Had a little bit of fun writing up some solutions to an older Advent of Code puzzle emilhvitfeldt.com/post/advento...

We are excited to see that xgboost recently had a big CRAN release! We have worked hard on the tidymodels team to make sure you all have a smooth transition. Please yet us know if you are experiencing any issues with the releases tidyverse.org/blog/2025/12... #rstats #tidymodels

One of the neat things about working on these changes is that they carry over pretty seamlessly to {orbital}

I'm excited to announce the newest release of {tidypredict}! This release brings for standardization to outputs, faster trees for parsing and prediction, and glmnet support tidyverse.org/blog/2025/12... #rstats #tidymodels

New favorite Positron/VS Code setting: "editor.emptySelectionClipboard": false Accidentally pressing Cmd+C with nothing selected will no longer select the current line

Merry December folks! Wanna know your most used and co-dependent geoms this past year?! I've built "Spotify Wrapped" for {ggplot2} that produces you an interactive story and analytical tools for your geom usage! #rstats Build your own report by following the docs: gpcds.com/ggplot2wrapp...

Come join us! We are gonna have fun learning and doing coding puzzles

🎄 ANNOUNCEMENT: R Package Development Advent Calendar 2025! 🎄 Starting December 1st, I'm launching a 25-day journey through modern R package development. here's why you should follow along 🧵 #rstats #RPackageAdvent2025 #OpenSource

I am tremendously grateful for open source, as it’s had such a huge impact on my career. That’s one of the reasons I’m so happy that Posit has committed to the @opensourcepledge.com. Read about our contributions to non Posit projects at posit.co/blog/posit-o....

🔦 added a 'highlight_mode' to hexsession. Dim all images except the one hovered over. Thanks to @emilhvitfeldt.bsky.social for the idea! hexsession.liomys.mx #rstats

testthat 3.3.0 is here! Major updates for #RStats testing include failure messages for easier debugging, 6 new specific expectations, and the SlowReporter to find your bottlenecks. Heads Up: R 4.1+ is now required, and old mocking functions are removed. Read the post: tidyverse.org/blog/2025/11...

making cute little hexes for my data packages just make sense

#rstats Please welcome Jarl, a new R linter. Jarl is a CLI tool with extensions in VS Code, Positron, and Zed. It can check thousands of lines of R code in milliseconds. Jarl provides several output formats, a Github Actions workflow, and more. Blog post: www.etiennebacher.com/posts/2025-1...

Did a very small release of quarto-revealjs-editable. hopefully it is able to make your work a little smoother github.com/EmilHvitfeld...

We are excited to share a few updates happening in tidymodels in this blog post! tidyverse.org/blog/2025/11...

I did a craft! cross stitched our little recipes cupcake

I'm reminded of how handy the usethis::browse_*() functions are and thought I'd remind people they exist. Choose from a menu of links or go straight to CRAN or GitHub. #rstats

I recently gave a talk on hyperparameter tuning in #tidymodels at Posit Day for University of Wisconsin. Nothing new in the slides but wanted to share regardless emilhvitfeldt.com/talk/2025-11...

If you, like me, can't remember all the Sass variables when creating #quarto #revealjs slides. I found a semi hacky way to help myself here. Using code snippets in VS Code & Positron allow us to get pretty good completion in our style sheets slidecrafting-book.com/miscellaneou...

the only experience Californians have with umbrellas is listening to that one Rihanna song and it shows. I'm surprised i still have 2 eyes left

Buying crafting material and using crafting materials are two separate hobbies

Come work with us! We are so excited to announce this new position. With the same core goal; making modeling easier for users

oh no, i had another idea

So i might have discovered a way to make new transition/fragments in revealjs slides. Maybe a little ⭐ transition is on the horizon

We are looking for #rstats community feedback on 3 new dplyr functions! We're aiming to expand the `filter()` family: - `filter()` to keep rows - `filter_out()` to drop rows - `when_any()` and `when_all()` as modifiers Read more and leave feedback here: github.com/tidyverse/ti...

If you go to my slidecrafting book you will no longer see this callout box. This is because we now include examples of how to use fragments to advance tabsets of any lengths in quarto revealjs slides slidecrafting-book.com/fragments#ta... #quarto

As I have been writing slides with quarto and reveal.js I found myself writing similar styling code. I have finally gotten myself together and extracted some of those classes out into an Quarto extension. Heavily inspired by tailwindcss github.com/EmilHvitfeld...

I'm excited to share a new version of the Air formatter for #rstats, with support for tabular formatting! Super useful with `tibble::tribble()` calls or `data.table::fcase()`. It's currently experimental as we're looking to get feedback on the feature, so please let us know what you think.

Gave a talk about orbital last week at Socal RUG, it was delightful as always to spend time with these people. Slides: emilhvitfeldt.github.io/talk-orbital... Recording: www.youtube.com/live/pm-Ve3w...

Don’t cut yourself with a freshly sharpened knife

I'll be going live in 2.5 hours for Socal RUG, talking about how to use orbital to do model predictions in the cloud. This is a joint in-person and online event www.meetup.com/socal-rug/ev... #rstats #tidymodels #databs

❗️Our next workshop will be on Oct 16th, 6 pm CEST titled Structural Bayesian Techniques for Experimental and Behavioral Economics in R& Stan by @jamesbland.bsky.social Register or sponsor a student by donating to support Ukraine! Details: bit.ly/3wBeY4S Please share! #AcademicSky #EconSky #RStats

I made a new quarto revealjs template based on Pechakucha, a presentation format where you have 20 slides that auto-advances after 20 seconds. Once started you will not be able to stop it. And it will make sure you have 20 slides whether you like it or not github.com/EmilHvitfeld...

It's super cool! I used it for a bonus part TidyTuesday two years ago, making a tune out of Taylor Swift song data, saved as an mp3. Spoiler: the tune wasn't/isn't very good! github.com/borstell/tid...

Excited to watch the webinar on "Modular, interoperable, and extensible topological data analysis in R" next week by Jason Cory Brunson and Aymeric Stamm r-consortium.org/webinars/mod... #tidymodels

Late minute reminder! we are starting in 10 minutes

The new ggplot2 4.0.0 is here! 🎉 This major update includes a foundational rewrite of S7 and user benefits such as smarter labeling and a revamped theming system. Check the details: www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/09... BONUS: Join the release party on Oct 3, 3pm ET. bit.ly/join-gg-extenders #RStats

Added a new section to my slidecrafting book about how to use CSS to change the code syntax highlighting to better match your theme colors slidecrafting-book.com/colors#code-...

I'm excited to contribute to Workshops for Ukraine! I'll be giving a workshop on effective and useful feature engineering on October 2nd! sites.google.com/view/dariia-...

I am super hyped to finally share the first release of plumber2 with all of you. This has been the center of my attention for a big part of 2025 and I hope you'll find it a worthy update to the venerable plumber package. The blog post will tell you more #rstats

Quick little update to quarto-revealjs-editable Now works with `::: editable` in addition to `::: {.editable}`. Not shown in gif. github.com/EmilHvitfeld... #quarto

I'm exited to announce a new resource about making slides with quarto and revealjs. This book is the combination of all the work I have done in this area, reordered and polished up There isn't a lot of new information yet, but this format allows me to add more easily slidecrafting-book.com #quarto

Excited to speak at our first hybrid event, meaning that all of you can watch along at home! We have seen many people seen tremendous speed improvements by using orbital to deploy their models. I'll talk about talk about how it works, how to use it and maybe some new developments!

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

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...
