Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp.... genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

My useR! 2025 talk on Web APIs with R is now available on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPMs... I showed the basic workflow of {httr2} and how to create fictional stories by calling LLM provider APIs. #RStats

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.

Friendly reminder, after 2038 integer representations of datetime are larger than 32-bits #POSIXct

I regret to inform you that Claude Sonnet 4.5 cannot one-shot developing an R package of moderate complexity. We now return you to your regularly scheduled AI hypefest programming.

Similar to what Elizabeth said, first check to make sure there are no duplicates (janitor::get_dupes is one way in R). Then decide what type of join you want to do. Names will also need to be identical across datasets. I give several examples of how to join in R here: cghlewis.com/blog/joins/

so stoked about this caffeine chalice! thanks @posit.co @libbyheeren.bsky.social

#RStats community, what interesting projects are you working on that are not related to AI?

So many customization options available with the {cli} package. cli.r-lib.org/articles/sem...

I’m not letting an LLM write __MY_CODE__. I’m perfectly capable of producing my own slop.

Inspired by the posit virtual day talk by @mwavu.com and @john-coene.com, trying my hands at ambiorix to create a multi-page app. Pardon the ugly colors but this is working great. #RStats

Working on some games to explain the usage of Drift Diffusion Model (DDM) in stroop and braking tasks. This is for a work-in-progress website. Using JS and shiny. #RStats

just discovered body() and formlas() which are handy to capture a formulas arguments and body if you are trying to do some metaprogramming #rstats

Really insightful post from Julie Tibshirani (spotted in LinkedIn, can't find on Bsky) reflecting on #rstats 's unique governance structure and what can be learned for other languages jtibs.substack.com/p/if-all-the...

IMO there’s no reason to use styler any more. Air is just as good and hundreds of times faster

Whole entire extra day of #positconf, anyone? All Virtual!! Come hang with me on Tuesday Sept 16th (day before talks!) from 11am to 4pm ET. We'll have an AMA with Rich Iannone, a full talk session, a DS Hangout style Q&A session, and a Trivia Night game with swag prizes!! #databs #rstats #python

{tinytable} 0.13.0 for #RStats can now draw interactive tables with sorting, filtering & pages! And the 📦 is still an ultra-simple, powerful, and 0-dep way to create beautiful tables in basically any format: tex, typ, docx, pdf, png, md, etc Gallery & Docs: vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable/

Now on CRAN, ggdiagram is a #ggplot2 extension that draws diagrams programmatically in #Rstats. Allows for precise control in how objects, labels, and equations are placed in relation to each other. wjschne.github.io/ggdiagram/ar...

#rstats hive mind: Is it possible to *not* export S3 methods which are used totally internally, yet still make use of the S3 dispatch internally for the custom classes in the package?

#rstats Seen over at Mastodon: the `terminalgraphics` 📦 let's you render R plots _directly_ in a terminal window (e.g., R process launched from the command line, neovim or emacs). codeberg.org/djvanderlaan... Get it: `remotes::install_git(url = "https://codeberg.org/djvanderlaan/terminalgraphics")`

#rstats — I’m trying to read an excel file with readxl. It has text values in it but for reason it is only pulling up blank. Anyone experienced this before?

#rstats folks, what do you think of the idea of a package that generates _brand.yml, color palettes, ggplot2 color/fill scales, themes, and quarto based website skeleton, all created with a user prompt (optionally image uploads)? The goal is to provide consistent branding in your projects.

Using #RStats to simulate the sky for the full day of July 30th, 2025 in Washington, DC (what's coming in the future for #rayshader: give a lat, long, and time of day, and render an image with not only the exact sun orientation at that time, but a realistic simulation of the atmosphere as well🧑‍🍳 🤌)

Excited to attend my first useR! Conference in August and meet other R users. I'm looking forward to attend the Causal ML and Arrow/DuckDB workshops. Also, I'll be talking about Web APIs with {httr2} and {ellmer} during my talk on Aug. 9th. #rstats #useR

wow... cool stuff... seems really well thought out!! If I can suggest something, just allow for trailing commas! The rest is not so important :D

#rstats Dev Diary {leopard} pkg "Dev Leopard" is a new graphics device which simply(!) captures all the data transferred when plotting. You can use that data any way you'd like to recreate the plot! E.g. new hardware device, alternate SVG rendering backend etc.
