Simple #RStats Foreign Function interface using libffi, inspired by the Rffi package by Duncan T Lang. A fair amount of "conscious" memory leaks and experimention with S7 on my side. Despite the overhead compared to .Call, calling arbitrary C functions at runtime is nice.

Thanks for the support of @caixaresearch.bsky.social to continue our efforts to use tissue engineering to study cerebral malaria. We will develop stem-cell derived immunocompetent BBB models with microglia to study malaria, in a side by side comparison with spatial transcriptomics in patients.
1/ Cerebral malaria is a severe form of malaria that causes damage to the blood vessels in the brain.

With a #HealthResearch grant, @mariabernabeu.bsky.social uses analytical techniques and human 3D models of blood vessels to ⬆️ our understanding and test new therapies.

#rstats Please welcome Jarl, a new R linter.

Jarl is a CLI tool with extensions in VS Code, Positron, and Zed. It can check thousands of lines of R code in milliseconds.

Jarl provides several output formats, a Github Actions workflow, and more.

How to be more accurate than humans at abstract screening tasks using several small open-weight LLM?

We actually circumvented the "LLM lie and hallucinate" problem for simple text analysis tasks !!

Let me explain

R(r)ustaceans out there, please give us a #wasm runtime within #Rstats, I said khalas after 5 hours of vibecoding this 😂 (my bad, I should have gone for a pure C wasm runtime library, at least there I can read the header files). All of this for faster fibonacci 😂

#Rstats gurus
do we have tools to respond to this idea from john chambers ?
""" If not, can the non-functionality be
parametrized... ? R
does not have organized support for such validity
investigations, but developing tools for the purpose
would be a worthwhile project."""

I recently discovered Conventional Comments (conventionalcomments.org) for providing a pseudo-standard set of labels for feedback and just tried it for an article review and it was really helpful to specify issues vs. thoughts vs. suggestions, etc. Hopefully it's helpful for the authors too!

Sustainable and effective vibe coding requires good taste and that taste is definitely not going to be acquired through vibe coding.
I guess it also helps that you vibe code in a language with good baseline taste in the training sets like #Rstats of course (^_^)

I put out a patch release of mirai today. Version 2.5.2 really improves the OpenTelemetry integration so you can more easily see into your async workflows. Other key ecosystem packages will roll out with this enabled - next up: Shiny!

Minimalist Async Evaluation Framework for R
Designed for simplicity, a mirai evaluates an R expression asynchronously, locally or distributed over the network. Built on nanonext and NNG for modern networking and concurrency, scales efficiently ...

As it happens, there is a R level equivalent of the C API finalization registration mechanism stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-d...
Never saw it in the wild, but it looks like some CRAN packages use it (expectedly lot of these packages manage external processes)

Use any python library and you quickly find yourself buried under layers upon layers of encapsulated OOP inheritance crap, the tracebacks are order of magnitude worse than tidyverse NSE tracebacks before the rlang package (this is when the module author allows you to see traces)

R version 4.5.2 "[Not] Part in a Rumble" (source version) has been released. (You can find it in cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-4/, or wait for CRAN to be updated.)

luz v0.5.1 is now on #rstats CRAN. Just a small bug fix related to forwarding `predict` parameters to the model. I also added a new Variational Autoencoder example to our examples gallery: mlverse.github.io/luz/articles...
