This gives a fantastic framing of how to think about reproducibility (it's a spectrum) and how to use renv with intention. Highly recommend, even if you're not using renv, to get a better understanding of how to live in peace as R and package versions advance 🕊️ #rstats

Hoping to share some perspectives, extensions, and other tips in case you're interested in exploring Positron.

Tell me something you do when you code that other people would tell you that you shouldn't do.

Tell me the rules you break!

I'll go first: I work in untitled files in the wrong project directories all the time. Like, all the time. Yes, I do tend to lose things 😂 #databs #rstats #python

I'm exited to announce a new resource about making slides with quarto and revealjs. This book is the combination of all the work I have done in this area, reordered and polished up

There isn't a lot of new information yet, but this format allows me to add more easily

Adapted ggarrow to the new ggplot2 theme features!

```r
library(ggplot2)

ggplot(ggarrow::whirlpool(5), aes(x, y, group = group)) +
ggarrow::geom_arrow() +
theme_minimal(ink = "purple")
```
#ggplot2 #rstats
An x/y plot with arrows spiraling outwards from the center. Everything is a shade of purple or white.

Great talk about {renv} by @pipinghotdata.com at #positconf. Very practical strategies for restoring and updating project state.
Has anyone also used rv (a2-ai.github.io/rv-docs/)? In my little experience, it is very much like uv for python and looks more helpful than {renv}. #rstats

Spaces like this remind us how powerful our global community is when we learn, collaborate and build together.

People keep telling me they can't afford to attend #PositConf2025 next week, so I need to make a public service announcement: attending virtually is very affordable (or free!) & is amazing! Get registered & hangout with me on the Discord server!! #databs #rstats #python
Screenshot from https://posit.co/conf-pricing-2025/ showing the posit conf virtual ticket pricing. $99 for standard virtual ticket, $49 for Government and Non-profit employees, and Free for students, academics, and needs-based attendees. There are hand-drawn doodles by Libby that highlight each option and one note says "Plus, Virtual Day!"
