@lionelhenry.bsky.social and I are so excited to finally announce Air - an extremely fast R code formatter! πŸŽ‰ With Air, you'll never need to worry about styling your #rstats code ever again. All you need to do is save, and Air takes care of the rest. www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/02...

Tuesday February 18th, @josefina-bernardo.bsky.social will talk us through the second part of Daily workflows in our online #rstats R-Ladies boookclub around the book Happy Git and Github for the useR, by @jennybryan.bsky.social. Want to join us? See www.meetup.com/rladies-den-...

Vancouver is the latest to boo the Star-Spangled Banner

The US national anthem just got booed at the Toronto Raptors game tonight. This doesn’t happen. The anger is real. #TrumpTradeWar (πŸŽ₯ William Lou)

Resonant words from the Auschwitz Memorial today: β€œAuschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. Hatred was gradually developed. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through dehumanization & violence to systematic & industrial murder. β€œAuschwitz took time.”

Sometimes when building a minimal reprex for a bug, you discover that you were the bug all along. I assume this is what Kafka was on about.

We've added an article about RStudio's Rproj files and how to adapt related workflows, if you're starting to kick the tires on Positron. If this interests you, check it out πŸ‘€ positron.posit.co/rstudio-rpro... #rstats #rstudio #positron

We’re thrilled to offer Opportunity Scholarships for posit::conf(2025)! These aim to support folks typically underrepresented at similar confs. If you know anyone who'd be a good candidate – perhaps you! – apply by Feb 21: pos.it/opp-scholar-2025 #DataScience #positconf2025 #rstats #pydata

This datetime stupidity is new to me! This slide digitizing gadget lets you associate specific metadata when you scan an image. But once you go past 1980 it circles around to 2050 🀯 Wouldn’t you think that most images stuck in slide form are from before 1980 πŸ€”

I just got a "Spotify Wrapped"-inspired email from my ... eSIM provider πŸ€” I appreciate the hustle, but I don't think this concept really transfers.

Exciting news! We just onboarded posit.co to @opensourcepledge.com edging out @sentry.io as the largest member company by number of developers, and launching us well past the $2M ARR mark for Open Source. How's that for a holiday surprise? πŸ˜πŸŽ…πŸ’ƒ Welcome aboard, Posit! πŸ‘

Registration for posit::conf(2025) just opened. More program details will be gradually rolling out. If you're into πŸ“¦ #rstats package development πŸ“¦ (or want to be!), check out my workshop.

Ah, "How to name files", a topic that is near and dear to my πŸ’œ My most recent (and semi-polished) iteration on this stuff was a 5-minute lightning talk for NormConf 2022. Here's the video & the slides: youtu.be/ES1LTlnpLMk?... speakerdeck.com/jennybc/how-...

The R-Ladies Philly πŸ”” recording of Jenny Bryan on "Let me GitHub search that for you" is available on YouTube! πŸŽ‰ #rstats #rladies

πŸ“¦ usethis 3.1.0 πŸ“¦ is released. `use_vignette()` and `use_article()` can now help you initiate a Quarto (.qmd) vignette or article. #rstats usethis.r-lib.org/news/index.h...

We are thrilled to announce that we have a new @posit.co Starter Pack, thanks to @jeremy-data.bsky.social! Find and follow Posit people here: go.bsky.app/RxAPkGi

I've been working a new #rstats package called palπŸ€– Pals bring a library of LLM prompts into your RStudio/Positron sessions, editing code directly at the press of a keyboard shortcut. Read more: simonpcouch.github.io/pal/

I just used the space bar to scroll and it toggled the favorite status of a post here. Tickles a specific twitter memory for me πŸ˜…

I really didn't feel like getting out of bed today, but past me had agreed to do 2 (two!) remote #rladies meetups. Still super upset about what's coming, but hanging out with your people, virtually and IRL, is the best you can do on a day like this πŸ˜”

R-Ladies Philly is thrilled to have @jennybryan.bsky.social speak tomorrow! #rstats #rladies

Btw, speaking of Mitch, he wrote one of my favorite posts on how to motivate yourself to build things: get yourself to a demo. mitchellh.com/writing/buil...

R-Ladies Book Club is back w/ "Happy Git and GitHub for the useR" by @jennybryan.bsky.social from @posit.co Want to streamline your workflow? Been meaning to learn to use Git, but haven't gotten around to it? Now you can! Kick-off (online): Nov 6 16:30-18:00 CET www.meetup.com/rladies-amst...

If you're an #rstats user, one way to protect yourself from yourself is to do: usethis::git_vaccinate() which will setup or modify your user-level (aka global) gitignore file to handle the most obvious R-associated files that probably don't belong in git. usethis.r-lib.org/reference/gi...

If someone is on bluesky directly but they have also set up some sort of bridge thingy with their mastodon account ... what's the sensible stance re: following those 2 accounts? Feels like we're in for a lot of duplication in various forms. πŸ€”

We've got a brand new, baby website for #Positron Take a look if you are interested in getting started, and please let us know how it goes: https://positron.posit.co/

I'll be chatting with R-Ladies Philly soon about using GitHub code search to answer your own #rstats questions. Related: if you have any especially fruitful GitHub searches in the near future, let me know! Good, fresh, authentic examples are super useful.

Happy halloween memory of my dad, who died this year: camping with another family somewhere in Georgia. The two dads quietly distributed candy throughout the campground during the day, so that all of us kids could triumphantly trick-or-treat that night and collect it all again πŸŽƒπŸ˜
