I’m currently a freelancer, and was a software engineer at Posit Software, PBC(2013-2023). I earned my PhD from the Department of Statistics, Iowa StateUniversity. Mythesis wasDynamicGraphics andReporting forStatistics, advised byDi Cook andHeikeHofmann. I have developed aseries of R packages either seriously or forfun (or both), such aslitedown,knitr,animation,bookdown,blogdown,pagedown,xaringan, andtinytex. Ifounded a Chinese website called “Capital of Statistics” in2006, which has grown into a large online community on statistics. I initiatedthe China R conference in 2008. I’m a big fan ofGitHub,LyX andPandoc. I used to hate IE but no longer care since it hasalmost died. I fall asleep when I see beamer slides, and I yell at people whouse\textbf{} to write\title{}. I know I cannot eat code, so I cook almostevery day to stay away from my computer for two hours.
这是谢益辉的主页。2013 年底我从Ames村办大学统计系毕业，终于解决了人生前三十年被问最多的问题：“你怎么还没毕业？“目前为自由职业者。我支持开源，喜欢折腾网站和代码，是个高度自我驱动的人。打羽毛球爱勾对角，打乒乓球像太极，网球满场子捡球，篮球容易被撞飞，攀岩一次，腿软。宅，口重、嗜辣、屡教不改。智商中等偏下，对麻将和三国杀有不可逾越的认知障碍，实变函数课上曾被老师叫醒。略好读书与文，对诗词楹联感兴趣，目前较中意的一联是：千秋邈矣独留我；百战归来再读书。最喜欢的一首词是：
深情似海，问相逢初度，是何年纪？依约而今还记取，不是前生夙世。放学花前，题诗石上，春水园亭里。逢君一笑，人间无此欢喜。
无奈苍狗看云，红羊数劫，惘惘休提起。客气渐多真气少，汩没心灵何已。千古声名，百年担负，事事违初意。心头阁住，儿时那种情味。
