TIL #RStats has a function called apropos(), in the {utils} package. 👀

https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/apropos.html

For instance since my .Rprofile loads {usethis}, apropos("^use_", ignore.case = FALSE) returns the names of many, many functions.

I received a physical copy of the "R Packages" book by @hadleywickham & @jennybryan yesterday! 📦 🎉

I was pleased to see that Maëlle Salmon recommends it. 😂 (I really do!)

You can also read it for free at https://r-pkgs.org/

Back cover of the "R Packages" book including this quote of myself "A stellar reference book for package development beginners as well as more experienced folks who are curious about the fantastic devtools ecosystem"

New post: "#RStats functions that shorten/filter stuff: less is more"

• For lists: purrr::compact(), purrr::keep(), purrr::discard()

• For strings: stringr::str_subset(), stringr::str_squish()

• For code: purrr::partial()

TIL tools::showNonASCIIfile(), thank you @maelle!! Having actually combed through my code line by line in search of an offending non-ascii character, I’m grateful for this post!

Seeing an error from #RStats package B in your package A's check results, when your package A doesn't have a direct dependency on B, and wondering where in the dependency tree of A B is? 😖

Don't be like me, use pak::pak_deps_explain() right away! It explains how a package depends on other packages. 👌

A bit rusty after vacation it seems: I remember reading about a fallacy where upon starting a new software for a given problem, at first one only experiences wins and therefore understimates the intricacies. I think there's a phrase for that? Did I read this in content by @jennybryan?

#RStats

#RStats 📦 {babelquarto} helps creating and rendering multilingual #QuartoPub online books. 📖 It was crucial for the translation of @rOpenSci dev guide!

After a FR, I extended {babelquarto} to Quarto websites.

I am not sure at all it's a good idea, vs using a tool with official multilingual support (Hugo?), or waiting for Quarto support. 😰 🤔

Thoughts?

Context:

• my PR to {babelquarto} with an example https://github.com/ropensci-review-tools/babelquarto/pull/11
• Quarto issue https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/issues/275

What is your favorite "CSS in one hour for experienced programmers who've never touched CSS" tutorial? (no, this is not a sub-toot - I really would like pointers to tutorials that move quickly and omit details that someone could pick up from Stack Overflow once they have a usable mental model of CSS)

If you need to use SPARQL in #RStats, you might enjoy @lvaudor's and my active* work on {glitter}, a DSL for SPARQL! ✨

In less fancy language, glitter helps you query wikidata and similar web APIs. 🔮

Learn from my mistake: update your #Resume/#CV periodically

I was looking for the list of things that help formatting text, whose name starts with a dot: .pkg, .url...

I'm happy to report I now know the things are called classes, the list is in https://cli.r-lib.org/reference/inline-markup.html#classes

What I still don't know is wether one can implement custom classes (I'm making do with the existing ones, not a big problem).
