Do you want to reposition all your panes in IDEs? Is it in your disposition to set shortcuts on your keys? Do you hate the imposition when RStudio full crashes? Do you want more exposition of your Git and GitHub caches? Is your work a composition of both R code and python? Then you’re in a great position To start trying Positron!

The result of being in the "Writing poetry about statistics" workshop at #USCOTS2025 while all my friends are in the Positron one....

Today I’ll be sharing some of my favorite Quarto learning resources 💻✨

Most of what I know, I learned thanks to the amazing work of others. So this thread is a small tribute to open educational content and the people behind it.

Hadley Wickham in a white t-shirt and jeans sits on a light-colored couch across from Michael Chow, wearing a dark green shirt and pants, who is seated on an orange pouf. Between them is a white coffee table with books. In the background, there's a dark bar with shelves displaying numerous bottles, a wood-paneled wall, and a black, modern fireplace. Text overlay reads "Hadley Wickham CHIEF SCIENTIST, POSIT".

Ever wonder how the #tidyverse came to be? 🤔

I often find myself wanting to use this as my commit message, then stop and try to write something more informative. I guess I'm not the only one.

We want to thank Posit for their support! With Posit’s help, we were able to grow our team by one full time engineer, committed to make the Typst compiler even better ❤️

I need a closer look at the cutout detail in the arms, never seen this in an academic gown before!

Scale from 0 - Not Likely to 10 - Very Likely organized as rectangles for 0 and 10 that span the width of three squares, with numbers 1 - 9 organized in three rows.

This is up there with the craziest survey design I’ve seen.

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! 💃

I mean, I’d ask back “do you want to be confident or credible?”

Ha, Day 2 is so good, we simply had to repeat it for Day 3!

Thanks for the catch, updated now.

UPDATE: We have data on >1000 terminated #NSF grants at grant-watch.us. Thanks to all who have been contributing data the past few days.

We've also added a "Reports" section with some analyses. For NSF, we see that the STEM education directorate has been absolutely pummeled.

A little late, but here is my #tidytuesday #pydytuesday submission -- the useR! 2025 program, but with #python!

mine.quarto.pub/user2025-but...

Thanks to Chat GPT for helping translate my original #rstats code to Python. Loved how easy it was to go from gt to great_tables. Details at the link 👆.

This week’s #TidyTuesday dataset is the #useR2025 program, curated by @minecr.bsky.social.
