This week’s #RLadies curator is @ivelasq3.bsky.social!

I’m excited for #PositConf2025 next week! Can’t wait to talk to y’all! I wanna hear what you are working on, and always happy to talk about what I have been up to. Especially keen to talk to people that have tried orbital about your experience. Also bringing special edition kittymodels stickers

🎯 Play to Win at posit::conf(2025) Earn points for showing up, joining in, and geeking out. Then cash them in for limited-edition Posit swag. It’s fun. It’s free. It’s happening. Are you game? 🎟️ posit.co/conference #RStats #PositConf2025 #Python

People keep telling me they can't afford to attend #PositConf2025 next week, so I need to make a public service announcement: attending virtually is very affordable (or free!) & is amazing! Get registered & hangout with me on the Discord server!! #databs #rstats #python

It is a month that ends in “ber”, I’m gonna play Christmas music. I don’t make the rules

I’m especially proud of this article I wrote about Gaussian Processes for the Recast blog! 🥳 GPs are super interesting, but it’s not easy to wrap your head around them at first 🤔 This is a medium level (more intuition than math) introduction to GPs for time series. getrecast.com/gaussian-pro...

New from Posit! The August Glimpse newsletter is here, featuring the new free IDE Positron, complete with LLM-powered tools Positron Assistant and Databot. Plus, updates to Quarto and Shiny for Python! Check out the post here: posit.co/blog/posit-g... #RStats #Python

Version 2.0.0 of quarto-revealjs-editable now lets you edit the text in divs github.com/EmilHvitfeld... #quarto

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

Announcing new Quarto resources for Positron users! The Quarto website now has extensive resources for those interested in using Positron to create beautiful reports, dashboards, presentations, and more. Check out the updated documentation here: quarto.org/docs/get-sta...

You should always read what Emily writes and this is not an exception!

Dev and deploy require of diff skills. @getdbt.com bridges the gap for #data pipelines, but what about MLOps? I explored how @posit.co {orbital} + dbt delivers "good enough" zero-infra MLOps for batch model scoring in database from python or #rstats models www.emilyriederer.com/post/orbital... 1/

If you are excited about this, stay tuned! we have something in the works that I think is a little bit cooler

Excited to share my newest quarto revealjs plugin: imagemover Easily reposition and resize images directly in your quarto revealjs slides for a much smoother slidecrafting experience github.com/EmilHvitfeld... #quarto

some light teasing for an upcoming quarto revealjs plugin I have been working on

Thanks so much to everyone who made #useR2025 another magical weekend of #rstats inspiration. 💙 I can't wait to try out all the new things and check out all the new corners of this rad community. Until next time, weiRdos! 🏴‍☠️

Huge 👏👏👏 to @calpolyslo.bsky.social WunderKind @visruth.com for his #useR2025 talk on {flourish}! 🌟{flourish} is a Quarto extension for adding highlighting to source code chunks - the successor to {flair} in Rmd. 🔗 V's slides: visruth.com/flourish-talk 🔗 Github: github.com/kbodwin/flourish

So happy to talk about our work on sparsity at #useR2025 today! Slides for anyone interested emilhvitfeldt.com/talk/2025-08...

Pretty stoked to learn about {medley} by @jbryer.bsky.social !!! 🎶 Basically, divides your dataset into subsets by patterns of missingness, and fits separate models on each. SO MUCH BETTER than imputation!!! (he says he doesn't use bsky but I'm tagging him for cred anyways 😆)

You can watch Hadley's keynote at this link: www.youtube.com/live/ctc2kx3... #useR2025

At useR! 2025? Join us at the R-Ladies networking event today, Friday, Aug 8! 💜 Thank you to R-Ladies RTP for organizing! 🤗 #rstats #rladies user2025.r-project.org/additional/r...

The limited run of the #rstats stacks hex for this year's posit::conf is confirmed🥞🥞🥞 I'll have a batch of peaches & cream stickers, come say hi to pick one up! posit.co/conference/

Slides from yesterdays talk "Don't be dense, embracing sparsity in tidymodels" are live if you are interested! emilhvitfeldt.github.io/talk-slc-spa...

Join us now to hear from Emil! 🙌

Excited to speak at Salt Lake City R Users Group tomorrow about how we added more sparsity support in tidymodels www.meetup.com/slc-rug/even...

I'm intrigued by the potential* for @posit.co 's {orbital} package to translates ML prediction logic to SQL, but for now it doesn't *officially* support xgboost In this post, I explain some hacks to use orbital + xgboost and what I learned about ONNX www.emilyriederer.com/post/orbital... #data

Excited to see orbital taking off! Enable a more streamlined MLOps using SQL

I'm excited to speak at SLC RUG on Tuesday about all the sparsity work I have been doing over the last couple of years! This my first talk about this topic www.meetup.com/slc-rug/even...

Happy 18th birthday ggplot2! #rstats

Is #rstats dead? I don’t think so.

Being able to productionize a ML model is often the goal, however there are many things to keep track of when you do. The orbital package lets you translate your fitted scikit-learn or tidymodels model into SQL that that when run produces predictions. posit.co/blog/databri... #python #rstats

Now that conference season is upon us, I'm to share some of my slidecrafting projects and tips. If you really care about having images line up perfectly with with the slides? use this #quarto revealjs template. It was inspired by xaringan in design github.com/emilhvitfeld...

I was going through some of my projects with size in mind and I found that my quarto revealjs earth theme was very badly optimized. This has been fixed now, with a 90% decrease in file sizes github.com/EmilHvitfeld...

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

Who's going to write the r plugin?

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

DuckDB Labs is looking for software engineer interns: duckdblabs.com/jobs/Softwar... Apply until June 15 and join us in Amsterdam!

Mastering typefaces and fonts in #rstats has always been harder than it should. I have tried to collect much of my relevant knowledge in this deep-dive blog post so you can spend your time picking the right typeface instead of cursing at the computer

I recently tried to make some of the #Quarto websites I manage a little faster to load. Wrote up some of the things I did emilhvitfeldt.com/post/quarto-...

the writers have given up at this point

Turns out I created some pretty badly optimized hexes before I learned Adobe Illustrator. Knowing what i know now I recreated all my hexes to be more space efficient github.com/emilhvitfeld...

@malcolmbarrett.malco.io & I will be doing another Causal Inference workshop on Tuesday (and it will be my birthday!!) join us!

I wrote up a little blog post comparing the runtime and memory allocation of how we used to create dummy variables with the new sparse support I added in tidymodels emilhvitfeldt.com/post/sparse-... #rstats #tidymodels
