#rstats — Public Fediverse posts

Some significant memory and hence performance improvements in #futureverse are being rolled out. Some future.apply-based pkgs will run faster. Stay tuned.

Technically a bug fix. Troubleshooting a real case revealed hard-to-spot thinko => unnecessary data being exported to #parallel workers

Third blog post about rig 0.11.0, the new version of the R installation manager, about managing R projects, virtual environments and standalone R scripts: https://opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-10-15_rig-0-11-0-part-three/

New version of #rstats curl bindings on CRAN. On Windows/Mac, the statically linked libcurl includes the latest CVE patches. So if you are worried about these things, better update. On other operating systems, libcurl is part of your distro and has to be patched by them. https://cran.dev/curl

I ran into a #guix issue with an #Rstats package (it try to import a C lib dependency of the package has a CRAN package is my guess). Where should I report it?

You don't have to be a C programmer to contribute to R.

R Core members Simon Urbanek, Kurt Hornik, and Heather Turner explain how to report bugs, propose features, improve docs and translations, join an R Dev Day, or submit a patch.

My quest for a simple build system fully in #Python continues… My gut feeling tells me something not as complex as Airflow & co should exist. If I was using #Rstats I would use the Targets package.
