Hi folks! I know it is the weekend, but I’d like to quickly announance an update to {legendry} version 0.2.0: teunbrand.github.io/teunbrand_bl… #rstats #ggplot2

2024/12/22

blogdown

Ben Harrap (@bharrap.bsky.social; 34/2/3; 2024-12-16): Hugo/blogdown got too janky to maintain so I migrated my website to a Quarto blog.

I wrote a blog post in case anyone else finds themselves doing the same. It covers:

Ming Tommy Tang (@tommytang.bsky.social; 0/1/0; 2024-12-16): 5️⃣ Use Tools like ‘blogdown’

For R users, the blogdown package is a game-changer for creating sleek websites.
Bonus: It renders your R/Python code beautifully into HTML!

bookdown

Chris Adams (@chrisadamsecon.bsky.social; 27/0/3; 2024-12-20): I have created a bookdown version of the first edition of Learning Microeconometrics with R (CRC Press). I have converted Sweave to Quarto to create the bookdown and then published it on bookdown.org. Any suggestions for the Second Edition, DM me. #econsky #rstats sites.google.com/view/microec…

knitr

Andrew Goldstone (@agoldst.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy; 0/0/1; 2024-12-18): love to see congressional committees using #rstats and LaTeX (and presumably knitr or rmarkdown): longtable printed in Computer Modern is a dead giveaway. Speaking of dead giveaways, looks like insurance companies believe in climate change […]

Teun van den Brand (@teunbrand.bsky.social; 91/4/18; 2024-12-14): Hi folks! I know it is the weekend, but I’d like to quickly announance an update to {legendry} version 0.2.0:

Olivier Simard-Casanova (@o.simardcasanova.net; 34/7/0; 2024-12-14): I won’t lie, I’m a bit tempted to jump into the current #Rstats vs. Stata discourse


Chris Adams (@chrisadamsecon.bsky.social; 30/2/3; 2024-12-14): Excited to announce that I have signed a contract with @tandfonline.bsky.social CRC Press David Grubbs for a second edition of my book, Learning Microeconometrics with R. sites.google.com/site/christo… #rstats #econsky


Tyler Morgan-Wall (@tylermorganwall.bsky.social; 29/1/2; 2024-12-14): 😭 Nooo! You have to track sample probabilities and use multiple importance sampling to balance BRDFs, lights, and environment maps for unbiased convergence, or your rendering will be biased AND noisy!

🤪 haha denoising makes renderer go brrr

#RStats #rayrender


Sharon Machlis (@smachlis.bsky.social; 28/2/4; 2024-12-14): Daily number of Bluesky posts with the #RStats hashtag (case insensitive) Sept. 1 - Dec 13, excluding the CRAN Package Updates bot.
Coded with the {bskyr} and {ggplot2} R packages.

Kenny Vaden (@kennyvaden.bsky.social; 26/0/0; 2024-12-14): GM code art friends

Asleep Awake (R code)

Minimalist wire-frame caves that I emerged from through trials and errors, and sleep-wake cycles at my desk

Noah Greifer (@noahgreifer.bsky.social; 20/2/2; 2024-12-14): If you have an issue where Dropbox is constantly syncing while @posit.co #RStudio is open, one solution is to run the following code in Terminal:

find “Dropbox” -type d -name “.Rproj.user” -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d $’\0’ folder; do xattr -w com.dropbox.ignored 1 “$folder”; done

David Hood (@thoughtfulnz.bsky.social; 20/1/3; 2024-12-14): By request, here is the how of gathering the data using #rstats

Kara Woo (@karawoo.com; 19/2/0; 2024-12-14): So many people with off-by-one errors in #adventofcode d14p2…but not the #rstats users! 😎


Christopher Barrie (@cbarrie.bsky.social; 19/0/2; 2024-12-13): My #RStats coauthor when I recruit a Stata user to the project


Teal (@tealemery.bsky.social; 16/2/4; 2024-12-14): Teaching real-world economic & financial data analysis in #Rstats has helped my SAIS students get jobs at the IMF/WB, The White House, and lots of other kick ass places.

Why are we still burdening students with $925/year software when open source is the future?


@kearney (@kearney.bsky.social; 14/4/0; 2024-12-15): This LinkedIn #rstats post is making me sick to my stomach. The code and example are so bad, yet people like and reshare and compliment it in the comments. 🤮


Mario Angst (@marioangst.bsky.social; 12/2/1; 2024-12-14): 📦 New #rstats package 📦: {rayab}
github.com/marioangst/rayab
This is a simple and very, very esoteric thing 😅. Produce images ready to be knitted on a hacked 70s knitting machine.


Stephen Turner (@stephenturner.us; 12/7/3; 2024-12-14): This one bit me recently. I know I saw something similar here before. Do you get why this happens? #Rstats


R-Ladies Rome (@rladiesrome.bsky.social; 12/0/4; 2024-12-14): 🚀 Missed our event on “Using GitHub Copilot (and Others LLM) with R”? Don’t worry! Watch the recording now! 🎥 🔗 https://buff.ly/4iELACa

Jeremy Allen (@jeremy-data.bsky.social; 6/2/1; 2024-12-14): No comments about data governance yet? Anyone using #Databricks #UnityCatalog for governance?

Sean Kross (@seankross.com; 6/0/1; 2024-12-14): This is the third event in the #rstats squid games.


Kristopher Robison (@kristopherrobison.bsky.social; 6/0/2; 2024-12-13): Learning #Rstats #RStudio. Total fertility rates by region. 1960 to 2022.


**** (@abeith.bsky.social; 5/1/0; 2024-12-14): Day 14 #AdventOfCode #rstats

My favourite day so far!

tinytex

Grant McDermott (@gmcd.bsky.social; 2/1/0; 2024-12-17): Ironically, I originally called it plot2 but then a bunch of people pointed out (correctly I think) that this would create confusion and probably annoy the ggplot2 devs.🙃

I don’t think it needs to be a loaded term, though. Vincent had just released tinytable and I was inspired by tinytex too.


Євген Єбобленко (@eboblya.bsky.social; 2/1/0; 2024-12-06): We rely a lot on Rmarkdown/Quarto + pandoc + tinytex setup.
Quite easy to configure on Linux/macOS, can be used on Windows through WSL (probably also doable on Windows without WSL, but Windows sucks so much).


retigi.bsky.social (@retigi.bsky.social; 0/0/0; 2024-12-22): I would recommend considering #tinytex instead of those insanely bulky #texlive or #miktex. You can simply copy #tinytex to a folder, set the system path and then you can start using #lyx with it.
