#rstats massive long string, I wan to search for positions of a pattern and print out leading and trailing chars of some given length - anything existing?
I roughed this up rather than think about lists and gregexpr

We are grateful to have Simon Urbanek as a keynote speaker for useR! 2025. He is a member of the R core team, working on the maintenance of R for MacOS, creating binaries. Currently he is an Associate Professor at the The University of Auckland Department of Statistics. He is quite well traveled, having worked at ATT&T Research Labs in New York and New Jersey before moving to Auckland.

I am excited to share a new version of svglite for #RStats with the world. It includes support for all the new features in the graphics engine as well as providing a more powerful and polished experience for embedding web fonts in the file.

Together with colleagues from Palacký University Olomouc, we gathered scattered records of the insect order Zoraptera — one of the least studied insect groups — and compiled it into a global open occurrence dataset using #QGIS, #OpenStreetMap and #rstats.
The dataset now includes 656 records with coordinates and/or area footprint with uncertainty, spanning 1895 to 2024.

Hey #statistics people, I redid this type I & II error pregnancy example thing for teaching purposes. Looking for some feedback. #rstats
I just killed our last #JupyterHub #GKE Project in my $DAYJOB. Our #Jupyter compute environments are now all fully on prem.
Rage coding this morning using #TidyTuesday NSF grant terminations data.
Research in STEM Education and Social, Behavioral, & Economic Science is clearly being targeted by the current administration.
I made a lot of depressing #rstats plots, check them out
Today's scientific computing: splitting a 248GB text file into individual files named by the string in the 202nd column.
```awk
awk -F"\t" '1 { NAME = $202; sub(" ", "_", NAME); print $0 >>"./records/" NAME ".csv"}'
```
This is for a big @gbif download. I could have dealt with it by looping over individual taxa and treating each as a separate download from #rstats. That's probably a better idea.
But it was (initially) easier to download all 1600 taxa as a single request. Except that the result was big enough that R couldn't read it all in at once. So now I need to split it by species to make files that I *can* process in R.
Third in this series: uv, part 3: Python in R with reticulate 
Two demos using Python in #Rstats via reticulate+uv: (1) Hugging Face transformers for sentiment analysis, (2) pyBigWig to query a BigWig file and visualize with ggplot2. doi.org/10.59350/3k5...

For #TidyTuesday this week, we're looking at data on terminations of NSF grants 
Using colour to highlight one category
Transparency to highlight the important data
Annotations instead of a legend for transparency

And definitely not wanting to shit on people first learning #rstats - the problem is someone taught them to do this for some reason.
I can imagine how weird it would be if you were really new to R and you came along with none of these packages installed and ran the script that does very little but had to wait for all these to install... on the linux server, argh...
Doing my best to be normal and positive at my new job, but when I open someone's #rstats script that pretty much uses like two packages and it starts with a pacman p_load explosion like this I find it hard to contain myself, particularly with the first comment... and then most of the tidyverse loaded separately and the tidyverse itself loaded at the end. Gold stars all around.

Today's Theme: Writing functions in R with cohost @njtierney
Tuesday May 6th 09:00 Australian Western (01:00 UTC)
#RStats hivemind: I remember years ago @hadleywickham(?) revealing the most common column in data.frames was "year".
Does anyone know of a deeper analysis? A ranked list of words in R, data and packages? Any kind of Word list aggregation in the R universe?
Finally doing my homework with minIO, obv you have an #RStats package for the client side

@yjunechoe, nice find.
Some time ago I gave a recommendation here in the #fediverse to take some time to look at the function of base, tools, stats and all the other packages which come with any R installation.
Many users who start with #Rstats would be surprised what can be found there. Often, functions are promoted as unique to auxiliary packages with a lot of dependencies. But as a matter of fact, 
has batteries included for plots and for analysis

Thanks @dslc.io for using #TidyTuesday to highlight the unprecedented and likely illegal termination of >1000 #NSF grants in April. The #rstats, #python, and #dataBS community can help us understand and visualize the story of what's happening.
