pkgload 1.4.1 is now on CRAN, with many fixes for the generation of `compile_commands.json`. If you write C/C++ code in your packages with Positron or VS Code (or any IDE with the clangd LSP), make sure to update. Thanks a lot to all contributors! #rstats

New blog post! @posit.co Positron doesn't use Rproj files tofor #rstats projects—instead you open folders in the IDE directly. Opening folders can be a little tricky though. This shortcut lets you right click on a folder in macOS Finder to open a it in Positron! www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/07...

Bleeding edge update for the #tidyverse purrr package with even more seamless #rstats parallel maps. Introducing our shiniest new adverb: `in_parallel()`. Just wrap your function to take advantage of blazing fast parallel processing via mirai. pak::pak("tidyverse/purrr") purrr.tidyverse.org/dev/
