You probably saw `filter_out()` in {dplyr} 1.2.0 but did you notice `when_any()` and `when_all()`? Not only is it easier to write conditions, but the usage of commas instead of | and & means formatters like air will align all conditions the same 🤩 #rstats dplyr.tidyverse.org/reference/wh...

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited! - `filter_out()` for dropping rows - `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats! tidyverse.org/blog/2026/02...
dplyr 1.2.0
dplyr 1.2.0 fills in some important gaps in dplyr's API: we've added a new complement to `filter()` focused on dropping rows, and we've expanded the `case_when()` family with three new recoding and re...

{ralger} #rstats package looks like an absolute game changer in the task of web scraping for people with very occasional need in this rather nerdy task 🤩 Instead of drilling manually through cached HTML, one can use intuitively named functions that just do it ✨ 🔗 feddelegrand7.github.io/ralger/
Ever needed to recode a variable based on whether it matches something in a named list? Have you ever used rlang's `!!!` operator? It's pretty dang cool. I feel like {rlang} is so cool, but so enigmatic 😂 #rstats Here's a pic & gist (bc it's frustrating to not be able to copy/paste the pic) #databs

Mastering typefaces and fonts in #rstats has always been harder than it should. I have tried to collect much of my relevant knowledge in this deep-dive blog post so you can spend your time picking the right typeface instead of cursing at the computer
Fonts in R

I find the lack of empathy among #dataviz practitioners a bit disturbing. Many of you know of my suffering this time of year, when the Portuguese Homeland Security Report is published, full of pages like this. And yet no one ever offered me temporary asylum to minimize the impact. It's unforgivable.
My US-based colleagues, FYI: Finnish Research Council is about to announce a special call to fund researchers abroad to relocate to Finland. By all means this is not intended to lure you into moving to Finland, it just happens to be planned right now by pure chance.

I really liked this idea of using a histogram as a legend in a choropleth map (since land isn't unemployed; people are), so I made a little guide to doing it with #rstats, {ggplot2}, and {patchwork} www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...
How to use a histogram as a legend in {ggplot2} | Andrew Heiss
Land isn’t unemployed—people are. Here’s how to use R, {ggplot2}, {sf}, and {patchwork} to create a histogram legend in a choropleth map to better see the distribution of values.
