{ggindex}: numbered points that explain themselves #rstats #ggplot2 new extension that I think should be useful. based on a long forgotten demo, that I decided to revisit. see more here: discindo.github.io/ggindex/ or discindo.org/posts/2026-1... the first release is submitted to CRAN.

Numbered Focus Points for ggplot2 Scatter Plots

A ggplot2 geom that highlights selected points of a scatter plot with numbered markers and lists their descriptions in a legend keyed by the same numbers, as on an annotated map.

{renv}, {rix}, rv, uvr, ir... so many new #RStats tools! I wrote up a blog post if you've want to unpack (haha) how they work and how they are different. Inspired by @rpodcast.bsky.social's wonderful Data Science Lab episode (thank you, Eric!). Check out the post here: rworks.dev/posts/r-mana...

{renv}, {rix}, rv, uvr, ir: An explosion of R package and environment managers – R Works

There has been an explosion of package/environment/platform managers in the R ecosystem recently. Here, we explore {renv}, {rix}, rv, uvr, and ir.

Hey #positron people. Am I correct in understanding that unlike in Rstudio there is way where the connection to Connect just works with plain pins::board_connect() and server and key are always required?

ParBayesianOptimization is back on CRAN. It's a package I decided to maintain after the original author posted on Reddit about the imminent removal and his unavailability few months ago. The issues it had were trivial, so I offered a fix first as PR and now deciding to maintain the fork. #rstats

"why don't men wear more color." i only dress for the approval of dogs, who mostly see blue, white, gray, black, and brown in the way that we do, so i don't wear other colors.

All writing is rewriting: R.U.R. is a 1920 science fiction play by the Czech writer Karel Čapek. "R.U.R." stands for Rossum's Universal Robots. The Wild Robot is a 2024 American animated science fiction film. A storm causes a Universal Dynamics cargo ship to lose six ROZZUM robots.

The shifting bell curve. Every summer since 1941, at every place on land, measured against how much that place's summers used to vary. In 1951–1980, a summer more than three standard deviations hotter than normal covered 0.1% of the land. In 2026 it covered 34%. #dataviz

In 1951–1980, 0.1% of the world's land had a summer more than 3σ above normal. In 2026: 34%. Watch the whole distribution move, year by year.

Listen, I just think it's weird that the same people who are saying they're worried that AI is going to wipe out humanity are also eager for military contracts that will give AI control of weapons.

I've published my rapid learning skill that I use when I don't want AI to just do all the work for me - I use it to learn new codebases & it's saved me, like, a gazillion hours when working on ellmer recently! 🎉 Repo: github.com/thisisnic/ra... Blog post: niccrane.com/posts/rapid-... #rstats #ai
