Accessible PDFs are a nightmare to produce in my current workflow but non-accessible PDFs are a nightmare for those who need support...this is super unfortunate! I want to do better here but also I wonder: why have LLMs not solved this?? This should be a super low hanging fruit with real benefits!

I use Quarto but then it's pandoc under the hood. With the right templates and lua filters this works quite well...but getting it to a point where this is the actual tool we use for (research) production is quite some effort.

Typst is awesome as a markdown-pdf transformer BUT as long as I can only submit tex or word files to journals there needs to be a setup that does typst ans also latex... I'm working on it ๐ค

Do you also miss an elegant way to add table and figure notes in #Quarto #RStats? I've finally managed to put together a small Lua filter to make it easy ๐ค github.com/simonreif/no... currently only with LaTeX implementation, but hopefully I can add other outputs later ๐

Seit Einfรผhrung der Apps auf #Rezept gibt es zwar einen deutlichen Anstieg deutschsprachiger #Gesundheitsapps, aber nicht bei qualitativ hochwertigen Apps, die als #DiGA verschrieben werden kรถnnten. Das zeigt eine neue #ZEW -Studie u.a. von @simonreif.eu.

When Germany introduced structured reimbursement for health apps, way more apps were developed for the German market - BUT these additional apps actually are not the high-quality apps targeted by the reimbursement scheme! Check out our new #HealthEcon discussion paper ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs...

I'm not saying that people coding in academia should always adhere to software development best practices but let me just say, if every economist was suddenly blessed with the knowledge of how to use git, things would be a lot better

Finde das ein super spannendes Thema! Mein Gefรผhl ist: in der Wissenschaft sind die Leute ja eh intrinsisch motiviert, es braucht aber an vielen Stellen besseres Selbstmanagement. Nicht im Sinne von krasser Selbstoptimierung sondern im Sinne: "Der Arbeitstag hat 8h, wie mach ma des jetzt am besten?"

over the last ~20 years the applied theorist corps in econ has been hollowed out. now ~everyone is doing causal inference. good thing big policy changes with general equilibrium effects rarely happen and academic econ can stay "policy relevant"

The editorial boards of seven leading health econ journals are taking a stand today against political influence and ideological attacks on peer review and academia. No matter what you study we want to see your scholarship and will NEVER collaborate with suppression. Please repost.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that theyโre not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.
