I'm happy to share `ir`, a new command-line tool for running portable R scripts and Quarto documents. It's inspired by my two favorite parts of `uv`: self-describing scripts and tools you can run without installing first. opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-07...

ir 0.1.0: self-describing R scripts and Quarto documents

`ir` is a new command-line tool for running portable R scripts and rendering Quarto documents whose package requirements, and optional R selection, live inside the file itself.

Has anybody come up with a solution to this problem: you have a perfectly reproducible analysis pipeline that produces beautiful dynamic reports. But once you bring on even one collaborator things immediately devolve into email-attached word documents named manuscript_finalFinal_2.docx #rstats

Which language serves as the geospatial lingua franca — #pythonor #rstats? A quick look at Google Trends suggests R, but that’s a rather simplistic comparison. Has anyone come across a more in-depth study on the most popular languages for spatial analysis?

I know I'm biased, but maaaan, Formalist and Air work so well together in the latest Positron update. Dear #rstats, you should give Positron a try. 💨 Air — posit-dev.github.io/air/ 🎩 Formalist — github.com/atsyplenkov/...

It still bugs me that nrow() in #RStats is called nrow() and not nrows(). I type it wrong every time.

Consider this: to slow down #AI development, the community could deliberately mislabel correct answers as incorrect. By doing so, the false positive rate would rise, confusing the #LLM and disrupting its learning process. 🤖🤔

a lazy organizational tip for data analysts and researchers: create a single directory that holds all the exploratory or one-off scripts that don't yet have a proper home mine is called misc_R once a year (like today!) I satisfyingly shove the prior year's files into a subdirectory

I just realized there’s no emoji to represent data frames, databases, or even spreadsheets! What do you typically use #rstats #databs ? Here are my favorites so far: • 🗄️ this cabinet reminds me of data storage • 🗓️ if you squint, it might resemble a spreadsheet with all its cells • 📊⚾️ data base?

Ditching code autocompletion feels so freaking good 🍹. It was an illusion to think it actually speeds up #rstats code writing. For the past month, my workflow has been opening the same project in Positron and Cursor. If I get stuck, I start chatting with an LLM in Cursor.

Day 2 of porting my favorite RStudio addons to Positron. Introducing Formalist, an extension that allows you to make R function calls explicit, i.e., from select(mtcars, cyl) → dplyr::select(mtcars, cyl). It uses {pedant} #rstats 📦 by @wurli in the background!

I am in Auckland this week and doing a little bit of an #rstats tour in addition to attending the NZMS conference. The first photo is by me and the second photo is by Ross Ihaka. Black Crow Cafe seems to have closed so I grabbed a drink at the Scarecrow Cafe two shops down.

Hey there folks, if you're online,
On GitHub's where you'll see me shine
As `@atsyplenkov`, writing code all day,
Making repos in my own way

On Twitter's stage, I'm `@atsyplen`
Brief and swift, now and then
But if Blue Sky's your preferred domain
`@anatolii.nz` makes it plain

Three handles, three homes online
Each one different, each one mine
Pick your platform, take your pic
Find me coding, posting quick!

seems timely: after 8 years, I'm comfortable enough in my career that i can share "my truth" about {data.table} in #rstats one of the former {data.table} devs got me fired from my job at DataCamp b/c i chimed in on an "dplyr vs data.table" twitter thread.

New 📦 alert! {mall} is out now for both #rstats...and #python! The package uses #llm 's to run NLP operations recursively over a data frame (sentiment, summarization, translation, etc). For Python it's a #polars extension. Both use #ollama to interact with the LLM. mlverse.github.io/mall/

Great intro! I have been using it for months and there are almost no issues. If there are any, the @posit.co is very responsive on GitHub! BTW Positron does not support automatic updates yet, but windows-folks can do it semi-manually via scoop.sh and the r-bucket maintained by @cderv.bsky.social

# Add bucket
❯ scoop bucket add r-bucket https://github.com/cderv/r-bucket.git

# Install Positron
❯ scoop install positron

# Update when necessary
❯ scoop update positron
# positron: 2024.11.0-116 (latest version)
# Latest versions for all apps are installed! For more information try 'scoop status'
