oooh new version of Positron just released and it has (1) github copilot chat and (2) automatic {dplyr} code generation based on filtering/sorting/etc that you do in the data viewer #rstats
Me saying "hey it's github copilot chat in my positron" Automatically generated dplyr code that matches the filtering and arranging that I did by clicking on columns in the data viewer

Not currently. And I think it would be hard to get all the details right.

I made a new quarto revealjs template based on Pechakucha, a presentation format where you have 20 slides that auto-advances after 20 seconds. Once started you will not be able to stop it. And it will make sure you have 20 slides whether you like it or not

I'm a big fan of this idea! I need to write a blog post on this, but bslib + brand.yml + pkgdown's light switch is a killer combo for branded pkgdown sites with light/dark themes.

The {btw} site is a good example posit-dev.github.io/btw/
All the magic is in _pkgdown.yml github.com/posit-dev/bt...

The myth of meritocracy inspires the implicit assumption that someone’s degree of success reflects their level of competence and skill.

I think that this is one of the most toxic myths of our time.

🎨 Theming got a huge overhaul with the latest #ggplot2 release. In honour of that @teunbrand.bsky.social has written a comprehensive deep-dive into styling your plots, covering both old and new functionality. Grab a coffee and dive in!

ggplot2 styling
This post discusses one function in ggplot2: `theme()`. Find out about the glamour of graphics in this deep-dive article.

Sometimes you make pain worse by flinching away from it and if you instead do it more regularly it feels much less bad (e.g. running R CMD check)

I hadn’t noticed that, but it’s certainly the vibe with these three.

Three phrases that capture some of the tidyverse team culture:

Everybody takes out the trash

We suffer so users don’t have to

If it hurts, do it more often

Just learned: It's so easy to sort strings that are numbers in proper numerical order with the {stringr} #Rstats 📦's `str_sort()` function and numeric = TRUE!!
x <- c("8", "10", "1", "40")
str_sort(x, numeric = TRUE)
[1] "1" "8" "10" "40"

Running an effective Code of Conduct committee is essential to building a welcome, inclusive community. But it's demanding, complex work to do well. So @ropensci.org's team is sharing our CoC management materials with an open license. We get better by learning from each other.

We hope they are helpful for other groups and organizations.
