What I don't understand about this approach is how you detect when an API breaks / changes etc? Surely you want to know that your functions are broken and need updating?

There's an archived version at archive.ph/v4CbC the kinds of domains used for these "news" articles are classic examples of the the type used by reputation management companies.

Disaggregation regression produces high resolution predictions from data aggregated into polygons making it well suited to epidemiological modelling. Disagapp makes the process simple and easy! Join Simon Smart and Tim Lucas for this introductory workshop. On Teams 14:00-16:00 UTC 16 September 2025 See more details and sign up via the QR code

Myself and @statsforbios.bsky.social are running a workshop in September to introduce Disagapp disagapp.le.ac.uk for disaggregation regression. More details and sign up at forms.office.com/e/pjfbD6RvTi #rstats #episky #AcademicSky

My colleague informs me that Ctrl + space does the same thing too

For anyone else wondering - you need to press tab after starting to type. So much pain caused by not knowing this til now!

Presumably you're using ExtendedTask? So long as you have >=3 workers (one for the app, one for each task) I can't see why what you describe would stop responsiveness and the UI layout shouldn't make a difference. Have you got a MRE?

Pretty cool that 10 % of UK farmland is now being managed with an #rstats #rshiny app www.linkedin.com/posts/tomscr... #iykyk

Not really - I don't think you have anything to fear. PAN's modus operandi is to test things, find tiny traces and generate a scary headline. Per the report, the exposure was 40000 times lower than a safe level. French regulators concluded exposure wasn't dangerous www.anses.fr/en/system/fi...

Organic panty liners recalled after traces of weedkiller found More than 3,000 boxes of Organyc-brand panty liners pulled in France and Canada after glyphosate detected in range of hygiene products

Previously, organic brands have also been found to contain glyphosate www.theguardian.com/world/2016/f... figures are different but those concentrations are actually higher than what the single detection in this report (0.025 vs 0.004 mg/kg)

Because there is an evidence-based system for determining safe MRLs and this is 40000 times lower than what a French regulator deems safe. Also by comparison, wheat can safely contain levels 1000 times higher than what was found.

Wow - this is an incredibly misleading piece of reporting that unquestionably parrots activist. Looking at their report, they found glyphosate in only 1/15 tampons tested and the exposure from that is still 40000 times lower than a level deemed safe by French regulators.

Shinyscholar 0.4.1 is up on CRAN. The UI has been migrated to {bslib} along with other tweaks to modernise it. Async tasks now run using {mirai}. Want to learn more? Then come along to the Workshop for Ukraine in a few weeks : sites.google.com/view/dariia-... #rstats

And I think the solution in your case when the binary isn't yet available is to use install.packages("modelbased", type = "source")

modelbased: Estimation of Model-Based Predictions, Contrasts and Means Implements a general interface for model-based estimations for a wide variety of models, used in the computation of marginal means, contrast analysis and predictions. For a list of supported models, s...

The .tgz is the binary version which takes a while for CRAN to produce once a new version is uploaded. 0.11 is listed now on cran.r-project.org/web/packages... but you'll see the windows binaries are still 0.10

I'm delivering a Workshop for Ukraine on 5 June about {shinyscholar} cran.r-project.org/web/packages... a template for creating reproducible shiny apps for complex analyses in #rstats . More info and sign up here: sites.google.com/view/dariia-...

library(shiny) library(bslib) library(mirai) daemons(1) onStop(function() daemons(0)) ui <- page_fluid( p("The time is ", textOutput("current_time", inline = TRUE)), hr(), numericInput("n", "Sample size (n)", 100), numericInput("delay", "Seconds to take for plot", 5), actionButton("btn", "Go"), textOutput("progress_log"), plotOutput("plot"), ) my_func <- function(x, y, file){ writeLines(paste0("Starting..."), file) for (i in 1:y){ Sys.sleep(1) writeLines(paste0("Step ", i, " complete"), file) } writeLines(paste0("Finished"), file) runif(x) } server <- function(input, output, session) { progress_file <- tempfile() output$current_time <- renderText({ invalidateLater(1000) format(Sys.time(), "%H:%M:%S %p") }) task_var <- NULL task <- ExtendedTask$new( function(...) task_var <<- mirai(run(...), environment(), .args = list(run = my_func)) ) observeEvent(input$btn, { if (task$status() == "running"){ mirai::stop_mirai(task_var) } task$invoke(input$n, input$delay, progress_file)} ) output$plot <- renderPlot({ if (task$status() == "success"){ hist(task$result()) } }) progress_reader <- reactiveFileReader(100, session, progress_file, readFunc = function(file) { if (file.exists(file)) { readLines(file) } } ) output$progress_log <- renderPrint({ cat(paste(progress_reader(), collapse = "\n")) }) } shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

Being able to cancel and restart slow-running jobs in shiny with {mirai} is a bit of a game-changer #rstats Full app in alt text / gist.github.com/simon-smart8... with a method for updating progress too

Not very elegant, but what about a script that generates an .rmd/.qmd with the right number of chunks?

Sounds good, but it's not really reducing emissions if the cashback comes from offsetting is it?

Agreed, but here you go: archive.ph/5iEDt and you can bookmark this link: javascript:void(open('http://archive.today/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location))) and if you click it when you're on a paywalled article it will load the archived version

Any chance you could share the code for making those plots?

You definitely need some icing sugar! I'm all about savoury fillings to maximise the opportunities. Mushroom, cavolo nero, cream and cheese today

Take a look at this chapter of mastering shiny: mastering-shiny.org/action-tidy....

Haven't done any training but I find SA a bit useless as you think it should know more than it actually does. I've had a lot of hallucinations from it and any positives are outweighed by the lack of persistent history. I use deepseek mainly now and it seems to be as good if not better.

Nice work! Your UI would work well with bslib::accordion

You can wrap them in tagList(). I also just remembered about shiny::markdown which you might want to use. Then you can format more easily than using <strong> etc. which I've realised don't work that well in tags$ as you have to do tags$p("The quick brown", tags$em("fox"), "jumps over the lazy dog.")

Bit late, but I'd be happy to take a look. (One immediate comment would be to use round() on the stats like p-value)

I'd suggest moving all your .R files to an R/ folder and then they get sourced automatically. If you make plot_annotations.R then you put your text inside a function in there, and just call that underneath the relevant plot
