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.
You need to address the accessibility of the UserR! Conferences. I've worked on accessibility with R FORWARDS for five years & was part of the groundbreaking organization of UseR 2021. This year I volunteered to help with accessibility. I reviewed the website & made recommendations about both the website & overall event, including choosing an accessible hybrid option. My work was not acknowledged at all. This is both systemic and interpersonal discrimination. Have a lovely conference.
@anze3db@jimbob@adamhsparks@TimTeaFan@smach Thanks heaps! I have also updated the search engine indexing - that explains why I've never seen anything show up in google. I just assumed it was a blanket thing for mastodon 🤦
The newest version of my #R#package TidyDensity really took off for me. Now wait until the next release which introduces 39 new functions. #R#RStats#RProgramming
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.
If you work with text data in R, the gregexpr() function is essential for pattern matching. It finds all occurrences of a pattern within a string. Key parameters include pattern, text, ignore.case, perl, fixed, and useBytes. You can match characters, ignore case, use advanced regex, and search fixed strings.
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 😉
