#ggblanket users: I'm going to break this package with a major version update at some point. Things have changed, and I've thought of a new way to acheive what I want. So please use renv etc for any projects using ggblanket. It's too messy & time-consuming for me to bother deprecating, sorry #rstats

Is there any r package out there that blends colours together? I.e. like ggblend but with input and output of hex colours. I have something in the works, but first need to confirm I'm not reinventing the wheel #rstats

Enjoyed Hadley's keynote at Posit 2025. But disagreed with the statement that AI can't do maths. My understanding (& testing) of Claude.ai is that it can. If it identifies it's a maths question, it runs code in the background, and then provides the answer back in natural language #rstats #posit2025

I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN.
It's not every day we have a new major #ggplot2 release but it is a fitting 18 year birthday present for the package.
Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats

I'm creating a bunch of flexible themes for a mega update of #ggblanket.. They're all the same, but different defaults for colours to make things easy. I've currently got a grey, beige, light, and dark one. Then I wondered about alternative grey/beige options with white gridlines. Thoughts? #rstats

I really love trailing commas. You often never know how many args you need when you start, and it makes it easier to incrementally add to it. Think all DEVs should support where they can #rstats

I've developed a bunch of useful functions that I have as extras in #ggblanket. They're just #ggplot2 helpers really. I'm not sure if they should ideally be in a separate package? There's not heaps. I'm not sure if a new package might be hard to get on CRAN, and I'm low on energy for that #rstats

Introducing my new #rstats package {kitchensink}
Not sure what the right model to fit is? Should you allow random intercepts, slopes, both? What do Bayesian methods say?
Just call {kitchensink::throw} to fit every possible model and see how your results differ!
