Wrote a JS implementation for generating the R `PACKAGES.rds` binary format in Node, which are now served by R-universe. This should make your cran-like repos yet a tiny bit faster in R :) github.com/r-universe-o...
We are currently working on the igraph 3.0.0 release which will bring big changes to the #rstats package! One that just landed on GitHub is a new, modern printing method that uses cli 🙂

It's worse than forgetting to put women in it. They put women in it as second-class citizens, as objects, with no rights. The subject matter in this book will and should make us men feel angry and horrified (it did me. I thought I had an inkling of the worst out there. I didn't) 📘💙 #BookSky

#RStats
The `/packages` page of each r-universe now has a fancy filter/sort bar, e.g. check ropensci.r-universe.dev/packages
#Rstats package update: callr 3.8.0. OpenTelemetry, carrier::crate(), pseudo terminals, plus I fixed (well, closed) all issues, but one. See the changes at github.com/r-lib/callr/...
A quick #rstats technote about some cool recent additions to R-universe:
1. Social media cards that actually look good
2. PACKAGES.rds support (or: implementing R internals in JavaScript)
3. Fancy sort/filter bars in the WebUI
4. triggering a sync manually
5. Making check results easier to find

Quarto's `hugo-md` format wraps every figure in raw HTML, so Hugo's image render hook never fires on them.
Fifteen lines of Lua + one line in `_quarto.yml` and every figure comes out as clean `` markdown instead.
