Very excited to be in Luxembourg - with the Aging, Cancer, & Disparaties Research Unit green mascot - to launch the RESCOM lecture series in causal inference! Future speakers from an amazing lineup include @georgiatomova.bsky.social, @miguelhernan.org, Mats Stenrund, & @dingdingpeng.the100.ci!

ryxpress, a #Python package for building reproducible pipelines using #Nix as the underlying build tool: b-rodrigues.github.io/ryxpress/

Friends, I’ll be giving a lecture titled "Best practices for doing science with data" at the Luxembourg Institute of Health next week (online as well, don’t hesitate to register): www.lih.lu/en/event/%f0...

This is the hex logo for rixpress docs.ropensci.org/rixpress/ I am now ready for a release on CRAN!

Sorry {renv} but nix/rix is the better solution @brodriguesco.bsky.social #positconf

Thrilled to have teamed up with @cderv.bsky.social & Zhian N. Kamvar for this post on @ropensci.org: ✨ All the Ways to Programmatically Edit or Parse R Markdown / Quarto Documents ✨ ropensci.org/blog/2025/09... It's even available in French and Spanish (🙏 @yabellini.bsky.social) #RStats

This thing is the culmination of 6 months of work

I dislike using python so much I had to write a package to make using it less of a chore

ggplot2 version 4 just hit CRAN

New rix release: easily add #Julialang packages to environments now! #RStats @julialang.org

LLMs can translate R code to Python code very quickly!

Please, if you have an idea for a package, just write it and publish it on CRAN. The availability of high quality packages are one of #RStats greatest strengths, just package stuff please

I need to write a rixpress example with this package!

j’ai une proposition à faire à mes amis français

when the current solutions to a problem are not satisfactory, build your own solutions

This is why you should read Reproducible Analytical Pipelines by @brodriguesco.bsky.social kids rap4mads.eu Because if you don’t you‘ll end up having to peddle crypto on maga grifter podcasts #econsky #rstats #stats

sweet! you don't have an excuse not to build reproducible pipelines now, LLMs can assist you!

@julialang.org and #Nix enjoyers, an important PR got merged today that makes using Julia on Nix a breeze: github.com/NixOS/nixpkg... I am planning a new release of my R package rix with full support for generating Nix expressions that include Julia!

rixpress is currently in ropensci review, and I think that I've tackled most of teh reviewers suggestions. I would be very grateful if some people could give it a go, especially if you're already users of rix! b-rodrigues.github.io/rixpress/ind... #RStats

Because it's human nature, in 30 years time people will be nostalgic of Corporate Memphis

TIL CRAN now show #RStats package manuals as html as well, not just PDF cloud.r-project.org/web/packages...

almost done with my latest package, rixpress, and then it's #T time!

why do things always sound better in a foreign language? growing up as a non-native English speaker I thought that "black eyed peas" was a good name for a band until I learnt it meant pic related

mytango Kensington slimblade had a baby

one day I’ll organise a barbecue for all the users of rix (there’s half a dozen of us) here

The latest feature I've implemented in my upcoming package, rixpress. I think I'm almost done! b-rodrigues.github.io/rixpress/

Hey #RStats! I cld use some assistance. The {ggplot2} update "kind of" requires me to upgrade {hrbrthemes}. I also just got notice that CRAN is nuking {Rttf2pt1}, which {extrafont} and — hence — {hrbrthemes} depends on. Can you all make due with @eddelbuettel.com's spiffy {tinythemes}? 1/2

I'm talking about reproducibility in class today, and was inspired to make this last night after reviewing some of @brodriguesco.bsky.social 's book, raps-with-r.dev (I'm operating on about 3 or 4 layers of reproducibility)

New blog post #Python needs its CRAN brodrigues.co/posts/2025-0...

New blog post #Python needs its CRAN brodrigues.co/posts/2025-0...

Having a a central repository for packages managed with an iron grip à la CRAN fixes this. Python needs its CRAN, nothing else will fix it (even though Nix can help 😉)

please Microsoft don't mess this up, please for the love of God I'll never call your operating system WINBLOWS ever again

"AI with phd-level coding skills" goes hard if you've never seen PhD level code

if you use #RStats but also need #Python there probably isn't an easier than using rix to setup a reproducible environment for your polyglot project! It's also possible to use both rix and uv if you need to! docs.ropensci.org/rix/articles...

Signalis is a survival horror video game in which humans colonized the solar system with the help of humanoid robots. This was achieved by a German-speaking communist country, which is how you know it's a work of fiction.

Starting to read Crafting Interpreters by Robert Nystrom @brodriguesco.bsky.social brought this to my attention in preparation for learning how to craft a programming language This language is called T Language #T #TLang #OCaml

CRAN is back from holidays and updating packages is as fast as ever

thanks to @brodriguesco.bsky.social (and others) coverage of R pkgs in Nix is just great and any pkg only available on GitHub can still be used (I also worked on this feature so I might be biased). All R-users should give github.com/ropensci/rix a try.

Can now fix my rixpress package for Ropensci review and then start working on T

I had several long-standing features I've wanted to implemented for over two years, finally did thanks to LLMs. Was just too lazy to do it on my own, but letting the AI do it and just review it was just below my laziness threshold.

I'll be releasing a new version of my #RStats package chronicler which makes it easy to log functions, now it's able to log ggplots as well! b-rodrigues.github.io/chronicler/i...

I teach a course on reproducibility for the Data Science students at the University of Luxembourg, and this year the course material was revised to focus on #Nix as the canonical tool for repro: rap4mads.eu but also Functional Prog, unit testing, packaging, Docker!
