Every year we run a "graph crimes" lecture for my data analysis class - so #rstats people - what are the most egregious crimes you have seen committed this year? #graphcrimes
Folks, an open call: I am #hiring TWO Principal Research #Scientists to join the Developer Success Lab!
One is a scientist with statistics/psychometrics focus (R is our ecosystem here), and one is an intervention science focus; both are fully remote roles working directly with me, our current Principal Scientist, and our brand-new Principal Dev Experience Engineer on our public-facing empirical research mission 🙌
webR 0.2.0 has been released! 🎉 This release gathers many updates from over the last few months, focusing on improvements to HTML canvas graphics, additional Wasm R packages, better accessibility and internationalisation, and a brand new webR REPL app. I've written a blog post with lots more details at https://www.tidyverse.org/blog/2023/08/webr-0-2-0/ #webR#RStats
I'm looking for a new job (remote or #PDX), please boost!
I am a research software engineer with 11 years experience developing interdisciplinary scientific software that is robust, #accessible, and user-friendly.
Hi! This is our #introduction 💜 We are the R-Ladies Global organization ✨
The #RStats community suffers from an under-representation of minority genders in every role and area of participation.
As a diversity initiative, the mission of #RLadies is to achieve proportionate representation. R-Ladies’ primary focus is to support minority gender R enthusiasts to achieve their programming potential by building a collaborative global network to facilitate individual and collective progress worldwide.
The release brings new formats for dashboards and Typst, a new manuscript project type, a cross-reference overhaul, Shiny for Python support, and a ton of other updates.
Very excited to announce httr2 to the world: https://www.tidyverse.org/blog/2023/11/httr2-1-0-0/. We've been working on it for a couple of years and we're now confident that it's stable. If you are working with web APIs in #rstats, it's a significant improvement on httr.
Have you ever got a spatial object with broken geometry (e.g., an invalid polygon)? Do you want to learn about this topic and also learn how to fix it?
There is a great repo and shiny app created by defuneste.
Absolutely devastating news. I would not have accomplished what I have accomplished in the last decade without Yihui's work on #knitr. If you've ever encountered a website, report, or book built with #RStats in recent memory, you have Yihui to thank.
We are the only fully online chapter of R-Ladies, the global organization promoting gender diversity in the R community. Our chapter particularly welcomes people working remotely or living in places remote from other chapters.
Our main community is on Slack, where we sometimes hold organized sessions (coffee chats, reading groups) and we also hold occasional online talks/workshops.
I'm Daniela and I live in Uruguay. I'm a self employed Data Scientist and a mother 💞
I used to be a blogger (https://d4tagirl.com) and an avid Twitter enthusiast. Now I'm trying to figure out how to use Mastodon and come back to blogging 🤩
I love #rstats and its community, especially #RLadies 💜 I am an R-Ladies Global Team member (Social Media) and I co-funded two R-Ladies chapters in this region and an R-User Group as well.
I was interested by the crackdown described here and decided to see what would happen if I deleted a few old questions. We’re talking four questions, 10+ years old, of questionable current relevance. Some I could not delete and so I recommended them for closing on the basis of their age. Sure enough, I got a 24-hour ban with a nasty message from the site, and got the dunce cap “Disciplined” added to my profile.
I was never a power user on #stackoverflow in the first place, and nobody was looking to me for advice, but this was enough to prompt me to delete my account. I’m not interested in having my name associated with this kind of organization. Frankly, I’m also not a strong enough #rstats programmer to take the risk of getting coding advice from AI: if it’s badly wrong, which tends to happen at least in other domains — rarely enough that people let down their guard, but often enough to be nonignorable — I might not know. So the value proposition of using their site is not what it was before, and there’s really no reason for me to stay.
