Tyler Morgan-Wall (@tylermorganwall.bsky.social; 68/5/16; 2025-04-11): Yesterday, I was just reading a Hacker News comment about R’s annoying all-or-nothing namespacing, and then R 4.5.0 comes out with use()!

Import just what you need:

use(“dplyr”, c(“mutate”, “summarize))

Crystal Lewis (@cghlewis.bsky.social; 38/3/5; 2025-04-11): For anyone who didn’t know about readr::parse_number(), it’s pretty cool. #rstats ↪

Ella Kaye (@ellakaye.co.uk; 31/2/10; 2025-04-11): R 4.5.0 is released and includes the penguins data popularised by {palmerpenguins} 📦! Some variable name changes means that scripts need editing to use the built-in datasets. The new {basepenguins} 📦 automates that! ellakaye.github.io/basepenguins #RStats ↪

useR! - The R User Conference (@user-conf.bsky.social; 20/0/8; 2025-04-12): @Yanina Bellini Saibene is a pillar of many R communities so we are thrilled she will be sharing her wisdom with us for her keynote. Yanina is a Professor at Universidad Austral, Buenos Aires, rOpenSci Community Manager, and R-Ladies Project Lead.

We Are R-Ladies (@weare.rladies.org; 10/1/3; 2025-04-12): 🚨 this is my final thread here! what a blast. this week has really just flown by 🫠

EconMaett (@econmaett.bsky.social; 8/0/2; 2025-04-12): Recap of this thread:

  1. ISL available in #RStats, #PyData, & #tidymodels.
  1. MML for maths & stats
  1. Murphy’s Probabillistic ML (Intro & Advanced) for a rigorous treatment

Kylie Ainslie, PhD (@kylieainslie.bsky.social; 8/1/2; 2025-04-13): I didn’t have much time for #TidyTuesday, so I took a different approach: back to (statistical) basics.

I made @quarto.org report determining the distn that best fits time spent in ED. A crucial step before a model can be fit.

Jeff Stevens (@jeffreyrstevens.com; 1/1/0; 2025-04-02): Yihui developed knitr, tinytex, xaringan, and many other R packages while a developer at @posit.co. Yihui embodies the classic xkcd cartoon on Dependency–a Nebraskan maintaining critical R packages that most of us use. Attend his talk to thank him for all of his hard work! (2/2)

Yihui Xie (@yihui.org; 6/1/2; 2025-04-14): To me, closing/deleting posts without knowing what the posts really mean is most annoying problem of StackOverflow (yihui.org/en/2018/02/c…). Time and time again, they just try to destroy valid posts. This time, none of Mark Rotteveel, gnat, Wai Ha Lee, and ChrisMM seem to have expertise in R. ↪
