Mickaël CANOUIL, Ph.D. (@mickael.canouil.fr; 0/0/0; 2025-09-19): Regarding the Quarto way, since 1.8, there is a new environment variable that holds a JSON file with all information used.
You can use it in any code cells (not specific to R via knitr) to add condition on many things (as regular if/else).

Thomas Lin Pedersen (@thomasp85.com; 835/9/280; 2025-09-11): I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN.
It’s not every day we have a new major #ggplot2 release but it is a fitting 18 year birthday present for the package.
Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats ↪
Vincent Arel-Bundock (@vincentab.bsky.social; 146/3/35; 2025-09-13): The new {marginaleffects} release for #RStats (0.30.0) comes with two new vignettes:

Crystal Lewis (@cghlewis.bsky.social; 111/5/4; 2025-09-12): There is something beautiful about taking a dataset that is 1,261 variables wide (with variables repeating over and over for different organizations) and is very overwhelming to read and use and transforming that into a long format dataset with one row for each organization. 🥰

Mattan S. Ben-Shachar 🎗️🇮🇱🇺🇦 (@mattansb.msbstats.info; 12/1/1; 2025-09-12): I’ve started using the stat_* function for any non-identity default geom-stat pairings in #rstats #ggplot2 (e.g. stat_boxplot instead of geom_boxplot, stat_bin for histogram, stat_smooth, …).
This strikes the right balance for me between “it doesn’t actually matter” and “I have opinions” 💙📊 ↪
