[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

It is a crucial moment to close the long-standing discussion once and for all and decide on Ukraine's membership in the #EU. Discussed with @eucopresident further effective assistance and the heroic struggle of Ukrainians for their free future.

To some European leaders who are still hesitant: each year at commemorative events you say ‘Never again’. The time to prove it is now. Russia is waging a horrific war of aggression in Europe. Here is your ‘never again’ test: BAN RUSSIA FROM SWIFT and kick it out of everywhere.

My lab is looking for one motivated PhD student in Fall 2022. We are working on genetic and epigenetic regulation of transposons and meiotic recombination. Anyone interested in genetics, genomics and bioinformatics is welcome to apply! Contact me at [email protected].

It’s been around for a while but the {gtrendsR} package is great for easily accessing Google trends. #rstats

[Emil Hvitfeldt @Emil_Hvitfeldt]

If you are starting a new semester with "An Introduction to Statistical Learning" and want to pick up #tidymodels at the same time, then you are in luck✨

I have compiled (mostly complete) labs using tidymodels for all of you to use and teach with

At the @UseR2019_Conf there was a call for companies to join the @RConsortium; besides that, companies ánd individuals can also directly support the @_R_Foundation; more details here https://t.co/9hK6HohNc7 #useR2019 #rstats RT == nice

@MattDabrowski This is what I use:
header_cat <- function(text = "", level = 3) {
cat(
paste0("\n\n",
paste(rep("#", level), collapse = ""),
" ", text, "\n"
)
)
}

You should also set `results = "asis"
`

@pabloc_ds Sometimes you might need to use <<- and there's no equivalent for =

@CFlensburg Can it be caused by the method how uniform distributions are generated in 3.6? I guess you can force old sampling by RNGkind() or RNGversion()

@Emil_Hvitfeldt @ma_salmon @LucyStats @rOpenSci There should be a tidyverse version of assign: tidy_assign(object, name, envir). So that pipe would look cleaner: foo %>% filter() %>% tidy_assign("light_foo", eee)

If you happen to use #rstats at the terminal, you'll find the rdoc package a big life improvement: https://t.co/9CtcRlHWvN

[Beni Stocker @SteniBocker]

I shouldn't have done this, but couldn't resist. Onward with the ultimate procrastination: Making awesome #rstats scatterplots with the heatscatter function from the #LSD package. Now finally with #ggplot https://t.co/gIO4udGPk3 🤦‍♂️🤓

@bradleyboehmke @bgreenwell8 Looks very interesting, good luck! 🐨 > 🐼

@KirkDBorne TIOBE index evaluates search queries like "<language> programming" which should be equivalent only to number of people who want to learn programming. In #rstats lots of people start from #tidyverse and #rstudio. Also, check SO survey results.

@tyluRp Thanks! What about defining functions? Is this a recommend style?
