I had the privilege of teaching a two-day workshop, Modern Geospatial Data Analysis with R, at the @rstudio conference with an amazing group of TAs and participants. I've made the slides available here: bit.ly/36WMUKe, #rstats, #rspatial, #gischat

New coolest map ever just dropped - Canopy Compass has put out a crop viability map that includes specialty crops. This is Mulberry viability (I'll do more below)

@lisacmuth I must be crazy but as I play around with Datawrapper, I'm not seeing a "histogram" option. I just want a simple histogram of a numeric variable 🙂

Dear friends, we are looking for a talented front-end developer to help us build #dataviz and mapping platforms. Details: zevross.com/jobs/ Please share 🙂 #gischat #reactjs #typescript

@thomas_mock @PhDemetri I've been using this for a couple of months now and it's been impressive.

@PhDemetri I would bet on around 2023.09.25 😜: youtube.com/watch?v=TlzMKS… Docs: docs.posit.co/ide/user/ide/g… Chat interface: mlverse.github.io/chattr/

When Will Rstudio have some AI completion code tools?

@kyle_e_walker Well done Kyle!

This week, my #rstats package tidycensus passed the milestone of 500,000 all-time downloads from the Posit CRAN mirror A sincere thanks to all who have used the package over the past six and a half years! And if you haven't used it yet - now's a great time to try it out! walker-data.com/tidycensus/

🌍 May 22-23, 2024🌎 I will teach a two-day online workshop about modern approaches to work on and visualize spatial data in R. Learn more at buff.ly/3UKQ9kF Email me if you have any questions! #rstats #rspatial #gischat

This was solved by @kennedymwavu via the preset = TRUE argument! Thank you 🙂

Any chance one of you has a tip for this shiny-bslib-related issue? Seems like a simple one (just the navbar background color!) but I haven't come up with a solution, #rstats: community.rstudio.com/t/bootstrap-na…

I didn't realize that the stringr R package had added a fixed() modifier like gsub's fixed = TRUE so that literal text is compared, #rstats. Example: library(stringr) str_replace("my (dog) has fleas", "(dog)", "dog") str_replace("my (dog) has fleas", fixed("(dog)"), "dog")

A handy git command -- this will give you the git commit where a line of text got removed: git log -S 'text that accidentally got removed' /path/to/file

For all the promise and controversy around Chat GPT it sure can minimize coding chores. Here I just wanted to separate R packages by commas and add quotations -- worked first try. #rstats

If you need to generate a CREATE TABLE statement for a table in #rstats the DBI::sqlCreateTable() function is a good place to start.

Boring but handy. Browse to a directory on your computer from #rstats with this command. I'm finding it useful when I create a temporary directory and want to review what's in there. tempdir_path <- tempdir() utils::browseURL(tempdir_path)

@Denironyx That's cool! Hadn't seen that before.

@zevross Interesting. I was recently looking into the `pkgndep` jokergoo.github.io/pkgndep/

Useful! The pak #rstats package has a handy function for showing the dependency tree of a package -- pkg_deps_tree()

gt `0.10.0` is now out on CRAN. Here are some new features: - nanoplots, tiny interactive plots - add columns/rows to your table - units notation - the `from_column()` helper - `fmt_icon()` for adding icons! The full set of release notes available here: github.com/rstudio/gt/rel….

⚠️ rgdal, rgeos, and maptools won’t be available on CRAN after October 2023. ⚠️ What are the consequences of this change? What do you need to do as a user and as a developer? Read my blog post at buff.ly/3NbhLez #rstats #rspatial #gischat #geocompx

tidycensus 1.5 just hit CRAN! This major release includes support for new datasets (detailed DHC-A file, congressional districts in the 2020 Census), enhancements for ACS data, and more. Learn all about it in Thursday's free webinar: eventbrite.com/e/722985698687… #rstats #rspatial

Super-succinct post on how easy it is to query a remote file (without downloading the whole thing!) using parquet and DuckDB with #rstats r.iresmi.net/posts/2023/fas…

@Cghlewis Type 2 fun :)

Maybe today wasn’t the best day to float down the river on a raft for 5 hours. But we still had fun.
