Is someone else having issues with #Positron using remote SSH? My #RStats sessions take FOR EVER to startup and the console has enormous latency and sometimes it just completely locks up and I need to close the whole session, sometimes even restart Positron completely.

A scatter plot comparing seven major tech companies by hiring rate (y-axis) and layoff rate (x-axis), both expressed as a percentage of the current workforce. A dashed diagonal line marks the net growth threshold where hiring equals layoffs. Companies above the line — NVIDIA, Apple, and Google are net expanders, shown in teal. Companies below — Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Tesla — are net contractors, shown in burgundy. NVIDIA stands apart in the upper left with the highest hiring rate and zero layoffs. Microsoft anchors the lower right with the highest layoff rate despite active recruiting.

Alt text: A rectangular promotional poster for the “useR! 2026 Conference.” At the top, large black text on a white background reads “EARLY BIRD TICKETS!” Beneath it, the main title “useR! 2026 CONFERENCE” appears in bold black lettering. To the right of the title is a large red square containing a white “R,” styled like the R programming language logo. Below the title, a black silhouette of a city skyline stretches across the width of the poster, featuring modern buildings and a distinctive bridge, representing Warsaw. Four stylized red birds are scattered across the upper half of the poster—three above the skyline and one near the top left corner. At the bottom, centered black text reads “WARSAW, JULY 2026.” The overall color palette is black, white, and red, with a clean, modern graphic style.

"World map" showing grid squares in non-sensical places, with labels that have become disconnected.

This was supposed to be a world map grid...

My facet plots seem to have become completely detached from my (correctly located) facet labels 🫠 Either that or I've accidentally discovered hundreds of new countries.

Beeswarm plot showing Plasmodium falciparum incidence rates per 1,000 people across countries in 2024 on a dark background. Each dot represents a country colored on a gradient from blue (low incidence) to red (high incidence). A large cluster of blue dots sits near zero, representing the majority of countries with negligible Plasmodium falciparum transmission. The median line is at 52.38 cases per 1,000. Benin is highlighted as the highest-burden outlier at 364.52 cases per 1,000.

Things are moving so fast that I feel like I'm being torn apart trying to keep up. That means I have to pick/choose what to keep up on vs what not to, & it's tough. I'm too tired to understand it all or do it all. I'd rather invest in people than in my own grasp of new tech. #databs #rstats #python

what is asynchronous programming? Join us with Charlie Gao, author of {mirai}. Tues, April 14 at 12pm et. pos.it/dslab

We're thrilled to be joined by @shikokuchuo.net tomorrow on the DS Lab to learn about asynchronous programming (and parallel programming, which it turns out is different!).

Charlie is the author of mirai, which enables them in #RStats tools like Shiny and purrr ✨

See you there! pos.it/dslab
