"Oops, Git! How to recover from common mistakes" 🙈 Come learn some Git with me and {saperlipopette} at Workshops for Ukraine! Thursday, March 19th, 14:00 - 16:00 CET (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone) sites.google.com/view/dariia-... Organized by @dariia.bsky.social 🙏 #RStats

We are responding to this call for evidence: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... Do you have concrete examples of the added value of #Rstats in the public or private sectors? Include the most important factors (risk, lock-in, security, innovation...) to assess the added value. Thanks!

Jakub, @nowosad.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy you got some press!

I am very happy to announce that I will be a keynote speaker at useR!2026 in Warsaw! Hope to see many incredible members of #RStats community in person there 😀

❗️Our next workshop will be on Jan 15 , 6 pm CET titled R package development in Positron by @stephenturner.us Register or sponsor a student by donating to support Ukraine! Details: bit.ly/3wBeY4S Please share! #AcademicSky #EconSky #RStats

I'm excited to announce the newest release of {tidypredict}! This release brings for standardization to outputs, faster trees for parsing and prediction, and glmnet support tidyverse.org/blog/2025/12... #rstats #tidymodels

🎄 ANNOUNCEMENT: R Package Development Advent Calendar 2025! 🎄 Starting December 1st, I'm launching a 25-day journey through modern R package development. here's why you should follow along 🧵 #rstats #RPackageAdvent2025 #OpenSource

Just got back from the great uRos (The Use of #RStats in Official Statistics) 2025 conference in Bucharest. 🇷🇴 🙏 - My Git tutorial "Painlessly Improve Your Git History" masalmon.eu/talks/2025-1... - My keynote talk "R Packages, good vibes only" masalmon.eu/talks/2025-1...

#rstats Please welcome Jarl, a new R linter. Jarl is a CLI tool with extensions in VS Code, Positron, and Zed. It can check thousands of lines of R code in milliseconds. Jarl provides several output formats, a Github Actions workflow, and more. Blog post: www.etiennebacher.com/posts/2025-1...

We are looking for #rstats community feedback on 3 new dplyr functions! We're aiming to expand the `filter()` family: - `filter()` to keep rows - `filter_out()` to drop rows - `when_any()` and `when_all()` as modifiers Read more and leave feedback here: github.com/tidyverse/ti...

Oh. My. Gosh. Data Science Lab was SO FUN today! Just casually sharing screens to walk through settings live was incredible. I'm gonna start a thread here of some of the stuff we shared/learned together as a community. Great stuff was shared by all! #databs #rstats #python 🧵 1/n

I just gave a 20m overview of the #TabPFN deep learning model at R/Pharma. The slides are at: topepo.github.io/2025-r-pharma/ (link to Quarto files on the second slide)

I'll be keynoting at R/Pharma a week from today! The conference is free and virtual. I'll be focused on the mundane use cases of LLMs for wrangling data with #rstats, and the content should feel applicable for folks outside of pharma—come through. :) Register: events.zoom.us/ev/Ai-geyS63...

#rstats/ #databs storytime 🧵 I have a good friend who I haven't talked to regularly for a time. While catching up with her, she lamented having to take stats courses for her PhD program (she's in archeology/anthro). I offered to help her study, and she put me off, saying she couldn't ask that. 1/n

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

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.

I'll be keynoting at R/Pharma in a few weeks! The conference is free and virtual; all are welcome to join. My talk "Practical AI for data science" is on November 5th and should be broadly accessible for #rstats users, regardless of industry. :) Learn more & register: rinpharma.com

I'm excited to contribute to Workshops for Ukraine! I'll be giving a workshop on effective and useful feature engineering on October 2nd! sites.google.com/view/dariia-...

I shared this earlier because I think it is so funny but then I also thought to myself, what advice would I (a learning scientist by background, married to someone who teaches programming) actually give a developer who feels bad reading this? How can you avoid writing this? A few tips:

"How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me, a beginner" by Annie Mueller 😅 😂 😭 anniemueller.com/posts/how-i-...

This week’s #RLadies curator is @ivelasq3.bsky.social!

The equivalent of the Bechdel test for a tech-ish event is “is there a line for the womens bathroom?” and #positconf just passed with flying colours 😅

Can't wait to see everyone at posit::conf(2025)!! Here's my annual "things to do" list for food, coffee, bakeries, and bars near conf! #positconf2025 #rstats docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I’m excited for #PositConf2025 next week! Can’t wait to talk to y’all! I wanna hear what you are working on, and always happy to talk about what I have been up to. Especially keen to talk to people that have tried orbital about your experience. Also bringing special edition kittymodels stickers

I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN. It's not every day we have a new major #ggplot2 release but it is a fitting 18 year birthday present for the package. Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats

If you'd like to contribute to the tidyverse or tidymodels packages -- or learn how to -- join us at the tidyverse developer day! There are some tickets left for underrepresented minorities. #RStats #RLadies More info in the blog post: www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/07...

So stoked to share about the first release of the Posit AI Newsletter! @sara-altman.bsky.social and I have been working on a pilot of this newsletter internally for a few months now—an opinionated and pragmatic snapshot of AI news released every two weeks. First edition: posit.co/blog/2025-08...

Extra day of virtual fun added to posit::conf(2025)! Join us on Sept 16 for a full day of virtual talks and activities. P.S. The conference Discord is now open to all. Come hang out! 🔗 Login for Discord instructions: pos.it/conf-event-portal 🔗 Learn about Virtual Day: posit.co/blog/posit-c...

Happy to announce ✨quarto-revealjs-editable✨ This fully supersedes the imagemover extension, as I back then didn't realize the potential. You can now also move, resize, change font size and alignment for text in your slides github.com/EmilHvitfeld... #quarto #slidecrafting

Does Jenny Bryan #VibeCode? 🤔 She shared on the Hangout that she's been thankful that she gets to learn #rust and #typscript in the age of #AI and these are her thoughts on #LLM use. (We really need a #RubberDuck emoji 🦆) #rstats #databs #VibeCoding #DSHangout #python

We still have spots available for tidyverse dev day on Sept 19: www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/07.... Please come along to contribute to the tidyverse and have a bunch of fun along the way! It's open to all, but is most convenient if you're coming to posit::conf or live near Atlanta #rstats

In the frenzy of exciting #useR2025 talks, I forgot to mention that I also gave my talk. 😆 "Adding models to {tidyclust}", slides here: kbodwin.github.io/Talks-and-Pr... PC: @healthandstats.bsky.social

I saw the hex wall, but they also brought back socks from useR in Australia! 🤩 #useR2025

I've been excited for @yabellini.bsky.social's #user2025 Keynote since it was announced!!! Title slide does not disappoint. 🥰

Join us for the R-Ladies Networking Event at useR! 2025 Friday, August 8 at 6:30 PM | Gross Hall Room 103, Duke University. Come say hi, meet members, discover local chapters, and explore how to get involved. More details here: user2025.r-project.org/additional/r... #useR2025 #rladies

Following the dismissal of Erika McEntarfer as US Commissioner of Labor Statistics, we've released a statement of concern. At a time of global economic uncertainty, we stress the importance of the independence of statistical institutions and the protection of the integrity of official statistics.

It's the virtual day for useR! Some of the talks are already available, including this one: I always enjoy @juliasilge.com explaining things so if you are curious about the Positron IDE (it's out of beta now!), this is for you: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKSr... #rstats

Just discovered {ggcats} and yes, it does exactly what you think: adds cats to your ggplots. 🐈📈 Because sometimes your data visualisation needs a little more purr-sonality. 👉 github.com/R-CoderDotCo... #RStats #ggplot2 #dataviz #catsinstats

The call for papers for LatinR 2025 (online) is now open! You can present in English, Spanish, or Portuguese 🗣️ #RStats latinr.org/en/blog/en/2...

Slides from yesterdays talk "Don't be dense, embracing sparsity in tidymodels" are live if you are interested! emilhvitfeldt.github.io/talk-slc-spa...

A little while ago I saw a really beautiful colour palette/colour science post. It was something to do with capturing pastel/water colours and transformations to the colourspace. I can't for the life of me remember what is was called, does anyone remember this? #rstats

After a month or so of not using Claude Code much to write R code, I recently returned to using the tool most days. Giving coding assistants the ability to peruse #rstats package documentation via MCP is so, so helpful: www.simonpcouch.com/blog/2025-07...

Hi #RLadies! I’m Jesica, your curator this week! I’m super excited to be here and share this week with you! 💜 Based in Argentina 🧉, I’m a researcher working at the intersection of data, education, and open science. I use R for analyzing data, teaching, and (more recently) building tools.

vitals, an R package for LLM evaluation, is now on #rstats CRAN!🧸 Specifically aimed at folks building with ellmer, the package will help you engineer prompts, choose models, and measure cost/latency/performance rigorously. www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/06...

New post! How to open files, folders, websites in #RStats 📂 Featuring 👐 - base R functions - {usethis} functions - {cli}'s inline formatting - IDE commands & shortcuts masalmon.eu/2025/06/25/o... Thanks @frick.ws for inspiration and reviewing! 🙏

It's remarkable that this is as needed as it is, but it is. A nice collection of practices.

At Posit, we love @typst.app: ⚡ Make PDFs in milliseconds, not minutes ✨ The power of LaTeX with today's technologies ✍️ Modern typography (including emojis!) 🧠 Clear mental model So I'm thrilled to announce that we're now supporting its development: posit.co/blog/posit-a... #rstats

1. 🧵 on both German intercity rail and the TCP high-speed rail proposal, inspired by someone on Twitter asking @mattyglesias.bsky.social about how I'm addressing Deutsche Bahn's own problems with reliability. So, to start with, here are some schematics; NEC is what we propose, not current service.

Registration for the posit::conf(2025) virtual experience is now open! Join us virtually, Sept 16–18, and access live-streamed keynotes and 100+ talks, on-demand recordings, Q&A sessions, and our virtual networking platform. Learn more in the blog post: posit.co/blog/posit-c... #RStats #Python

With all my recent work on systemfonts I felt it was time it got a hex logo
