Posit (@posit.co; 56/1/14; 2026-05-29): Announcing mori 0.1.0: Zero-copy shared memory for #RStats!

Parallel R usually means duplicating data across every worker, causing RAM bloat.

mori fixes this by sharing R objects across processes via OS-level shared memory. Share once, read anywhere

Libby Heeren (@libbyheeren.bsky.social; 24/1/2; 2026-05-29): If you’re looking for a way to make your #shiny app look a lil less like a shiny app AND you’re wanting a way to control UI responsiveness to the user’s screen size, then Fomantic-UI containers via shiny.semantic are so cooool 😎

Tristan Snowsill (@tmsnowsill.bsky.social; 19/4/0; 2026-05-29): Dear #Rstats users, please do not name your main data table/frame “dt” or “df”. One day, you will thank me when you need to use the probability density function for the Student’s t or F-distribution!

(“d” or “dat” are safe 😊) β†ͺ


Tan G. (@tangandhara.bsky.social; 19/0/6; 2026-05-28): I like understanding how ideas for charts come about and it’s interesting to read @owenwntr.bsky.social’s explainer on that local election chart I saw everywhere.
