Do I know anyone who knows anyone who knows A LOT about the coupled-clock mechanics of SA node cells so they could read some paragraphs I wrote for a general audience and tell me how badly I %$&ed up my explanation?

Willing to help me test T, a new domain-specific language for building reproducible pipelines (in #RStats, #Python or #Julia)? I'd like to see how easy it is for people to use agents with T to build reproducible pipelines. If you're interested in trying it out, please follow these instructions.

A demonstration on how normals can influence the look of a rendered model 1. Face normals only 2. Vertex normals calculated as the area-weighted mean of the face normals 3. Vertex normals calculateed via finite differencing on the signed-distance field #RStats

so anyone use the rownames attribute often in #rstats? curious if there are any advantages or conveniences that this attribute brings?

A huge thank you from @ivelasq3.bsky.social and I to @kylieainslie.bsky.social for inviting us to visit the R-Ladie's Melbourne chapter for an hour tonight 😍 We had sooo much fun meeting everyone and answering all the questions we could about #rstats in Positron! (Which we're always here to answer)

Quick reminder of tonight's Ihaka Lecture where I'll be talking about creativity, code, and data visualisation 📊 📆 30 Jul 2026 ⌚ 18:00 NZST (in person) ⌚ 18:30 NZST / 07:30 BST (online) 📍Science Centre, Auckland / Online More info: www.auckland.ac.nz/en/science/a... #RStats #DataViz

#RStats 📦 {stbl} 0.4.0 is updated on CRAN! Biggest changes: the backend is rewritten in C, and there's a C API if you'd like to do stbl-like checks at a lower level in your packages. Please let me know if you give it a try! I'll speak about stbl & function design at #PositConf2026 in September!

I've open-sourced a web service container that will give you a WorldPop population count anywhere on earth given a point (100x100m), a point + radius, or a geojson polygon. It's using R2025A at the moment, but can change as needed. github.com/InternetSoci...

We're hiring in statistics, econometrics, ML, statistical computing, data vis, etc. It's a great place to work, which is why I've been here for more than 30 years! Details at bit.ly/3Tld8UV. Level is roughly equivalent to Assistant/Associate Prof in North America. #stats #datascience #rstats

Recently graduated with your doctorate in statistics, econometrics, or a related discipline? Interested in being in an environment supportive of open source software? Then this position (careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/jo...) might be for you, and we want you! #rstats 🐨🦘

#RStats Isosurface experiments - before and after normal calculation. Since my input is a signed distance field (SDF) I am using the tetrahedral finite differencing technique to calculate the normal at each vertex. See: iquilezles.org/articles/nor...

#RStats #ggplot2 challenge for someone who has the time. A triangle renderer which interpolates vertex normals and colours across each tri. (or maybe it already exists??)

Saw some very nice immersive #DataViz at Auckland Museum yesterday 📊

Part of the upcoming release of #rayshader 1.0 is a complete overhaul of water meshing, allowing for multiple user-defined regions/elevations. But doing this properly on an arbitrary mesh is hard, especially if you want the mesh water tight against the terrain--but the results are worth it! #RStats
