#rstats Please welcome Jarl, a new R linter.
Jarl is a CLI tool with extensions in VS Code, Positron, and Zed. It can check thousands of lines of R code in milliseconds.
Jarl provides several output formats, a Github Actions workflow, and more.

We are looking for #rstats community feedback on 3 new dplyr functions!
We're aiming to expand the `filter()` family:
- `filter()` to keep rows
- `filter_out()` to drop rows
- `when_any()` and `when_all()` as modifiers

TOMORROW, I'm hosting what I'm calling Data Science Lab. This debut session will be our fave Positron settings for #rstats & #python 😍
I called it DS Lounge at first, but that doesn't feel right. You'll see "Lounge" when you register at pos.it/dslab, but future sessions will be "Lab" 🧪😎 #databs

We are extremely excited about this!
@lionelhenry.bsky.social did an awesome job shepherding this feature, and we think that both decimal alignment and using commas as "column guides" for your `tribble()` calls makes QC-ing your code easier and less error prone!

I'm excited to share a new version of the Air formatter for #rstats, with support for tabular formatting! Super useful with `tibble::tribble()` calls or `data.table::fcase()`.
It's currently experimental as we're looking to get feedback on the feature, so please let us know what you think.

Quarto friends! I need your help:
We are implementing a new QMD parser in Quarto. It will be super nice. But it's a big change, and we want to minimize the impact.
1. Can you share a link to your Quarto project at github.com/quarto-dev/q...
2. repost this and let your Quarto friends know too?

We optimize for “wtf?!” moments 🙂
Just added Air to the Arrow CI jobs 🪂
It's an R formatter written in Rust, and so fast I genuinely had a "wtf?!" moment the first time I used it.
Would love to see a similar linter; if I had the time, I'd love to try building one - need to get acquainted with tree-sitters one day! 🌳

We all know filter, mutate, summarize, but the #tidyverse has some advanced hidden jems!
Recently a client sent me some code they were using to look up values between 2 tables based on date-times.
I replaced ~100 lines of code* with a single inner_join(by = join_by(overlap())).
Recently a client sent me some code they were using to look up values between 2 tables based on date-times.

I just learned about the `truncate` argument in {lubridate} functions, which means NO MORE HACKY paste0(year, "-01-01") code to build dates when converting years to dates in #rstats
![library(lubridate)
yr <- 2025
# This doesn't work
ymd(yr)
#> Warning message:
#> All formats failed to parse. No formats found.
#> [1] NA
#-------
# TIRED
#-------
# I've done this for *yeeeeears*
ymd(paste0(yr, "-01-01"))
#> [1] "2025-01-01"
#-------
# WIRED
#-------
# The truncated argument tells {lubridate} that it can
# ignore up to 2 (in this case) formats to look for.
# Ordinarily `ymd()` looks for three formats: a year,
# a month, and a day. `truncated = 2` means it can skip
# the month and day parts
ymd(yr, truncated = 2)
#> [1] "2025-01-01"
ymd(c("2025", "2025-10", "2025-10-02"), truncated = 2)
#> [1] "2025-01-01" "2025-10-01" "2025-10-02"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2zcfjzyocp6kapg6jc4eacok/bafkreihu4f54mnmgtyyl2u6azxu6iqdgjwrcte7hgdmv4cfyevyyexer3i@jpeg)

I've been using Air since switching to Positron and have been loving it. My only criticism is the styling of tibbles (it just breaks them). Apparently that has been solved
