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: https://t.co/rSzPTt6VBk, #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: https://t.co/8s8gECCSmz

Please share 🙂 #gischat #reactjs #typescript

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

[Zev Ross @zevross]

@kyle_e_walker Well done Kyle!

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

[Zev Ross @zevross]

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:

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")

[Zev Ross @zevross]

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

[Zev Ross @zevross]

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

[Zev Ross @zevross]

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

[Zev Ross @zevross]

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)

[Zev Ross @zevross]

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

[Zev Ross @zevross]

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

[The {gt}/great_tables Packages @gt_package]

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: https://t.co/MBHvjqVn2a.

[Jakub Nowosad @jakub_nowosad]

⚠️ 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?

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.

Super-succinct post on how easy it is to query a remote file (without downloading the whole thing!) using parquet and DuckDB with #rstats

@Cghlewis Type 2 fun :)
