dev rel circa September 2000 there's an entire generation of devs who have never seen Steve Ballmer sweating through his dress shirt during a Microsoft keynote screaming "developers". let's fix that. also if you've seen it here's the full video with context.

📣 We're hiring two tenure-track Assistant Professors! Some things I love about @WakeForest's Department of Statistical Sciences: ⚖️ teacher-scholar model, rewarding balance of research & teaching 🥂 🆕department with opportunities to lead & shape the direction 🤗 the people!

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…

The Cleveland R User Group is excited to announce our next meetup on Sep 27th, hosted by @progressive Keith Woolner (@kwvorp), Principal Data Scientist for the @CleGuardians, will present how their R&D department uses #rstats for sabermetrics meetup.com/cleveland-user…

Started my career working in David’s lab, would definitely recommend it to those in the genomics space!

I am looking for postbac or postdoctoral researchers! Anyone interested in applying whole genome sequencing, dual RNA-seq, scRNA-seq and/or spatial transcriptomics to study host/pathogen interactions during malaria infections?

It is surprising there doesn’t seem to be a dplyr polars backend. The rust API seems very much aligned with dplyr’s, but github.com/pola-rs/r-pola… instead is using an R6 style syntax

.@quarto_pub having a good story for publishing to google docs / google slides would be a killer feature for us. Output to docx and then import into google docs works, but it is clunky, still somewhat manual, and there isn't a clear way to update an existing document.

lintr 3.1.0 is now on CRAN! There are tons of changes, too many to list here, but please read the release notes (github.com/r-lib/lintr/re…) for details. Huge thanks to @michael_chirico, @patilindrajeets, and all of the many other contributors for all of their hard work🙏

🫤 Unfortunately, I was affected by last week's layoffs at @posit_pbc along with a handful of other talented colleagues. 🖤 I’m bummed, but so grateful for the 5½+ yrs w/ my incredible team. 🔍 Taking some time to recoup, but will be on the hunt for new opportunities soon!

I’m looking for a senior data science position! 👩‍🔬 I’ve built and run A/B testing platforms 💻 I am experienced in modeling in R & Python 📚 I have coauthored a book on DS careers (datascicareer.com) Remote or Hybrid (SLC based). Please reach out if you want to chat!

Amazing replies to this tweet on adding curvy arrows to your #Rstats plots! Here are four resources folks shared: ➡️ @MattCowgill: github.com/MattCowgill/gg… ➡️ @rappa753: ➡️ @CedScherer: cedricscherer.com/2019/05/17/the… ➡️ @cararthompson: cararthompson.com/talks/user2022/

The MRAN site will be retired on July 1. This will affect R users who use the daily CRAN snapshot archive hosted there (e.g. via the checkpoint package). More info: blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2023/01/mran-t… #rstats

Have the courage to double down on your convictions.
