Hey #RStats! You love #Positron but you miss the .Rproj files from #RStudio to launch your project? Well, did you know that a single .cmd file could do the trick? carbon.now.sh?bg=rgba%2817...

Very early #TidyTuesday for 2026 week 10 😂 Data: Cap-phrases, when someone says something is "likely", what probability do they actually mean? Code: github.com/rajodm/TidyT... #dataviz #rstats #ggplot2

Horizontal interval with dots chart showing the probability ranges assigned by survey respondents to 19 vague probability expressions, from
"Almost No Chance" to "Will Happen". For each row shows the 50%, 80%, and 95% intervals of responses alongside the median. Terms at the
extremes show more tight agreement while middle terms like "Realistic Possibility" and "Might Happen" show wide variation across respondents.

Very nice features! But shouldn't `filter()` be aliased with `filter_in()` then?

Very interesting! It made me ask ChatGPT "How often are you asked for help about the R package crosstable? Where are the main questions and from what country do they come?" The answer was interesting, although I don't really trust it 😅

Dan Chaltiel @danchaltiel.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

Nice, I use that a lot too 👍 Here is how I write it: dta_transcript_merged <- dta_transcript |> summarise(text=toString(text), .by=c(idea_snippet, idea_theme)) toString collapses with a comma, though.

Dan Chaltiel @danchaltiel.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

Same here. Also, I'm using more and more cli::format_inline() instead of glue() and its an absolute gem. I hope they will merge the 2 in the future.

Dan Chaltiel @danchaltiel.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

I'd prefer this, but having to pipe factor() then fct_recode() is a bit much. I'll probably have to use a custom helper then.

020

Dan Chaltiel @danchaltiel.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

Hey #Rstats! What is your favorite #tidyverse way to turn a logical into a factor? I'm using `factor(ifelse(x, "Yes", "No"))`, but it feels a bit ugly, and `fct_recode()` doesn't work on logicals.

Dan Chaltiel @danchaltiel.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Great, thanks for the information, I should be cautious then!

Dan Chaltiel @danchaltiel.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Oh great, this means I can test it right now 🤩 I have some data privacy constraints on some projects, and I'm wondering about the "code search" step. If I'm using this, say with OpenAI, would all the code in my project get sent to the server?

Dan Chaltiel @danchaltiel.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Whoa, this seems life-changing! So we cannot use it yet on regular RStudio until we have the side panel, right? Do you know whether this feature release is expected soon?

Dan Chaltiel @danchaltiel.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

I think you nailed it, "I need to spend less time with my computer and more time with people." 😂

Dan Chaltiel @danchaltiel.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

Interesting, but I'm not sure I understood correctly. We should not use 42 because students and AIs will think it is the "only right value"? Because in actual problems, you either replicate or cross-validate your simulations, so I'm not sure how the seed can lead to incorrect results.

For now, it is the lack of floating windows for plots and HTML views that prevents me from migrating : github.com/posit-dev/po... Also, they recently integrated LLM features by default, which makes me very nervous about confidentiality 😱

When I see a report filled with p-values and no effect sizes, I worry. When I see model metrics and no baseline comparison, I worry. Statistics is more than math. It’s the discipline of contextual honesty. #DataScience #MachineLearning #AI #RStats

Nice! What feature do you love especially, compared to flextable or gt? I was considering adding a tinytable output in my {crosstable} package, but I'm curious about what it brings.

Dan Chaltiel @danchaltiel.bsky.social · 30/09/2025

This has been asked github.com/rstudio/rstu..., but unfortunately the issue was closed for inactivity before being addressed. It is significantly easier to switch on Positron than RStudio, though. Rig is great, but a bit overkill for small projects.
