How can I make my shell environment variables that are defined in ~/.zshenv accessible to R?

I can access them from a terminal-run R or opened RStudio. open -a RStudio

I tried adding readRenviron("~/.zshenv") to my .Rprofile but .zshenv contains more than export var=value.

1. Package manager: Homebrew
Install fav apps & CLI tools with it
Install Mac App Store apps with mas CLI
2. Dotfiles: Symlink configs to the ${HOME} folder using GNU Stow

base R is a collection of 14 packages.

Core (1): the foundational {base} package
Default (6): auto-attached on startup, which you can control with the env var R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES.
Other (7): available but not auto-loaded

I always wanted to open Rstudio from the terminal (with the cwd); not opening the app `open -a rstudio`. When I saw the option to open a quarto extension project with rstudio (see pic), I thought aha there is a way to do `open -a rstudio dirpath`.

TIL that the new #duckdb ui does not work without internet connection. I really hope this changes. #datasky

I actually like Harper Reed's innovative LLM codegen workflow a lot. Iterative brainstorming, detailed planning, and efficient execution, using tools like Claude, Aider, etc. to quickly build (small) software products.

Wow! So much impressive work poured into tinyplot.
Like Vincent says, this is a big release with a shedload of new features. Same small footprint, though ;-)

Here’s quick rundown of some of my favourites...

#rstats #dataviz
{tinyplot} 0.3.0 is out! 🚨

It's a lightweight #Rstats 📦 to draw beautiful and complex plots, using an ultra-simple and concise syntax.

This is a massive release! @gmcd.bsky.social @zeileis.org and I worked hard to add tons of new themes and plot types.

Check it out!

I was at the #duckcon 6 yesterday in Amsterdam. Blown away by what duckdb can do, is truly magic.

Thank you to everyone.

@laffra Thank you for the book and for sharing your experience and work pysheets, ltx, lifesaver.

It is the best one-stop shop for SOTA LLMs.

I finished reading nvim +Tutor. Mind-blowing! I can start using it fairly easily. :D

It was so easy to follow and felt so easy to remember motions, modes, commands, etc.

Here's a viz of the #Ethiopian Birr's depreciation, inspired by NYT's Ruble value plot. The Birr has weakened significantly, from around 11 Birr in 2008 to over 110 Birr per USD in late 2024. Following the shift to a mkt-based fx regime, its value dropped by 30% on July 29, 2024.

Hey #rstats

How can text be added outside the "panel" in ggplot2, say, at the bottom left parallel to the caption?
I want the text to grow,/wrap with the plot.

S7 0.2.0 is now on CRAN, thanks primarily to the hard work of @t-kalinowski.bsky.social. S7 is a collaborative effort to supersede S3 and S4 and you can read all about it (and what's new in 0.2.0) at www.tidyverse.org/blog/2024/11... #rstats
S7 0.2.0 - Tidyverse
S7 is a new package that simplifies object-oriented programming (OOP) in R. It combines the simplicity of S3 with the structure of S4 to create a clearer system that's accessible to everyone.
