Colin Madland 🇨🇦 (@cmad.land; 0/1/0; 2025-11-29): Then I started learning #r when I started my PhD and discovered #bookdown for scholarly publishing…which leads me to @quarto.org which I think is a significantly underappreciated publishing workflow for #highered courses #edusky ↪

Elio Campitelli (@eliocamp.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy; 24/3/8; 2025-11-27): New knitr / #QuartoPub #RStats trick. Add this to your setup to add automatic string interpolation to your captions. ↪
Lorenzo Gaborini (@lgaborini.bsky.social; 5/0/0; 2025-11-23): Yes officially with the recent {quarto} package:
cran.r-project.org/web/packages…
And unofficially you can use that syntax under knitr. (And the !expr syntax in code chunk options.) ↪
tj mahr 🦃 (@tjmahr.com; 0/0/0; 2025-11-28): okay, option hooks run before and chunk hooks can run before or after. I’ve used chunk hooks for cleaning up line-wrapping in model output yihui.org/knitr/hooks/ ↪

Emi Tanaka (@emitanaka.org; 41/2/8; 2025-11-23): My paper “Examining the Interface Design of Tidyverse” is now published in ANZJS. This paper calls attention to the importance of UI/UX principles & approaches to statisiticians and #rstats developers.
Many thanks to reviewers who made this paper better!

Mid terms are November 3rd 2026. Go register voters. (@usrbinr.bsky.social; 24/1/0; 2025-11-22): I thought publishing on CRAN would mean a lot more recycle on my code quality / dependencies / reverse dependencies, etc – but in reality its getting my documentation in line with their standards.

Tyler Morgan-Wall (@tylermw.com; 24/2/1; 2025-11-22): Do you know it’s been almost seven years since I released #rayrender, ranked for 6 years straight as the #1* pathtracer in #RStats? I went back to a blog post (www.tylermw.com/posts/rayver…) I wrote over six years and recreated some of the scenes, and it’s fun seeing how far it’s come!

Makes me proud to be an R user. ↪

Daniel Gutierrez (@ddgutierrez.bsky.social; 11/0/1; 2025-11-21): You don’t need deep learning for every problem. You need:
— Clean data
— Clear framing
— Honest evaluation
Simplicity scales better than complexity that no one trusts.
