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

I really want to move to #Positron for #RStats pkg dev, but I keep running into things that I feel like @jennybryan.bsky.social can't POSSIBLY put up with. Latest blocker: I religiously use ctrl+t and ctrl+r (from test file *or* R file) to frequently check tests & covr per github.com/posit-conf-2...

I have loved working with @ropensci.org so much! ❤️ For the qualtRics package specifically, we are currently looking for a new maintainer as I no longer deal with Qualtrics as part of my daily work. If you are a user of both #rstats and Qualtrics, let's chat: github.com/ropensci/qua...

tibblify 0.4.0 tibblify.wrangle.zone is on CRAN! cran.r-project.org/package=tibb... It was archived in December, and I love it, so I volunteered to take it over and get it back out there. I've now read/refactored every line of code, updated docs, and fixed/improved various functions #RStats

We have friends everywhere.

I was told it was easy to remember the north-south streets in downtown Austin (www.google.com/maps/@30.267...), because "They're in the same order as the major rivers of Texas", as if obviously everyone would know all the major rivers of Texas and where they flowed into the Gulf of Mexico. 1/2

I collect definitions of the word "computer", bound together with definitions of other words. My current oldest is from the 4-volume Universal Dictionary of the English Language (1897), newest came today in @merriam-webster.com 's 12th Collegiate Dictionary (2025)

@merriam-webster.com the podcast worked! Somehow I missed that this came out. Can we get more new episodes???

Curating a #TidyTuesday dataset is a great way to build skills in web scraping, cleaning Excel files in #RStats, or writing data dictionaries! Need some help? Intro to web scraping post: nrennie.rbind.io/blog/2023-03... How to contribute to #TidyTuesday by @jonthegeek.com: youtu.be/W9yiDm8Y8tA

roxygen2 8.0.0 out now: opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-05... ! So many goodies in this release including S7 support, tons of R6 improvement, a new config style, fewer dependencies, and so so many bug fixes #rstats

📣 Last day for @rconsortium.bsky.social grant submissions! My (unofficial) Tips: - Small scoped R 📦 (or improvement) / tool - ~6 - 12 month duration - 3-7k ask is the sweet spot Spend 45-60 mins with your thoughts to write a proposal! r-consortium.org/all-projects... #rstats

Much of my research focuses on #fisheries, so I couldn't help focusing on seafood product tariff rates for my own Week 17 #TidyTuesday submission 🦀 🐟 I also used it as a means to play around with some of the #AI tools in Positron! A bit about my process below ⤵️

It's #TidyTuesday! I'm so inspired by others' #dataviz, so I'll be reposting some content throughout the day as it pops up (and maybe I'll contribute something myself if I can find time today!) 📊🗺️📈🎨

This week's #TidyTuesday is about agricultural tariffs in the US. Today I've been working some more on #ggsql, so here is a ggsql plot! Code: gist.github.com/georgestagg/...

Do you have a dataset you'd like to see visualised (live, by me)?! Submit it for #TidyTuesday and then come along to the Posit Data Science Lab on May 12! 📊 #RStats #DataViz

AHEM. Wanna influence what dataset we use live at the #DSLab with @nrennie.bsky.social on May 12?! Time to submit your curated dataset NOW!! Nicola is #TidyTuesday royalty, & she'll be joining us to share her data viz process from concept to execution, including the tools she's created over time!

🚀 Officially on CRAN: deckroadmap 0.1.4! Stop losing your audience in Revealjs slides. Add automated, section-aware roadmap footers to Quarto & Rmd. ✅ 3 styles (pill, minimal, progress) ✅ Custom colors ✅ install.packages("deckroadmap") 📖 Story & Demo: tigertang.org/deckroadmap/ #rstats #quarto

Just released mori 0.1.0 on CRAN — a new R package for shared memory across processes. Parallel R no longer has to mean duplicating your dataset in every worker's RAM. opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-04... 🧵 1/3

It's #RStats Update Day for all those who celebrate! People have tricks and systems for making sure all their packages get re-installed, but I'm a fan of starting fresh and re-installing only when I actually use something, particularly since I try lots of random pkgs to answer DSLC.io questions!

Yay, @rpodcast.bsky.social and @mike-thomas.bsky.social are back! Their absence made it feel like there wasn't much news out of #RStats in the last month or so 🙃

I'm planning on a GIANT roxygen2 release in the near future (tons of bug fixes, improved R6 support, new S7 support, ...) so if you use for your packages, I'd really appreciate you trying it out and letting me know if you see any problems! github.com/r-lib/roxyge... #rstats

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing on 1 April of Tomáš Kalibera, a valuable member of the R Core Team for close to 10 years, after a short but aggressive illness. Tomáš is survived by his wife and 1 year old son. A full obituary will be posted in due time.

I previously scheduled social media posts to "live blog" a talk I was giving, but I'm thinking this time I'll run it through #GenAI so I won't know exactly what it will say about my talk... #RStats #PositConf2026

My "Design of Everyday R Functions" talk is in the "R Nerds" block Wednesday afternoon up against the "AI in Data Science" block 😭 But my talk includes tips for making your code work better with AI, so you really get 2 blocks for the price of 1 with Team Nerd 🤓💪🤖! #RStats #PositConf2026

I got about a 9x speed-up from my first "implement this in C" ticket for Github Copilot (github.com/wranglezone/...). It was already pretty fast, but now it's faster! Setting it loose on some more character manipulation... #RStats #GenAI #CLang #IDontKnowThatHashtag
