  1. A bit inside baseball -- how I made my blog faster: cut CI per push from ~6 min to ~2 min, and kept every home/archive page O(1) in corpus size. Principles: compute once at input-change time, put the result under a stable URL, let everything downstream pull it from cache.

  2. Some of the things we covered:

    📊 How to write a function to re-use your charts across multiple datasets

    ✍ How to create a parameterised report in

    🛠️ How to generate many reports across different parameter sets

    🔎 How to show and hide report content based on output format and parameter values

    🌍 How to generate multiple similar sections within one report, mapping across variables

  3. @robchapman Thanks! For years I just wrote and posted on Linkedin because of laziness. 😛 But it's hard to turn my #writings, almost always in #markdown these days, and post them. And I start to feel entrusting a commercial platform entirely with my intellectual output is not a great option.

    I picked #Quarto because its qmd files is basically markdown, w/ support of #LaTeX (#math), #Mermaid diagrams and other stuff. Will be handy very soon with more technical stuff.

  4. I have 99% switched from #rstats to #pydata as my job changed from analysis to data engineering. But I I was just analyzing survey results and trying to weave the result into a programmatically generated PDF. It was a struggle to get beautiful output in Python, the formatting of charts and text was endlessly finicky. I switched to #Quarto and gosh it's so much better 🤩

  5. New post: The Markdown Link no. 18

    Among today’s links are markdown editors Instant Markdown Notes, MarkNote and EdgeMark, a scientific and technical publishing system known as Quarto, and Trillium, a Notion-like app that throws the whole cart at you

  6. @neilstats I’ve been finding productivity in running #R code in a literate programming style with #Quarto. Also, wanting to explore the new #Jupyter notebooks support in #Positron to see how an #EDA workflow might look like.

  7. A rough website is ready. I could use some help with the and . I am using and hosting the website on pages.

  8. Excited to officially announce our free "Cytometry in R" mini-course, aimed at coding beginners, will be starting up the first week of February! 🥳 It will be offered both online and in-person at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. 1500 people have signed up!!! #flowcytometry #rstats #quarto 1/7

  9. Ce soir à la #PlaJe et en petit comité, quelques parties de #Quarto pour s'échauffer, puis place à #TakeTime (boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/44) où nous finissons les 2 premiers chapitres et commençons le 3ème. #libellud #boardgames #brettspiele #jeudesociete

  10. 📢 Missed our workshop with @DerekSollberger on Interactive Dashboards with Quarto + Shiny?

    ✅ Recording is LIVE!

    Build dashboards with R, Quarto, Shiny & maps!

  11. Disappeared down a rabbit hole expecting that it would be straightforward to use a Font Awesome icon as a Quarto dashboard valuebox icon instead of the Bootstrap ones. Ended up faking it using a bslib value_box instead setting showcase= fontawesome::fa(name) call instead. ...I'm probably missing something really simple 🤔

  12. Saturday morning hacking on {quarto-assign} that takes

    One file → multiple outputs (assignment/solution/rubric)

    Coming soon:

    ✨ Auto-numbering with {#exr-} integration
    📦 Solutions in callouts

  13. 👽 Third time lucky! The forecasts from my predictive system indicate another 3️⃣ CUT. The predictive intervals do not contain the current cash rate value. 🤖 They include a 25bp cut, though. The forecast mean suggests a 15bp decrease. 📉

    👾 My system predicted correctly last 12 decisions. Will 13 become my lucky number? 🚀

  14. #quarto #rstats friends who use github action to publish articles:

    it's currently taking github actions ~30 mins to publish my little #mgcv help site (calgary.converged.yt/). This seems to be because it's installing a lot of R packages from source.

    What's the current state-of-the-art to get these things to render quickly? (And using minimal power.)

    (I'd like to not use github but I would also like to encourage PRs etc from folks without a huge overhead from them, so let's stick to github-based solutions for now.)

  15. #WebAssembly eliminates infrastructure barriers, allowing educators to focus on teaching rather than technical setup. It integrates seamlessly with existing Quarto course websites and documents. #quarto #interactivelearning

  16. Our courses for the first half of 2025 have now been released. We have everything from the very basics of R and Python for data science, to advanced statistical modelling and machine learning.

  17. So for Grazer Linuxtage (#glt25) I consider submitting a talk. I came up with two talk ideas so far. Which talk would you be interested in?

    *Current state of digital typesetting*
    a comparsion and explanation of typesetting engines like #TeX/#LuaLaTeX, #typst, #SILE, #boxesandglue, and frontends like #Quarto

    *New features in CSS3*
    This talk assumes you are familiar with #CSS, but you need an update for the latest #CSS3 features with a focus on typography and line-based typesetting

  18. WOW! I have been doing the 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘴 for two years now! And it's been so much fun! 🚀

  19. Here are details of my prediction for today's #Lithuania's #Seimas election.
    I've used the same approach and model (and a lot of the same code) that I did in 2020.
    None of the code, the website coding, or the text is very clean, but I'm tired and going to bed.
    It may not have been a good idea to try doing my first #Quarto project with something that has a deadline - #ElectionPredictions are more interesting before the elections.

  20. I wrote a little #lignin #plantbiology perspective article entirely in #rstats #Quarto a while back (leonardblaschek.github.io/asse) and had a blast. I ran into a couple of bugs along the way, but the quarto team was lightning fast in fixing them.

    The only thing I'm still wrapping my head around is efficient co-writing with colleagues not using git. Any better ideas than rendering to .docx and manually copying track changes into the source file?

  21. Yeah, nah! It’s interesting! 🤣 🤓 👻

    My forecast shows only a 60% probability of the cash rate increase in June but as much as a 75% chance in July. Additionally, the multivariate models for weekly data have the cash rate’s current level out of the forecast intervals, indicating a decisive increase. However, the pooled forecast of weekly and monthly data using multi- and uni-variate models says 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗗. 👫 👬 👭
