately mislabel correct answers as incorrect. By doing so, the false positive rate would rise, confusing the #LLM and disrupting its learning process. 🤖🤔

A couple of years ago, I saw this life hack on Twitter and cannot commend the unknown author enough. This is the best use of pop sockets! Very handy for reading kindle on the go

a lazy organizational tip for data analysts and researchers: create a single directory that holds all the exploratory or one-off scripts that don't yet have a proper home mine is called misc_R once a year (like today!) I satisfyingly shove the prior year's files into a subdirectory

I do like the vertical stack plots. Looks gorgeous

Fellow #rstats users working on WSL, has anyone successfully run Positron from a nix-shell? I’m struggling to configure a custom path to the R binaries when loading from the nix-shell. A more detailed question can be found here github.com/ropensci/rix... @brodriguesco.bsky.social ,any thoughts?

I just realized there’s no emoji to represent data frames, databases, or even spreadsheets! What do you typically use #rstats #databs ? Here are my favorites so far: • 🗄️ this cabinet reminds me of data storage • 🗓️ if you squint, it might resemble a spreadsheet with all its cells • 📊⚾️ data base?

Damn, air by @posit.co dev is so good

Ditching code autocompletion feels so freaking good 🍹. It was an illusion to think it actually speeds up #rstats code writing. For the past month, my workflow has been opening the same project in Positron and Cursor. If I get stuck, I start chatting with an LLM in Cursor.

🎉 New in Formalist for Positron IDE: Fix lints in #rstats code on demand! Select your code, hit a button, and let {flint} by @etiennebacher.bsky.social handle the rest. 🚀 Works on selected text only 🔧 Customizable with flint::setup_flint() 🌐 github.com/atsyplenkov/...

Day 2 of porting my favorite RStudio addons to Positron. Introducing Formalist, an extension that allows you to make R function calls explicit, i.e., from select(mtcars, cyl) → dplyr::select(mtcars, cyl). It uses {pedant} #rstats 📦 by @wurli in the background!

Why is the mouse pointer pixel perfect on Windows 10, while the zoom magnifier is pixelated?

I am in Auckland this week and doing a little bit of an #rstats tour in addition to attending the NZMS conference. The first photo is by me and the second photo is by Ross Ihaka. Black Crow Cafe seems to have closed so I grabbed a drink at the Scarecrow Cafe two shops down.

What a trailer and review by David Ehrlich ♥️ #Parthenope youtu.be/uT5PGHBugic?...

#RStats I'm so happy to finally share what we've been experimenting on at ThinkR for the past couple of weeks — A native mobile app that can run R code through #webR Read more at 👉 rtask.thinkr.fr/youve-been-w...

(R)USLE will fix it

🐙 GitHub, 🐥Twitter or ☁️ BlueSky Here's a guide on where to say hi!

seems timely: after 8 years, I'm comfortable enough in my career that i can share "my truth" about {data.table} in #rstats one of the former {data.table} devs got me fired from my job at DataCamp b/c i chimed in on an "dplyr vs data.table" twitter thread.

Hey, #rstats has anyone used cursor.ai for development? I'm curious, are you using `.cursor_rules`? I recently tried creating one and TBH, it works mediocre; it seems like most of my rules were ignored. Please share yours if you have any!

It suddenly feels like we're back... are we back!? 😭 #rstats

Is it just me, or is everyone's #GitHub feed just become filled with stars from random users?

New 📦 alert! {mall} is out now for both #rstats...and #python! The package uses #llm 's to run NLP operations recursively over a data frame (sentiment, summarization, translation, etc). For Python it's a #polars extension. Both use #ollama to interact with the LLM. mlverse.github.io/mall/

Huge update to the {pastum} VS Code extension — you can now control the decimal separator (point or comma). Paste as default dataframe is now sensitive to the editor language, so you can easily paste in your favorite format with just one click. See some showcases below. pastum.anatolii.nz

Great intro! I have been using it for months and there are almost no issues. If there are any, the @posit.co is very responsive on GitHub! BTW Positron does not support automatic updates yet, but windows-folks can do it semi-manually via scoop.sh and the r-bucket maintained by @cderv.bsky.social

it's wild that R, the ubiquitous statistical computing language, was co-created by a Māori prof (Ross Ihaka) — and yet the vast majority of scientists who use R don't know this is like inventing the toaster. possibly the largest impact of a single member of an indigenous community on modern science
