Check out another fireside chat hosted by Audrey Yeo, featuring Heather Turner and Abhishek Ulayil. This week's chat is on building foundations for R’s future as an accessible and diverse collaboration.
Heather is an R Foundation member with a strong track record promoting diversity in contributions to R, while Abhishek has recently converted the R Journal content to more accessible web content, and keynote speaker at useR! 2024.
A new release of #rstats broom is on CRAN! v1.0.6 includes several changes to well-used tidiers from the package, e.g. for lm(), gam(), and survfit() output.
Next Tuesday I'll be part of a Fireside Chat alongside #useR2024 keynote Abhishek Ulayil on the topic of "Building foundations for R’s future as an accessible and diverse collaboration".
Thank you continuous backups! I was working in RStudio and the git pane was showing "./" as being staged and I was unable to unstage it. It displayed a small amount of code from one R function, so I just reverted it after backing up that file... which reverted ALL the files in the repo to their last state (with days worth of work being gone) 😬 😬 😬
Thankfully I was able to pull versions of the files from an hour prior from backblaze, with minimal work lost
Rendering the moon's craters with displacement mapping in R with rayrender! If you noticed they appear unphysically large, it's because I'm using a information communication technique long employed by cereal boxes: the data have been enlarged to show texture 😉
Join us at posit::conf(2024) on Wednesday, Aug 14 after the last keynote for the joint R-Ladies / PyLadies community mixer in Seattle! 💜 The event is open to the public and posit conf attendees. 🤗 #rstats#rladies#pyladies#positconf2024

Anyone else having issues with CRAN today? I was trying to submit an update to a package but I get an error that the SSL certificate has expired and it won't upload via {curl} and Firefox flags the page as unsafe. #RStats
The world of big data, databases, and R is rapidly evolving with an explosion of tools and packages. We're delighted to announce two workshops at posit::conf(2024) tailored for working with large datasets:
• Big Data in R with Arrow, led by Nic Crane and Steph Hazlitt
• Databases with R led by @kirill
Para los que tengáis problemas ejecutando RStudio desde Ubuntu 24.04 probad a ejecutar esto desde un terminal:
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/lib/rstudio/chrome-sandbox
posit::conf(2024) is an open-source data science conference happening in Seattle on August 12 - 14!
After the final keynote of #positconf2024, connect with R-Ladies Seattle and PyLadies Seattle at the community mixer! Open to all, even if you did not attend the conference.
A new "ISC Working Group 'Marshaling & Serialization in R'"
This WG aims to develop standard practices for marshalling & unmarshalling of #RStats objects. This will involve identifying current problems, raising awareness of it, & coming up with technical solutions.
tidymodels has long supported parallelizing model fits across CPU cores. A couple of the modeling engines that #rstats#tidymodels supports for gradient boosting—#XGBoost and #LightGBM—have their own tools to parallelize model fits. A new blog post explores whether tidymodels users should use tidymodels' implementation, the engines', or both.
