Without trusted data, insurers can't meet internal or regulatory requirements to offer products across geographies; forcing the state to step in as insurer of last resort. This is an unacceptable risk to taxpayers. Congress, do your damn job!

A great keynote this morning! Thank you so much, @jdlong.cerebralmastication.com!

I love how tiny I am. Tiny and mighty 💪(within a localized area / your experience will vary).

I want a national rail service that supports a realistic alternative to regional air and bus travel.

Every once in a while I get really angry that the US doesn't have reliable, timely, and affordable rail travel all across the country.

I've worked with Claude to create a natural-language interface to Census data. It generates #RStats tidycensus code to answer a user's query. If of interest, here's the R package with the usual disclaimers (AI can make mistakes! Check the code! Use at your own risk!) github.com/smach/census... #ddj

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

I just spent the last week cooking and baking for my family and it was all just my way of saying I love you. There's nothing better than when my family eats the food I make them and they leave the table sated and happy.

What's your new year's resolution? Mine is 3840x2160

You've found yourself in the empowering-yet-very-painful part of R's C API! @yutannihilation-en.bsky.social has a great page on the functional API see yutannihilation.github.io/R-fun-API/ and then there's this wonderful (though terse) resource on the R-API aitap.codeberg.page/R-api/

And, as always, there's R's C API Bible™: Writing R Extensions (cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/...) Anything mentioned in here was canonically "API" but that's changing with this fun new push! :)

RSMF grant and the STF grant are both providing the R Foundation and the #rstats community a solid opportunity to modernise the infrastructure and lay the ground work for the next 10 years of language roadmap while mentoring new R Core members and enabling the community to participate directly.
