Bleeding edge update for the #tidyverse purrr package. We've been working to make #rstats parallel maps even more seamless.
Introducing our shiniest new adverb: `in_parallel()`. Just wrap your function with it to take advantage of blazing fast parallel processing via mirai.
Utilise multiple cores on your own machine or distribute workloads across the network.
Please help us by testing it out! Install the pkg dev version via:
pak::pak("tidyverse/purrr")
As we near @cascadiarconf, the Rust :ferris: for :rstats: Developers materials are coming along!

The EU wants to stop feeding your DNS queries to Silicon Valley.
DNS4EU is the European Commission’s attempt to build a sovereign DNS resolver infrastructure that doesn’t route all your web lookups through the likes of Google, or Cloudflare.
DNS4EU aims to bring DNS resolution under EU oversight and privacy rules.
So, if you want 🇪🇺-backed ad-blocking and child protection, you may want to give it a try.

In this episode we learn about Andy Gordon’s work including the origins of (>>=), introducing lambdas in Excel, and delve into his current work at Cogna using AI to allow non-programmers to write apps using natural language.

I have stage 4 cancer
Joe Rogan recently mocked my physical appearance to millions, calling me a “weird kind of bitchy weak man”

If you're a European citizen consider signing this initiative to require publishers that sell or license videogames to leave these games in a functional (playable) state after the end of support. The idea is to prevent remote disabling of abandonware.
For centuries, we had public infrastructure for texts (called "libraries").
Recently, this has been extended to data (called "repositories").
We need to extend that to some software, developed and maintained as a free public good.
Why? Because we need it for a functioning society.
Smart societies would sustainably fund some open source software as critical infrastructure.
For example, research grants could set aside 2 % of their budget to support the open-source software they rely on.

Well, now also in English:
As far as I know, @heiseonline is now the (EDIT:) third media organization with it's own instance on #Peertube to share #videos directly in the #Fediverse.
The first channel to look out for is @ct_3003, but there are more to come.
I hope, we're only the beginning, so let's spread the word!
More people are contributing to the Poseidon Community Archive nowadays - some as reviewers for package submissions. To formalize this process a bit more and to simplify onboarding we have extended the documentation with a chapter on what to look for when reviewing a PR.
So... I've noticed some of you are creating (and uploading!) a LOT of annotations in https://liiive.now—enough to make the UI a little choppy.
Well, challenge accepted: I just shipped an update that will keep things smooth, so you can keep the annotations coming! Bonus additions:
• New shape style with better contrast on light/dark images
• Polygon editing now lets you add & remove corners easily
Happy annotating!

A quick hack to show how to insert a #IIIf-Viewer in a #quarto html-doc:

<div id="openseadragon-viewer" style="width: 100%; height: 500px;"></div>

var viewer = OpenSeadragon({

Stoked to finally release into the wild my secret(?) dissertation-procrastination #rstats project: ggplot2 layer explorer!
https://github.com/yjunechoe/ggplot2-layer-explorer
The app encourages open-ended exploration, so feel free to jump right in and click around. Or, you can watch the demo gif in the repo first to get some inspiration for what's possible and interesting.
Being a shinylive app, startup takes a few seconds, but you can clone and run it locally as well.
Please give it a try and lmk your thoughts! :)
