"It is worth emphasizing that tinyplot requires only base R. It has zero recursive dependencies and we have been careful to keep its installation size down to a minimum."

That's my kind of package. Let's go Tinyverse!

R in Maine: Connecting Ecologists, Medical Researchers, and Data Scientists

Donald Szlosek, the MaineR Users Group organizer, recently spoke with the R Consortium about the group’s transition from a city-based meetup to a statewide community and its efforts to engage a diverse audience. He highlighted his work in real-world evidence studies, where R is critical in causal inference and machine learning validation.

The #Penguins of #Linux will impose a 100% tariff if you imported a #Python or a #rstats module you didn't need for your analyses.

It's Day 4 of the #30DayChartChallenge, and the prompt is "Big or Small"

Made a very minimalist chart using #RStats
I'm now determined to use this same dataset for all 30 prompts

So I'll totally post this on the @Posit community forum, but thought the #rstats crowd here might have some ideas... about this potentially daft question.

So I'm pretty new to using Posit Connect. All seems pretty straight forward, but I'm not an admin so hard to tell exactly what is going on or might have been borked in setting it up.

The problem is, I can deploy a .rmd document with source code and have it schedule, and I can render everything locally fine, but if I try to deploy a quarto doc with source code it fails saying there is no rmarkdown package, which seems... weird. But this screenshot from the console make me think there should be a universal install of knitr/rmarkdown on the server maybe?

Do I just need to get an admin to install the packages? It seems so weird because packages (including knitr/rmarkdown) seem to be installing in the deploy process...

Digital biomedical infrastructure all around the country is built on #AWS . However, simply getting data in/out of AWS, and managing access can be difficult to navigate. This friction motivated us to build sixtyfour, an AWS interface that will feel familiar to #rstats folks. Let us (+ @sean) know what you think!

rsample 1.3.0 is on CRAN! This release contains a more flexible grouping for bootstrap confidence intervals as well as many tidy dev day contributions as general upkeep. #RStats

The more I use python, the more I like R #rstats

The authors have also developed a Shiny web app to evaluate these.

every now and then I try to explain how all my generative art comes from a place of extremely raw emotion. yes, it's usually an #rstats script that does the work, but... it's not like normal programming or analysis, it's something else. anyway. this one. this piece is exactly that - for a thousand different reasons I've been really moody and messy the last month or so and *this* is what my code does when that happens

It's Day 2 of the #30DayChartChallenge, and the prompt is "Slope"

Dear #rstats friends, remember all those tempdir()/tempfile() gymnastics for CRAN compliance?

examplesTempdir just made that circus act a one-liner with a simple #roxygen2 tag extension. Your future self will thank you.
