How to apply the #tidyverse style guide to your #rstats code explained in a tidyverse blog post: https://t.co/y0j9SrserU

#rstats {precommit} v0.4.0 on CRAN, with focus on improving hook installation experience. #git #pre-commit

Are you using #SageMaker and are unhappy with the way AWS handles GitHub issues? I filed an issue in their Python SDK, I think it get's more weight when people upvote or add their comment. #opensource #cloud #ML

Uwe Ligges is the most friendly member of the CRAN team I ever interacted. He sets a great example and I think he deserves a medal #rstats

{styler} 1.10.0 is out, with some more speed boosts thanks to {vctrs}. Now nearly 2x as fast as 6 months ago. #rstats #tidyverse https://t.co/YOWjRnn82W

run #mypy through #poetry with pre-commit. No more `additional_dependencies` to manage manually #python https://t.co/ejTs3pQ76q

As if programmers make stuff brittle by choice. After the huge layoff and prioritizing features, quick fixes will take precedence over refactoring, code quality will decrease and in the worst case, the whole “code castle” will decay into chaos and become completely unstable

I don't get it: Why did the @usairforce shoot the Chinese balloon and is now collecting the debris instead of taking it down without destroying it? Wouldn't that make it much easier to support their claims that it was a spy balloon?

Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

'If we are not prepared to reverse the current (climate change) trend which is leading towards catastrophe, we will be doomed' Secretary General of the UN António Guterres, 26th October 2022

The energy revolution is unfolding live, much faster than most people realize. A thread based on the insurgent view of the energy transition of @RockyMtnInst and @KingsmillBond In short: The fight against climate change is accelerating - look at the data and do the math 🧵

If your company chooses to not support open-source, at least do your part when filing bug reports and feature requests with tools you use and be kind to the maintainers and remember they owe you nothing, but you use their work. At no charge. 7/

T he financial value this would create for society can’t be overestimated. It’s very easy to get started as donors with platforms like GitHub sponsors, open collective, tide lift. 6/

If every company that uses open-source donated 100$ a year to the projects they depend on - which is really not much - we’d see thousands of highly skilled programmers leaving their job to go from part-time to full-time open-source contributors. 5/

To me, it's just a question of fairness towards the people who provide the software on which you build your company. A lot of critical software is maintained by a few people who literally spend thousands of hours of their free time to keep these projects going. 4/

If you are using open-source software at work (you may not know you do!) and it helps you get your job done faster, I encourage you to talk to your manager and ask them to support these open-source projects financially. 3/

... although it’s the backbone of our digital life and powers almost any product we use. 2/

It feels great to have my work recognised by #Google, but here’s what you should know: The contributions of open-source software to the welfare of our society is greatly underestimated by the public, most don’t even know what it is... https://t.co/lRjqdO9AOT 1/

Big shoutout to @patilindrajeets for conceiving and implementing (with @krlmlr) a whopping 35% speedup in #styler dev🚀. #rstats #touchstone https://t.co/9eXkr2pg24

“Africa is losing 5% to 15% of its per capita economic growth due the effects of climate change and is facing a gaping climate finance shortfall, according to the African Development Bank.”
