Hi #rstats fam, the expression, which is created on the fly, when parsed creates the error which I think is from the neg values, that is why the values are enclosed. The variables are the data from which the expression is evaluated. After enclosing the values, the error persists. Any ideas?

An actually interesting take on NA handling in #rstats! That we can treat it like a monad and use function wrappers to handle it instead of arguments like na.rm. I really like this!!

New R package: rgeomorphon by Andrew Brown

Classifies terrain forms using a parallel C++ implementation of the geomorphon algorithm.

With the new Orbital package, you can streamline #ML deployment, eliminate data movement, and boost performance.

Train in #Python or #RStats, infer in-database.

Read all about it: https://posit.co/blog/snowflake-orbital-scikit-learn-models/

Join our webinar today at 11 am ET to see it in action: https://posit.co/workflow-demo/seamless-r-python-model-deployment-with-snowflake-and-orbital/

You know what would be really useful? Colour coding different #RStudio sessions.

When you're doing related stuff in two different sessions, the chance of editing the wrong one is pretty high. #RStats

Hey #Gischat I am looking at way to represent continental US with AK, HI and PR.

It seems that the consensus is to use 'ESRI:102003' (an Albers equal-area conic projection), reproject AK, HI and PR (each one with their specific crs) and move + "rescale" them. AK will be smaller then.

Good example in code is here: https://github.com/walkerke/tigris/blob/master/R/shift_geometry.R (for #Rstats needs)

Are they any other option?

Hello #RStats ! I'm facilitating a new free @DSLC Advanced R adv-r.hadley.nz cohort soon! It's been 5+ years since I read this excellent book by @hadleywickham , so I'm giving it a re-read. Let's learn to embrace {{ tidy evaluation }}, purrr::reduce() repetition, and count S/R #OOP systems!

Join the https://DSLC.io Slack, then navigate to the #bookclub-advr channel!

BTW, I plan to cover {{ and #S7 in the club, even though they didn't make it into the book!

Dear #RStats #FontNerds,

Introducing {flexfont} - an implementation of the javascript "flexflex" font by @ronikaufman

https://github.com/coolbutuseless/flexfont

This pkg includes a minimal SVG path renderer with arc support.

Just released #rnaturalearth v1.1.0 for #rstats.

https://github.com/ropensci/rnaturalearth/releases/tag/v1.1.0

- Download data directly using GDAL’s virtual file system – no extraction needed!

- Move to modern GeoPackage format when load = FALSE – more efficient than shapefiles.

- Raster data (GeoTIFF) now saved directly from zip, making workflows smoother.

- Faster loading with lazy imports (#119, thanks @heavywatal)

- Better messages via the cli package

Web content accessibility is an important topic to consider when building web based applications. {shiny} is an excellent tool that allows data practitioners a relatively simple, quick approach to providing an intuitive user interface to their R code via a web application. Here we explore accessibility in the context of a {shiny} application.
