Little one is going to (half-)day care twice a week so that means time for a quick training before work 😎💻 Homegym = lifesaver if you’re juggling work, momlife, and all the other stuff us humans need to manage

Note to self: don’t plan a meeting when you *think* you’re child is going to be asleep. Because he is not going to be asleep. He falls asleep right after the meeting that did not happen should have ended 🤠. #momlife

Can you see the LMS/website behind me? 👀 It’s @athlyticz.bsky.social and I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining the leadership team! Exciting times 🤩. My role will be to help streamline ops, bring in more awesome instructors (lmk if you are one 😎), and help the platform scale! #edtech #rshiny

🙌 We’re excited to host @veerle.hypebright.nl for our next meet-up: www.meetup.com/rladies-colo... LLMs sound confident, but tools make results reliable. Join us for insights, examples & tips! Click the link to register 👩‍💻 📅 December 19, 25 🕒 4:00 PM (CET) 📍 Online #RLadies #RStats #LLMs #ellmer

Been a bit quiet here 🫢 Yes, part of the reason is that I still am on maternity leave (or parental leave, whatever you call it, my baby is 9.5 months old). So different priorities. But another reason is that I don’t like the short form format. I always have too much to tell 😂😅. Am I the only one?

In today's spotlight: precommit 🪝 A pre-commit hook is like a checkpoint. If the hook finds a problem, it stops the commit and tells you what to fix. In #rstats, you can add pre-commit hooks with precommit 📦. Built on the pre-commit framework it provides useful hooks specifically for R.

Baby news from the Netherlands: our son Senne was born two weeks ago! 👶🏻 And how cute is this @appsilon.bsky.social #rshiny Rhino onesie! 😍🦏 Thanks so much to the whole team there for this lovely package 🤗

I’m having a thing with cheatsheets lately 🙃. This time I have a Linux cheatsheet for you! 🐧 If you work with Linux distros like Ubuntu/RHEL/Fedora, this might be handy. Endlessly hitting the “up” arrow, using "history", or browsing internet for the same command can be tiring… 😂. So here you go!

Kids + #rstats = 😍 You just need to know which packages to choose so you don't scare them away with boring ML models or boxplots. For example: 🔹 beepr 🔹 fireworks 🔹 aRtsy 🔹 brickr 🔹 tictactoe 🔹 fun 🔹 cowsay 🔹 hexSticker 🔹 swirl 🔹 sudoko Full overview + examples 😀: www.linkedin.com/posts/veerle...

#RStats I'm so, so thrilled to finally share the release of Rlinguo, a mobile app that runs R 📱 This is a fully, native mobile app that uses #webR in the backend to run R functions. Available on the App Store (iPhone) & Play Store (Android) rtask.thinkr.fr/introducing-...

Played around with pal last week, the new kid in town 🤖. You can use pal as your friend in RStudio and Positron (shown in the video). Some highlights 🧵👇🏻

First week of my maternity leave 🤗 And it’s not a short one: I’m taking 12 months! Not a “standard” thing to do in the Netherlands, where you get 16 weeks (minimum) or more depending on your employer. But I have the opportunity to do so now and I’m going to grab it. Time for family 💙.

Another edition of Shiny Source Code Explained ✨🤓 And this time it is all about the code behind the new busy indicators that were added in Shiny 1.9 (July 2024)! hypebright.nl/en/shiny-en/... Enjoy! #rshiny #rstats

Shiny Source Code Explained: Busy Indicators - Hypebright

Curious how Shiny busy indicators work? Take a closer look at the source code behind spinner overlays and pulsing banners, and find out!

I can appreciate this 👌🏻 And with a little bit of work you could easily get this in your #rshiny app too 🤩 codepen.io/jkantner/pen...

ICYMI: Shiny 1.9 (July '24) comes with busy indicators ✨. Two types: spinners on recalculating outputs, and a page-level pulsing banner when the app is busy with something else (side-effects). How it works? That's in next week's edition of "Shiny Source Code Explained" 😎 #rstats #rshiny

The public beta version of Positron was released almost 6 months ago, and the team certainly hasn’t been idle! So what happened over the last half year? Is it worth switching? 👀 I definitely like where it's heading! Personal highlights: data explorer, command palette, help on hover + extensions 👇🏻📚

I really like this one!! 🤩

Last in-person training before my maternity leave! I recently set up and configured a server with Posit Workbench for a Dutch municipality and in today’s training I’m giving them some tools and guidance to survive without me on the short term 😜. They mainly work with #rstats, but also #python 😎
