@giocomai My apologies! There are some issues right now exporting package binaries for shinylive for R apps as I work on updating the packaging format. I’ll try to get things back up and running as fast as I can.

cpp11 0.5.0 is on CRAN 🥳

The main thing to note is that we've removed all non-API R calls, so if you use cpp11 you should no longer get any NOTEs when submitting to CRAN!

This was actually a pretty large release for cpp11, with many bug fixes and improvements, so check out the NEWS to learn more! #rstats

Today is the anniversary of the release of the Shugart Minifloppy SA400, the first 5.25" floppy disk drive. August 27, 1976.

Happy 29th birthday to Windows 95
Windows 95 screenshot. System Properties have a key 23695-OEM-0950824-00029 since 24th August 1995 was 29 years ago and it was 236th day of 1995. One of the videos from 95 CD is shown with the slogan "Where do you want to go today?". In Notepad, I reply to that: "to a place without Electron".

@nxskok @lwpembleton I believe there were still some modules teaching with Minitab when I left, but I never had the pleasure myself. I actually like Fortran a lot, it’s ace for high performance parallel codes using MPI on HPC. My PhD was based around writing a numerical solver in Fortran for a certain class of PDEs used for physical simulations of superfluid turbulence.

@lwpembleton In 2008 I started a Mathematics and Statistics degree at Newcastle University. Several modules had computational aspects, where we were introduced to a whole bunch of languages: R, Python, Matlab, Maple, even Fortran! R was the language that clicked for me the most, I loved how quick and simple it is relative to the others to get up and running with numerical simulation and visualisation. Later RStudio came along and made it even easier once it was my turn to teach R.

i took a quick break at #PositConf2024 and accidentally wrote a quarto revealjs plugin. A little late but super useful!

Fast and simple way to highlight a specific area of the slide using a spotlight

So cool! A one-pixel-wide font that exploits subpixels.

(Source: reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck)

Three views of a font displaying numbers. In the first, you see stacked coloured pixels, and in the last you see how the colours chosen turn on certain RGB subpixels to turn these into numbers.

@jonthegeek I’d have loved to plug quarto-drop but was already little tight for time. I find the hardest part of giving a talk is always cutting it down!

You can now easily add interactive, editable R and Python code blocks to Quarto documents. These code blocks re-generate results if someone changes the code. thanks to the quarto-live extension released last week. Designed for education, but a lot of other potential uses.

@rstats @python

WebAssembly powered code blocks and exercises for Quarto HTML documents

Embed WebAssembly powered code blocks and exercises for both the R and Python languages into Quarto documents with HTML-based output formats.

Quarto Live
The quarto-live extension provides:

Interactive R and Python code blocks.

Exercises with optional hints, solutions, and custom grading algorithms.

Rich output for showing client-side interactive plots, images, and HTML widgets.

A CodeMirror-based text editor with automatic theming, syntax highlighting, and auto-complete.

Integration with OJS so that interactive code cells update reactively with ojs cells.

The webR and Pyodide WebAssembly engines are used to dynamically execute code in the user’s web browser, so only a static web service (such as GitHub Pages, Quarto Pub, or Netlify) is required.

More gifts from #PositConf2024:

Quarto Live!!!!

Holy guacamole this is an absolute magical gamechanger for educators. 🥳

Literally if you teach #datascience with #rstats you MUST check this out.

@gws you are a genius (and also one of the most genuinely nice people ever). 🥰

The #QuartoLive extension lets you plug interactive (editable) #RStats code directly into your Quarto documents. And you can easily build exercises into your docs, too! #PositConf2024 #RStats #PyData 🧵 12/17

Code tagged with `#| exercise:` can be easily rendered as interactive exercises in quarto.

I’m in seattle for #PositConf2024 ! Out exploring today and then super excited to get up on stage on Tuesday morning and talk about some of the things I’ve been working on recently 😄 Say “Hi” if you see me, I’d be happy to stop and chat for a while about webR and WebAssembly if you like!
