(1/3) Every week, I review an open-source project in my newsletter. This week, the focus is on the lang project.

The lang library enables the translation of any function's documentation to a different language by using LLM on the fly.

Pin your data and model objects to Databricks Volumes in #RStats!

With pins, you can store an object on a board, like Dropbox, Posit Connect, or Amazon S3.

We have merged support for pinning objects to Databricks Volumes with the `board_databricks()` function!

A new version of the #rstats probably package is on CRAN. A minor update with a bug fix and under-the-hood changes for the upcoming tune version.

But there’s finally a hex logo (thanks to Edgar Ruiz) so we have that going for us. Which is nice.
