I use Python and R for data science and machine learning. My day job is product manager at Posit.

.@dominicraab I've responded to @DefraGovUK sandeel consultation to support a ban on industrial trawling for this important fish in English waters. Please lend your support and help save our globally threatened seabirds who rely on sandeels to survive. #SaveOurSeabirds

RStudio is now Posit 🎉

Find the new handle @posit_pbc and the brand new site at https://t.co/heCvKJbbFb !!

I'm really excited that we can double down on our commitment to open source - it's going to be a fun ride!

I should have mentioned that @JennyBryan asked the question that inspired this work.

[Andrie de Vries @RevoAndrie]

The #rstats manuals are great - these just need a #quarto_pub makeover, so @chrisderv and I gave it one.

Browse the manuals with code formatting, better layout of tables of content, ...

The conversion runs once a week. Please report issues at https://t.co/rgtWw0PHBw

[Andrie de Vries @RevoAndrie]

If you want automatic agenda slides (based on H1 headers) in @quarto_pub presentations with @revealjs, then this Quarto extension might help.

There are very few places left where you can simultaneously write open source software, create things lots of people actually use, contribute to a mission that isn't "getting people to click ads", and do it all remotely.

@rstudio is one of them. Join us!

[Posit PBC @posit_pbc]

We’re looking for future RStudio Academy Mentors to join the team!

🙌🏼 Help small groups of working professionals become productive data scientists over three months.

🧐Check out the thread to learn more about what we are looking for in a mentor.

Investing in Python tooling will also make it easier for them to adopt some of your favourite R frameworks.

[Aaron Jacobs @unconj1]

I'll admit I was skeptical of #rstudio's investments in Python at first, but speaking to dozens of folks at #rstudioconf2022 has convinced me that one of the best things we can do for #rstats users is to make it easier for them to work with their Pythonista colleagues.

[Posit PBC @posit_pbc]

We are excited to announce that RStudio, PBC will become Posit, PBC in October!

@talgalili , perhaps this is a bug in R-bloggers?

[Mara Averick @dataandme]

Am I losing it, or does R-bloggers (@Rbloggers) no longer link to the original article url? e.g. I can see this post is by @StephaneLAURENT, but cannot navigate to their page for the original post… https://t.co/ogaO2OWQ0o #rstats

This is a fascinating article, both how the penguins stay warm, and how complex behaviour emerges from simple local optimization.

[Quanta Magazine @QuantaMagazine]

Temperatures inside a huddle of emperor penguins can reach a balmy 100°F. As wind flow and temperature around the huddle shift, the penguins adjust to maximize ambient heat and protect their eggs. https://t.co/ydxCJQZoMY

There's a new version of the {{modeldata}} package on CRAN.

https://t.co/p3DZGk3Xjn

There is a great data set (tate_text).

We're also going to remove the two OkCupid data sets in the next version.

@caisersoze84 @TenanATC @rstudio Yeah that’s RSPM: https://t.co/yO7opKprEs

Congratulations, Greg, and I hope this adventure is everything you hope for :-)

[Andrie de Vries @RevoAndrie]

@kaseyzap I've been using `mailmerge` to send joining instructions for students on my RStudio system administration course. Each student gets personalised instructions and progress reports.

[Andrie de Vries @RevoAndrie]

I've been working on an #rstats package that enables mail merging from R Markdown documents, data frames and gmail. I made my first submission to CRAN today, so now would be a good time to take mailmerge for a test drive. https://t.co/WiSXZAObmg
