Do I know anyone on here who writes music for fun? Is it worth it to use eg. distrokid to get it on platforms? Not looking for income, just spread it easily. @mode7games.bsky.social maybe?

If you have used ry, the typechecker for R that I've built in an attempt to bring the power of python's ty to R-land, how did it go? What did you like about it and what was annoying? Any wishes that are unanswered? github.com/sims1253/ry #rstats

People of ry, to celebrate my PhD defense, here is 0.11.0. Six new checks: silently ignoring na.rm, returning logical(0) from as.character(), recursive defaults, any() compared to a scalar. And, most importantly, we have a new logo thanks to my lovely mum. github.com/sims1253/ry #rstats

Watched Bob Carpenter's StanCon talk and decided the Stan stack deserved some love. PRs incoming to stan-math, stanc3, bridgestan + walnutpie: −15% walltime per gradient, a silent autodiff blowup on degenerate eigenvalues (ESS 29→411 when fixed), and a small pile of bugs 👀 :3 #rstats #stan
