  1. Want to check if code using #GenAI generates the responses you want? Here's how to automate LLM evals with the {vitals} #RStats 📦 by @simonpcouch at @Posit
    My latest at #InfoWorld:

  2. Omni has been named a finalist for the 2025 InfoWorld Technology of the Year Awards in the Application Management category. 🏆

    This highlights what we’ve believed all along: better Kubernetes management matters. A huge thank-you to our team, customers, and partners for helping us get here!

  3. Ask your data natural-language questions in R or Python with the querychat package! Bonus: You never send that data to an LLM.

    My step-by-step InfoWorld tutorial using NFL game data (first day of the season tonight!) as an example:

  4. RAG has come to the tidyverse! Check out my step-by-step #InfoWorld tutorial on how to use the {ragnar} and {ellmer) #RStats 📦 to answer natural language questions about a document or Web page.

    Huge thanks to pkg creator @kalinowski4ben1 at @Posit for answering questions about this month's new version of {ragnar}, which has a lot of changes.

  5. Scheduled for tomorrow: "RAG comes to the tidyverse!" My step-by-step tutorial on using the {ragnar} #RStats 📦 to do retrieval augmented generation in R is supposed to be published July 17 at #InfoWorld.

  6. 🚨 Oh no, #GitHub had a little oopsie! #CICD #secrets just spilled all over the floor like a toddler with a milkshake. 🤦‍♂️ But don't worry, InfoWorld's got you covered with 10,000 words of filler and ads, just in case you didn't want to find the actual #news. 📈📰

  8. Learn how to make everything from basic line graphs to racing bar charts — all interactive and easily animated — with the {echarts4r} #RStats 📦- one of my faves!

    infoworld.com/article/2262502/

    (I just checked the code, and it still works! Even tho from 2021. Just a couple of code format issues from a recent #InfoWorld site redesign)

  9. You can run large language models locally in the Opera browser developer version. I just added that option to “5 easy ways to run an LLM locally” (now more than 5 as I keep updating the #InfoWorld article, but SEO best practices blah blah)

  10. There are some cool VS Code extensions in here I want to try! Ex: SQL Tools, for adding a database workbench to Code; and Data Preview, offering “handlers, visualization tools, and management functions for a wide variety of common formats—not only JSON or CSV, but also Excel, Apache Parquet, Arrow, Avro, YAML” & more. By my colleague Serdar Yegulalp at #InfoWorld

  11. If you're inspired to try running an LLM locally - either because you're just back from the #NICAR24 data journalism conference or any other reason - I did a roundup of useful tools:

  12. uv is “an extremely fast Python package installer and resolver, written in Rust. Designed as a drop-in replacement for pip and pip-compile. uv is backed by Astral, the creators of Ruff.” - 📦 website
    github.com/astral-sh/uv

    “The company’s benchmarks show uv to be 8x to 10x faster than pip and pip-tools without caching, and 80x to 115x faster when running with a warm cache.” - InfoWorld

  13. Is API design a lost art?

    infoworld.com/article/3712425/

    "We’re getting too much latency from poorly designed, developed, and deployed cloud-based APIs and services. It’s time to brush up on testing and monitoring." -- # DavidLinthicum #infoWorld

    #api360 #design #cloud

  14. R Markdown, knitr creator @yihui laid off from full-time job at Posit; will be working as a paid contractor there. My story for InfoWorld:

  15. How to use the Python pandas library for basic data analysis - nice explainer for those early in their #python journey by my colleague Serdar Yegulalp

  16. What is REST? The de facto web architecture standard

    infoworld.com/article/3706031/

    "REST is one of the most influential ideas in distributed architecture. Here's why it matters and how to understand RESTful services in theory and practice." -- #MatthewTyson #InfoWorld

    #api360 #apiDesign #REST

  17. Intro to HTMX: Dynamic HTML without JavaScript

    infoworld.com/article/3706951/

    "HTMX is the HTML extension syntax that replaces JavaScript with simple markup. It could change the course of web development." -- #MatthewTyson #InfoWorld

    #api360 #apiDesign #htmx

  18. The risks of low-code and no-code development in cloud architecture

    infoworld.com/article/3706892/

    "These prebuilt components simplify development and offer flexibility and speed, but watch out for scalability, security, and integration problems." -- #DavidLinthicum #InfoWorld

    #api360 #LoNoCode

  19. @_wurli Also inspired by 'grammar-of-data' dplyr syntax, there's the Arquero #JavaScript library. Arquero lets you write code like

    wrangled_data = my_data
    .select('ColName')
    .dedupe()
    .orderby('ColName)

    I wrote about it for #InfoWorld infoworld.com/article/3678168/

  20. The shortcomings of serverless computing

    infoworld.com/article/3705610/

    "Serverless computing is a popular approach for cloud-based applications, but it's not the best fit in every case. Too often serverless fails to deliver business value." -- #DavidLinthicum #InfoWorld

    #api360 #cloudComputing

  21. What exactly is LangChain anyway? @meheller explains this modular framework for Python & JavaScript which aims to streamline developing generative AI applications
