In which use cases does #RStats excel for you compared to other languages?
If you've done it other ways and speak from experience, even better.

Against my better instincts, I have written some notes on how human probability judgements work and what you should expect from surveys that ask people to guess what proportion of the population is transgender. I hope never to speak of this matter again
Some notes on probability judgement – Notes from a data witch
For the love of fuck, literally nobody thinks that 20% of the population is transgender. Please stop sharing that ridiculous YouGov statistic

I'm considering writing a proposal for R Consortium ISC funding to write a free & open source book on LLMs/AI in R. Advice out there is scattered between different resources. Wondering if this is something the wider #rstats community would be interested in, & what folks would like to see in there?

Hey #rstats friends! 👋
Only one week to go until my "Introduction to R Packages" tutorial at #WOMBAT2025!
This is a gentle introduction to making R packages, going from initial code to `devtools::check()`
Still plenty of spots available :)

In case you didn't know:
You can run your package unit tests with {testthat} in parallel with two simple steps (see testthat.r-lib.org/articles/par...):
tldr:
1. Add `Config/testthat/parallel: true` to DESCRIPTION.
2. Add `TESTTHAT_CPUS=8` to your .Renviron and restart R.
