Have #rstats folks run into this issue before:
```
Check: re-building of vignette outputs, Result: NOTE
Re-building vignettes had CPU time 4.1 times elapsed time
```
I'm starting to go mildly insane trying to fix! If you happen to have a solution, let me know! at forum.posit.co/t/cpu-time-x...
Doing something a bit different this year. I’m writing blog posts that have nothing to do with code or corporate. Just a guy posting whatever he wants to his own website because that’s how the internet should be.
So here’s a post about painting Warhammer!

After 9 years, I thought it was time for another major release of the forecast package for #rstats! New modelling functions, missing values now handled in ETS models, and a more consistent interface. robjhyndman.com/hyndsight/fo...
Thanks, @zeileis.org ! I really love the {colorspace} package - I might write a little standalone shiny app using these functions but just wanted to check before I went out and wrote it.
Before I go and try building this myself, is there a general colour palette assessment shiny app in #rstats? I love the apps in colorspace.r-forge.r-project.org/articles/hcl... by @zeileis.org et al. But I want to provide my own vectors of colours, and get the lovely assessment/example plots etc.
OK, thanks for this, Garrick! :)
Ah, thank you! I need to read the golem book next :)
Thanks, Barret!

Is there an #rstats best practices for including a shiny app in an R package? I see mastering-shiny.org/scaling-pack... by @hadley.nz and github.com/daattali/ddpcr by Dean Attali (couldn't find his handle!) - just curious on understanding best practices, bunding data, app, and the www folder etc.

It is with profound sadness I heard that my long-time friend and colleague, John Fox passed away this week.
He was the author of {car}, {effects}, {Rcmdr}, ... and numerous influential books. I will miss him greatly.

I remember John Fox as one of the most kind R Foundation #rstats members (ca. 2006-2023) giving wise and kind words often. The 1-1 interview he held with several of us, resulting in a useR!2008 pres and the article journal.r-project.org/articles/RJ-... It is sad to miss him. May he rest in peace!
I don't know how I've missed it because it's *right on the documentation home page*, but if you use {glue} for nice string interpolation in #rstats and you have {stringr} loaded (likely through the tidyverse), you can use str_glue() instead of glue::glue() or loading library(glue) glue.tidyverse.org

Okay, so anyone here joining R Dev Day AUS (21st Nov 2025)?
#rstats #rdevday
I'm reminded of how handy the usethis::browse_*() functions are and thought I'd remind people they exist. Choose from a menu of links or go straight to CRAN or GitHub. #rstats
I agree with this! It maybe also depends on your user-base, and if the changes break existing code - would the changes break things? If so, you could consider a deprecation cycle or a separate function. If your user base is small, you could go up one version e.g., 1.0.0 --> 2.0.0, perhaps?
R dev friends -
I am updating a package that implements an analytical method. The update will mean a fundamental change in the outputs compared to the current version of the pkg (but is based on consult with experts).
#rstats fam -- is there any way to create something this in R? eg you can create the graphs separately and then stitch together it together like below?
OK nothing like proclaiming in a public space and then quickly finding solution 🤪 If anyone else is stuck on this, sf seems to not work with plotly. If you put your coords in as a df, and use geom_path to plot with geom_tile it renders (and saves output correctly with .png) #rstats soln next comment
An #rstats mystery. Or maybe more #ggplot2. These histograms are generated with the exact same code and data. What has changed from R 4.5.1 to 4.5.2 that caused this change?
new #dplyr filtering function who dis 😍 meet filter_out()!
👍 GO PUT A THUMBS UP ON DAVIS'S TIDYUP THINGY ON GITHUB TO SHARE MY ENTHUSIASMMMM!! #rstats #databs
And, you know, provide your thoughts on this newly-proposed function if you have them 😌
A new release of the mgcv #RStats 📦 is out on CRAN and Simon Wood (U Edinburgh) has added some significant new features despite the small bump in version number:
🌟 scasm() for estimating GAMs with shape constrained smooths. Can be used with any family & smoothness selection is via the EFS method
We've made a blog post about a new major version of the #rstats tune package! Two main changes: parallel processing frameworks and the ability to tune postprocessors.

The detectCores() apocalypse is creeping up on us 👻🐛
As more people are getting access to 128+ CPU cores, code spinning up parallel cluster with detectCores() workers fails - not enough #RStats connections available
Friends, do *not* default to detectCores(), bc www.jottr.org/2022/12/05/a...
There are a lot of great posts out there that aren't very highly ranked.
Don't rely on bluesky to find you great content; you can find it on your own! Here's how:

Oh. My. Gosh. Data Science Lab was SO FUN today! Just casually sharing screens to walk through settings live was incredible.
I'm gonna start a thread here of some of the stuff we shared/learned together as a community. Great stuff was shared by all! #databs #rstats #python
