Andrew Barnas (@andrewbarnas.bsky.social; 77/5/18; 2026-01-30): Took me way too long to realize that its super easy to just merge pdfs in R rather than fussing with Adobe #rstats
library(pdftools)
pdf_combine(
input = c(“file1.pdf”, “file2.pdf”),
output = “merged.pdf”

Libby Heeren (@libbyheeren.bsky.social; 57/2/9; 2026-01-30): I’m excited to inform you:
@hadley.nz to join the #DSLab Feb 17, live-coding a #TidyTuesday analysis. Snoop the tools he uses & ask Qs in the chat! 👀
I regret to inform you:
I’ve challenged him to only speak in Gen-Z slang for the entire Lab & he’s accepted 🙊 pos.it/dslab ⬅️👏🏻

Grant McDermott (@gmcd.bsky.social; 44/5/11; 2026-01-31): #rstats I’ve been testing out arf, a new R console written in Rust. Early days, but a v. smooth experience so far. Much simpler to install and link from VS Code than radian, for example, with better features too. github.com/eitsupi/arf ↪

Nicola Rennie (@nrennie.bsky.social; 25/1/2; 2026-01-31): One of my aims for 2026 was to be a little bit less “all or nothing” with projects so I’m pretty proud of my #Genuary2026 contributions!
Still learned lots of new stuff, and had plenty of time left for other things!

I’ve been iterating on {sqlm} package on and off for two years but managed to complete this thanks to @posit.co positron
So what is this package? its the lm() that runs against databases using the same sugar syntax as the lm() function

Jan Broder Engler (@jbengler.de; 13/0/1; 2026-01-31): Tidyplots offers a variety of diverging color schemes 🌈
Diverging color schemes are great to represent data that diverges around a central midpoint, often a meaningful neutral value like zero, an average, or a baseline. #rstats #dataviz ↪
Ondrej Mottl 🌿💻📈🌍⏳ (@ondrejmottl.bsky.social; 13/1/1; 2026-02-01): The more I do teach #RStats, the more I think it is a blessing and a course at the same time. ↪
