Balloon wall art inspired by the ggplot2 hex sticker. The display features a hexagonal frame made of black balloons, filled with white balloons inside and surrounded by a background of light and dark blue balloons. A line graph with black balloon segments and round coloured nodes runs across the centre, and the word “ggplot2” is spelled out in black balloon letters below the chart.

Happy 18th birthday ggplot2! #rstats

Pretty little CLIs – Notes from a data witch How to make a gorgeous command line interface in R using the cli package. Somewhere along the way I accidentally learned about ANSI control codes, which strikes me as unfortunate

finally learnt how to use to {cli} spinner bars thanks to @djnavarro.net

Hi #rstats! Does anyone know of any good free online self-paced comprehensive R video courses for complete beginners? Ideally, with interactive exercises that would be automatically checked, and the ability to gain certificates. Thanks!

Excited to share a new #rstats project: ggplot2 layer explorer #shiny app!

My latest experiment in demystifying ggplot2 internals gives you interactive control over the rendering pipeline. I hope this helps make the internals more accessible and, most importantly, fun! 😄

Posit We’re happy to announce that we’re supporting Typst by funding one of their full-time engineers.

At Posit, we love @typst.app:

⚡ Make PDFs in milliseconds, not minutes
✨ The power of LaTeX with today's technologies
✍️ Modern typography (including emojis!)
🧠 Clear mental model

So I'm thrilled to announce that we're now supporting its development: posit.co/blog/posit-a...

#rstats

A 3x3 grid of radar charts showing differences in average charisma, strength, wisdom, dexterity, intelligence and constitution for each combination in the DnD alignment chart. A zoomed in version shows the same for unaligned.

For this week's #TidyTuesday, we're looking at Dungeons and Dragons monsters!

📊 Obviously had to make a small multiple alignment chart
🔍 Magnified version to show labels
❓ Radar charts: the chaotic evil of chart types alignment?

Those download numbers do not include downloads from packagemanager.posit.co/client/#/ which explains part of the drop, surely.

when you redirect, the shell opens the file BEFORE the program starts sudo echo blah > file.txt first I'll open file.txt... THEN I'll run sudo echo blah this is why file.txt isn't opened as root!

I think I have finally managed to articulate this very fundamental but slightly counterintuitive fact about how shell redirection works

Really looking forward to today’s data visualisation class, where I’ll be going behind the scenes to walk through the little design decisions that can transform a chart.

Free to watch for anyone interested: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/designing-...

(Recording will be available later)

TL;DR: It should be working now! (Pls let me know if not.)

There is usually a small (?) delay until the binaries are built, and seems like you tried to install right in that gap: github.com/rstudio/r-bu...

Re. Fedora 41 binaries on 42, yes, Fedora changes quickly enough that this does not work.

A Mother and Father Were Deported Under Trump. But What Happened to Their Daughter? (Gift Article) The Trump administration sent the mother of a 2-year-old to Venezuela and the father to a Salvadoran prison. Their daughter remains somewhere in the United States.

The Trump administration continues to ignore the courts.

278 men are still in CECOT prison without a trial, sentence, or any form of due process.

Here's one of their stories. Dad is in CECOT. Mom, deported to Venezuela. Their beautiful toddler, in foster care in the US, whereabouts unknown.

If you are not personally interested in attending this workshop, you can also sponsor participation of students!

# unz() lets you connect to a .zip and treat it like a mini file system, # and you can load files from inside it one_zipped_csv_among_others <- readr::read_csv( unz("lotsa_zipped_csvs.zip"), "one_csv.csv" ) # readr::read_csv() can read a .zip with a single CSV in it one_zipped_csv <- readr::read_csv("big_zipped_file.zip")

Thing I just learned in #rstats: unz() lets you connect to a .zip and load files from inside it without actually unzipping it (great for a file I'm working with that's 30 MB zipped and 1+ GB unzipped, with multiple CSVs in it)

Yeah, it is possible that we are missing something. Nevertheless I tested the nanoparquet solution for leaks, on errors as well.

FWIW when I wrote the unwinding for nanoparquet, I found that a PROTECT() was enough there: github.com/gaborcsardi/...

R 4.5.0 is released and includes the `penguins` data popularised by {palmerpenguins} 📦! Some variable name changes means that scripts need editing to use the built-in datasets. The new {basepenguins} 📦 automates that! ellakaye.github.io/basepenguins #RStats
