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
I've always wanted to try to get axis text directly on my plots like I've seen in the New York Times and other places. Finally figured it out with the help of the {ggh4x} package. Code here: https://rfor.us/axistext#rstats
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.
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 😉
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".
📣 I launched my first newsletter! It's free and I'll be using it to send a little email note any time I publish a blog post, publication, talk, or project on my #quarto site.
Check it out, the #Shiny extension for #VSCode now supports both Shiny for R apps and Shiny for Python apps in everyone's second favorite IDE!
Along with the updates come a few neat features for deploying your Shiny apps as serverless ShinyLive apps using https://shinylive.io, or for saving a ShinyLive app as local #RStats or #Python files.
We're very excited to be hosting three reading groups at eCOTS over the next few weeks, and we'll be introducing them this week!
The first reading group is on the topic of "What do students learn from simulations in statistics?" and is facilitated by Andrew Pua, and will be happening May 21 10pm BST / 5pm EDT / May 22 5am Philippine Standard Time
I've started taking advantage of Emac's org-mode with R code snippets. So nifty!
One thing I miss from ESS-mode is the underscore key "_" that produces the assignment operator "<-". Do you know any way of having this functionality within R code blocks in an org document?
A search on stackexchange and the web didn't return very much, or only answers from 10 years ago...
>>> or some keybindings (e.g. for "<-") inside<br></br>>>> an R source code block.<br></br><br></br>This one can be done with<br></br><br></br> (defun dan/org-underscore-command ()<br></br> (interactive)<br></br> (or (org-babel-do-key-sequence-in-edit-buffer "_")<br></br> (org-self-insert-command 1)))<br></br><br></br> (define-key org-mode-map "_" 'dan/org-underscore-command)<br></br><br></br>And another one that you may like is for commenting code:<br></br><br></br> (defun dan/org-comment-dwim (&optional arg)<br></br> (interactive "P")<br></br> (or (org-babel-do-key-sequence-in-edit-buffer "M-;")<br></br> (comment-dwim arg)))<br></br><br></br> (define-key org-mode-map "M-;" 'dan/org-comment-dwim)<br></br><br></br>
posit::conf(2024) virtual tickets are now available!
Join us on August 12-14—from all over the world—to live stream the incredible talks and keynotes that will be taking place in Seattle.
We understand that not everyone will be able to make the trip to Seattle this year, so we’re excited to offer a fully virtual offering for everyone as an alternate option.

Do you want to improve #rstats messages in your language?
On July 2nd there will be another tutorial about how to translate R the easy way 😄
Is so easy last release includes my contributions in two languages: #Catalan and Spanish.
If you see some message you want translated in those languages let me know and if you attend the tutorial I'll teach you how (and if not I'll do it myself 😃)
🧌 We all know the R startup message. It tells us the version of R we are running, the date, the platform we are running on, and some informative tips on using R. When you've been using R a while, though, it get old. Let me show you how you can customise your startup message! ---
Not traveling to Austria for next month's useR! conference? There's also a free virtual pre-conference on July 2! Sessions range from 4:30 to 21:30 CEST, so there's something for people in every time zone.
Topics include Redefining Interactive Data with Quarto and WebR, Stop Making Spaghetti (Code), Rix: Reproducible Environments with Nix, and more. Plus tutorials like Deploy and Monitor ML Pipelines with Open Source and Free Applications
biopixR, has reached version 1.0.0! From its humble beginnings to the latest updates, we've worked tirelessly to bring you powerful tools for image analysis and processing.
Improved examples
New functions: importImage and scanDir
Automated parameter calculation in objectDetection
Faster computation through vectorization
Browse through our journey: from edge detection to automated calculations, parallel processing, and more!
I've added the R.nvim plugin to #Neovim. It splits the window into panels for editing, viewing output and browsing objects, and it offers everything I'd expect in an R IDE.
It hardly needs any configuration besides registering its own existence. It's comprehensive, thoughtful and underrated, and it's my preferred way to write R code.
Registration for tutorials at useR! in Salzburg is open! I'll be teaching an in-person tutorial on Survival Analysis with tidymodels with @topepo .To register for the tutorial, log back into your conference registration and then modify it to include tutorials (and maybe a social event!) in Step 4 "Reg Options." It's a bit of clicking to get there, but the choice of tutorials and social activities is worth it! #RStats#useR2024
