📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on!
“Searching for Birds” searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com 🐤
A project, an article, an exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.
thank you so much for joining!! 👾

Come hang with me Nov 5th 12PM ET! We'll be chatting with Isabel Zimmerman & Davis Vaughan from Posit about our favorite #Positron settings. New to to the IDE? Come learn! If you're super familiar & have tricks of your own to show, come share! #databs #rstats #python

there is NOTHING more satisfying than customizing your tools to make your work more joyful!!! sometimes that’s turning on format-on-save, sometimes that’s making your entire IDE pink 🌸 excited to see everyone’s setups and share my own!

I can definitely do at least one myself, so I just need 4 of you to curate a dataset! Check out github.com/rfordatascie... for #RStats instructions.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Me saying "hey it's github copilot chat in my positron"
Automatically generated dplyr code that matches the filtering and arranging that I did by clicking on columns in the data viewer
oooh new version of Positron just released and it has (1) github copilot chat and (2) automatic {dplyr} code generation based on filtering/sorting/etc that you do in the data viewer #rstats

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.
Can't wait to see everyone at posit::conf(2025)!!
Here's my annual "things to do" list for food, coffee, bakeries, and bars near conf!

Today, we’re announcing the preview release of ty, an extremely fast type checker and language server for Python, written in Rust.
In early testing, it's 10x, 50x, even 100x faster than existing type checkers. (We've seen >600x speed-ups over Mypy in some real-world projects.)
Yesterday, @opensourcepledge.com was on Nasdaq Tower in Times Square. I got to be there for it! Thank you to Nasdaq and congratulations to all of the featured companies who #paythemaintainers! 👏 What a great way to keep celebrating #maintainermonth! 💃
