#RStats Accidental Art! These came out looking like Henry Moore sculptures! Running experiments with lighting 3d models and rendering only with {grid} graphics
Linguistics sabotage: get the word "wugs" used in Bluey
Friday night time to kick back with some YouTube youtu.be/sZDclg-P15s?...

A fly-by ski trip generated entirely in #RStats with #rayshader and #rayrender, featuring realistic lighting for that location at a specific date and time, properly marked roads, trails, ski trails, streams, lakes, houses, and 2 million (!) individually rendered trees! All generated from {sf} data!
#RStats WIP: rendering 3d models in {grid} graphics Overview: Manipulate a 3d mesh object into a grid::polygonGrob() call 1. Colored by coordinates 2. Colored by normal direction 3. Flat shading 4. Code snippet
Happy to announce this little release of recipes! This releases comes with a new way to look inside a recipe partway through, a speedup for steps that are applied to many columns, and multi-column support in step_regex() and step_count(). opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-08... #rstats #tidymodels
recipes 1.4.0
recipes 1.4.0 is now on CRAN. This release adds a `stop_at` argument to `bake()` for inspecting a recipe partway through, makes `prep()` and `bake()` dramatically faster on wide data, and lets…

I got hit by a heavy wave of imposter syndrome today when it fully hit me that my #PositConf2026 talk comes down to "pretty much every #RStats pkg should import my {stbl} pkg". But seriously it will make things work better! Stick around for "The Design of Everyday R Functions" 340pm, 2026-09-26
#RStats putting together a test case so I can think about what a grid-compatible "triangleMeshGrob()" might look like.
posit::conf(2026) is coming faster and faster and I'm finishing up my sticker designs! If you have used my #slidecrafting tools, attended a talk, a workshop, is interested at all, please come up to me to receive a sticker and an optional chat!
#RStats pink cuboids * signed distance field: {csgr} * isosurface extraction using naive surface nets: {isosurface} * rendering via {rayrender} & {rgl} Each cuboid = function interpolated sphere/cube, repeated infinitely, evaluated within a 2x2x2 volume to concretize a triangulated mesh

#RStats compatibility-breaking, Ill-considered syntax hot take: change my mind! In addition to "$", R should also allow using "." and "->" for accessing named members of lists and environments If x <- list(a = 1) Then the following are equivalent x$a x.a x->a

#RStats moody rendering continues! * 3d noise field via {ambient} ambient::noise_cubic() * Isosurface extaction via surface nets * rendering via {rayrender}
Working on a new raster engine for #rstats, {garry}, powered by {gdalraster}, {anvl} and {mirai}. Still messy as hell but already the performance is pretty exciting. Only for the brave right now but ideas and opinions are still welcome! github.com/belian-earth... #rspatial #remotesensing
Popped three locks today. Everyone clap. <takes bow>
Also, I may be biased, but I do quite like the hex sticker 😉
After many years of using various incarnations of it in my own #bioinformatics workflows, I've finally packaged up {corner} and released a development version on GitHub. For those moments in #rstats dev when you just want a quick peek at the corner of a table. github.com/lpembleton/corner

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.
