R-Universe by @rOpenSci is an extremely useful project.

My latest R package, {pmtiles}, is not a good fit for CRAN as it bundles a pre-compiled Go library.

With R-Universe, I was able to get installable cross-platform binaries built in hours!

The last few months trying my hand at writing a newsletter I have been posting only in Dutch, but from now on my newsletters will also contain an English translation.

Don't miss the first English one, on hallucinations, the easy or unease of learning and how to use AI.

I shared this earlier because I think it is so funny but then I also thought to myself, what advice would I (a learning scientist by background, married to someone who teaches programming) actually give a developer who feels bad reading this? How can you avoid writing this?

A few tips:

TIL how to do a "Git blame" for a deleted line. 👌

git log -S path/to/file
git log -G path/to/file

Find out which commit removed a particular word/line in GIT

With both GIT tools and command line, what is the easiest way to find out which commit removed a particular word from a file?

I Vibe Coded an R Package
and it ... actually works?!?

I wanted an #rstats package to exist so I spent $20 and got Claude Code to build it for me.

Plus a shiny app using it: https://jcarroll.shinyapps.io/kanjiexplorer/

I've been using Air since switching to Positron and have been loving it. My only criticism is the styling of tibbles (it just breaks them). Apparently that has been solved
