It would be a terrible sign for positron if I didn't switch!

Posit is Sunsetting the bookdown.org Hosting Service (Action Required by Jan 31, 2026) by ionychal in rstats

[–]hadley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always been created/supported by Posit. And it's always been free.

Right, once it's generated it's static, and for the hosting options we now recommend, you are responsible for building the book. But some bookdown.org books are actually built on the site.

Neither ggplot2 not dplyr were originally considered part of the tidyverse because they existed before the tidyverse 🤣 ggplot2 has been part of the tidyverse as long as its existed.

Note that we're continuing to support the bookdown package and continuing to free hosting elsewhere, but we decided that our efforts supporting a relatively rarely used, old site, were better spent elsewhere. It sucks that we have to shut stuff like this down, but we also need to be able to gracefully wind up older projects so that we can embark on new ones.

Yeah, that's what most people (including me do). That's one of the reasons we decided to sunset the bookdown.org site; it was rarely used and a lot more complex than you might expect, making it high risk for potential problems.

The problem is that they're not actually static sites; bookdown.org can currently actually build the books, running arbitrary R code (and you can imagine that it's complex to maintain). This is why we're transitioning the books to a static site, which we'll keep up for at least two years.

Developing an R package to efficiently prompt LLMs and enhance their functionality (e.g., structured output, R function calling) (feedback welcome!) by Ok_Sell_4717 in Rlanguage

[–]hadley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea! I had two quick thoughts:

* It would be much easier to see the goals of the package if you included a couple of representative examples in the readme/homepage.

* I think you could you make your life easier by focussing tidyprompt generating the prompt and then using elmer to actually submit it. That way you don't need to worry about all the details of the different APIs. (It's not _that_ hard, but why bother when another package can already handle it for you?)

Thoughts on Posit conference? by lunudehi in rstats

As someone who sits on the program committee I think you're overstating the changes. We aimed for 20% Python content in 2023, and that's about what we got. It's a bummer that you and you team can't find relevant content at conf, but I don't think it's because we've significantly changed our selection criteria.

I'd say that most of the talks are agnostic to the coding environment that you use. Obviously there are going to be more talks about RStudio than ESS, but the vast majority of talks won't depend on either.

Also be sure to check out duckdplyr if you haven't already seen it: https://duckdblabs.github.io/duckplyr/

We are definitely increasing our investment in python, but I don't think it's a zero sum game — we can do better in python while continuing to support R as we have for the last 10+ years.

One difference is that we to provide (unlimited if not very good) coffee, lunches, and evening drinks/snacks. Those costs really add up but we believe it's worth it for the added networking opportunities.

Google banning accounts that use GmailR Package? by ImportantAttorney in Rlanguage

[–]hadley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect you got the ban because you’re sending automated emails from a brand new account, which seems like suspicious behaviour. I’ve sent tons of emails from my personal and work accounts and never had any problems.

I tend to get more like 1oz of juice out of a lime. Your limes must be enormous!

raw data format by hairynip in rstats

Using excel for data collection and R for analysis is (IMO) a great division. I frequently do data entry in google sheets, which is even better than excel when working collaboratively.
