I got to use the `mget` function in #rstats, I haven't used it in a long time. I matched variables ending with 'completed' and consolidated them using `do.call` and `mget`.

I have no choice but to take ricochet for a spin this weekend.

I think we, the #rstats community, are sleeping in the _server.yml standard! "how do you deploy the app?" is just `pkg:::launch_server()` plumber2.posit.co/articles/ser...

posit.co/conference is next week! So stoked! We got an order in for a Houston limited edition (ruby red grapefuit!) #rstats stacks sticker just in time. :)

Thanks so much @zeileis.org for the {exams} #Rstats package. So powerful and well documented! www.r-exams.org Super helpful to create dynamic (individual) exercises for +200 students with automatic feedback and grading in platforms like Blackboard, Moodle...

I should probably write up my Spatial Analysis on Airbnb listings in Cape Town. It was a cool case study on how to use kriging, working with {sf}, {stars}, {tmap} etc on #rstats.

Anyone care to recommend a book/set of tutorials on Optimisation in #rstats? I am interested in scheduling/operations management.

🗺️ New in the development version of the {tmap} R package: blending modes are now available! This makes it much easier to create more expressive terrain visualizations. github.com/r-tmap/tmap/... #rstats #tmap #GISchat #rspatial

Amazingly, the Scottish Government has an "Open Data team" and they're building a new public data platform (as one does): What is data.​gov.​scot and why are we doing it? blogs.gov.scot/digital/2026... data.gov.scot "will become the new home for open data about Scotland" 👍

Installing stuff on a new M5 MacBook Pro and finally revisiting my old Makevars incantations and just learned that life is like a billion times easier nowadays for getting #rstats to work with OpenMP on macOS! Basically I just have this now and everything installs/compiles smoothly?

I got a Garmin watch recently and went a rabbit hole trying to recreate its data viz in ggplot. It's so different from making regular report/dashboard plots! Recreating things made with other technologies is a great way to learn! Link: mic-wypych.github.io/posts/garmin... #ggplot2 #dataviz #rstats

i guess this caddy setup should work too github.com/andrewheiss/... (nginx version given too)

Does anyone have a go-to guide for deploying {plumber} REST APIs on an on-premise server using Docker and Nginx? #rstats I used a tutorial earlier in the year, but I can't find it for some reason.

How does one deploy a {plumber} API using docker? I am looking to test an API preferably without having USD bill. #rstats I have seen a solution before however, I can't seem to find online.

For the last couple of months I've been working on something and I'm excited to finally share an early preview: Say hello to plumber2 🎉 plumber2 is a full rewrite of the plumber package for creating powerful webapis in #rstats. It takes everything we have learned from plumber and adds even more

I am using the #rstats {reticulate} package to create two #python virtual environments. There is something magical about uv package manager. The speed is unparalleled.

Just merged a PR in {mapgl} introducing some long-awaited updates to the layers control. It now has an improved appearance that takes up less space by default, and you can customize its position and styling as well! Install from GitHub to try now; it'll be in the next CRAN release. #rstats

🎉 Census + #rstats users: A new version of the censusapi package is now on CRAN 📦 Highlights: - Using an API key is no longer required - New metadata function options - Improved handling of numeric data `install.packages("censusapi")` to update Full release notes at www.hrecht.com/censusapi/ne...

Another #rstats blog that somehow perfectly defines a solution to a task I am tackling. Thank you @ibddoctor.bsky.social !

I have one question for the #rstats community. Is it possible to use Apple's MLX framework in #rstats? Especially since MLX has a C++ API.

I've been reflecting the last few days on how lucky I am to have a job that lets me play and learn with #rstats, work on complex problems, and aligns with my morals. But I also need to acknowledge that it's the result of me putting work in to get here, these jobs don't magically happen!

I recently revamped my personal website in Quarto and moved some things around. Find my tutorial on Survival Analysis in R at www.emilyzabor.com/survival-ana... I also took the opportunity to learn how to redirect GitHub pages, so the old link will still get you there. Happy learning! #rstats
