I have a private GitHub repo for an R package I developed for my organization. I cannot deploy a pkgdown webpage for my team in a private repo. Does anyone know if I can easily include a pkgdown webpage within my package (maybe in inst?) and have users serve it locally with a function call? I just saw this post from Maëlle Salmon: https://mastodon.social/@maelle/112393952364276977. Maybe servr::httw() could facilitate this? #rstats
#RStats users, I’m weighing up a new MacBook and wondering whether to go the Air or Pro. I don’t want a 16”. I’m curious to hear people’s experiences with the specs they have. Please, no Linux-only recs, as my clients all use the Office suite, which means I need to be able to deliver reliable documents to them, which isn’t quite possible with Libre Office.
Quarto R package version 1.4 is here 📦✨ The main feature is a new vignette engine that allows you to use quarto as a vignette builder and use .qmd files as vignettes!
The package also includes more enhancements for compatibility with the Quarto CLI 1.4 🔥💻
I'm excited to teach the "What They Forgot To Teach You About R" workshop with E. David Aja at posit conf for the 3rd year! 🎉 Join us to level up your personal R administration 🛠 and debugging skills 🧐. 🤗 #positconf2024#rstats
I recently worked with someone with 10 years' experience in #RStats who thinks dependency management doesn't matter. He didn't even think it was worthwhile to just ensure we were all using the same versions of things.
I don't get it. It took me mere months to break an R script by carelessly updating packages - how did this guy make it to a decade with no mishaps?
I have a linestring with messy ends (like a tangled ball of yarn). How can I smooth the messy ends so that it traces a nice curve around the yarn-like segments? I tried the {smoothr} package but it doesn't seem to work. #rstats
Thanks to @hughagraham, here's a tree canopy height viz of O‘ahu, Hawai‘i two ways—canopy height only (left), over shaded relief (right). Which do you prefer?
Hi-res canopy height data from World Resources Institute and Meta.
PSA: The latest development build of #webR served at https://webr.r-wasm.org/latest/ is now running #RStats 4.4.0 🎉 This change will be included as part of the next release. Thanks @jeroenooms for helping get this up and running.
WebAssembly packages for R 4.4 are now being served by https://repo.r-wasm.org/. As before, you can browse the list of available Wasm packages by visiting that URL in your browser. Feel free to let me know if any major packages have been broken in the rebuild process.
As requested by @jarrin_v, here's a quick render of Lago Titicaca's bathymetry. It's more challenging to find lake bathymetry data compared to seas and oceans. Let me know if you have better data!
A new release of RStudio dropped this week!! A lot of bug fixes and hard work over the last few months. For me, the highlights are the improvements to the Git pane, the completion for ggplot2 aesthetics, help for S3 methods, help available when package loaded via devtools. I had the chance to contribute some (very) minor features. Special thanks to @kevinushey and @ronblum for their kindness and responsiveness! #rstatshttps://posit.co/blog/rstudio-2024-04-0-whats-new/
Bizarre #RStats discovery of the week: control-flow statements don't necessarily have to be within a set of braces, unless the code it at the 'top level'. Super weird.
Hmm, I'm having trouble connecting to the @Posit package manager at the moment. I get: Warning: unable to access index for repository <https://packagemanager.posit.co/cran/latest/src/contrib>: cannot open URL '<https://packagemanager.posit.co/cran/latest/src/contrib/PACKAGES'> Is anyone else in the #RStats community seeing this? @rstats
