tj mahr 🍍🍕 (@tjmahr.com; 1/1/0; 2025-01-23): i’m feeling quarto qurious again. i wrote my own notebook system where:

  1. each entry is an rmd file,
  2. knitr generates .mds from each one separately,
  3. bookdown compiles all the .mds in reverse chrono order into a single html file

i use targets so that Rmd->md only happens as needed, so…

knitr

James Clawson (@jmclawson.bsky.social; 33/0/5; 2025-01-18): Proof that I sometimes emerge from the shadows of social media: a blog post about using Python and R to analyze Bluesky posts… about Python and R. Truly, the ouroboros of sentiment analysis. 🐍📊 #Python #RStats jmclawson.net/posts/bluesk…


Kyle Walker (@kylewalker.bsky.social; 30/2/7; 2025-01-17): Are you interested in the new story map feature in {mapgl}, but all of your #rstats mapping already uses Leaflet?

Good news: the package’s story map feature supports Leaflet as well!

Check out this video - it’s an example from the R Leaflet docs translated to a story map.


Max kuhn (@topepo.bsky.social; 30/0/1; 2025-01-16): Simon is making fantastic low-key #rstats ai tools to solve reasonable problems.


Crystal Lewis (@cghlewis.bsky.social; 29/1/6; 2025-01-18): Do you have more than one column that uniquely identifies rows in your data?

For example,

No problem, you can easily join data using multiple columns in #rstats, even if those columns have different names across datasets.

Jan Broder Engler (@jbengler.de; 20/0/1; 2025-01-19): You can save #tidyplots in multiple formats by piping through multiple rounds of save_plot() 🤩

Christos Argyropoulos MD, PhD, FASN 🇺🇸 (@christosargyrop.bsky.social; 19/4/3; 2025-01-18): Lol, wtf #rstats? You should go on Ozempic to shed some memory weight, because 59MB for a fresh process is kind of unhealthy


Jan Broder Engler (@jbengler.de; 17/3/1; 2025-01-19): You can save intermediate stages of #tidyplots by using save_plot() in the middle of a pipeline 🤩

Jan Broder Engler (@jbengler.de; 15/1/4; 2025-01-18): #tidyplots offers a variety of discrete color schemes 🌈

The default scheme colors_discrete_friendly is inspired by Okabe and Ito (2008) and was designed to maximize accessibility for individuals with color vision deficiencies.

Jörn Alexander Quent (@jaquent.bsky.social; 9/2/2; 2025-01-18): Generally, I see really very different levels of toxicity when I compare different languages or fields: I rarely come across snark comments when I look something up for #Rstats but loads for #Unity3D or #csharp.


macka szechno (@mackaszechno.bsky.social; 8/1/1; 2025-01-18): Yep, there isn’t a guy/girl on #Rstats that wouldn’t stop what they’re doing to help someone else out and expect nothing in return but a thank you.


Sharon Machlis (@smachlis.bsky.social; 5/0/0; 2025-01-18): Daily number of Bluesky posts with the #RStats hashtag (case insensitive) Sept. 1 - Jan 17, excluding the CRAN Package Updates bot.
Coded with the {bskyr} and {ggplot2} R packages.

David Rach (@davidrach.bsky.social; 5/0/0; 2025-01-18): My first foray into #rustlang, using extendr to speed up a few things in one of my #cytometry #rstats packages. End result, l learned a bunch and a clear improvement over the R equivalent that’s running Fortran. TBD if it throws an additional note for #Bioconductor when running BiocCheck later 😂

Grant McDermott (@gmcd.bsky.social; 1/0/0; 2025-01-25): Sorry Simon, I’m not sure. I’d recommend asking on the Quarto repo (their Discussions section is very active and well monitored). One last thought: maybe set tinytex as the backend for both machines? quarto.org/docs/output-…
