Grant McDermottHappy to see that `jgd` is now up on CRAN.
An alternative #rstats graphics device that's fast and lightweight (mostly pure C). Try it out with our VS Code extension or Deno server. More details: https://github.com/grantmcdermott/jgd
Joint work with the indefatigable @eitsupi
Stephen TurnerAI in RStudio posit.co/blog/introdu... #Rstats
Experimental #rstats package for nice graphics display and UX in VS Code (and other potential front-ends)

Very lightweight and seems to work as expected on my system, but please kick the tyres.

"About 400 million years ago—long before the first giant dinosaurs—a massive and strange organism up to 8 meters long loomed over the Lilliputian plants, mushrooms, and bugs that carpeted the land"
Not a fungus. Not a lichen. Not a plant ...
An unknown branch of multicellular life that went extinct

Daniel S. KatzI've collected a set of papers and articles that discuss errors in research due to software errors, in a GitHub repo: https://github.com/danielskatz/errors-due-to-research-software. I think this could be a useful resource for many purposes, and additional contributions are welcome.
MinaMany of you might have already seen the ultra cute "sea sheep" (Costasiella kuroshimae), but yesterday I learned 2 mind-blowing facts about the family of sea slugs they belong to:
1. They incorporate chloroplasts (the organelles in plant cells that do the actual photosynthesis) of plants they eat, into their own bodies to do photosynthesis directly for them (that is the green colour you see), in order to survive if food is scarce.
Imagine being able to live from light!
