Satellite view of swirling clouds in the wake of the Canary Islands. Wind is blowing off the African Continent (visible on the right-hand side of the image) over the mountainous Canaries. This creates vortices and eddies that are often visible in low-level clouds over the Atlantic Ocean.

NYC’s newest billionaire status symbol: a double-wide townhouse.
Ultra-wealthy buyers are combining 2–3 historic townhomes into mega-mansions designed to feel like suburban estates — in the middle of the Manhattan.

Have you seen our Olympic medal count visualization?
BTW: To generate the Olympic medal scarfs, we render it on HTML canvas. A powerful drawing technology, but inherently non-interactive. We wanted the medals to be clickable. So: How do you render an interactive canvas?

Who says you can't offer the medal table as a knitting pattern for people to knit themselves?

The White House did a dishonest y-axis so I fixed their y-axis for them, you’re welcome White House

Thanks, good to know! So far I'm still shying away from making a switch from RStudio + .Rmd, since it fits my needs almost perfectly.
(and I'm probably also reluctant to invest the time required to adjust to a new routine)
Sounds great!
Will there be support for .rmd files as well?
The lack of inline output when working with notebooks is the one thing that currently keeps me from switching to Positron.
I guess so too: bsky.app/profile/patr...

NEW | India is forging a different #energytransition path to China 🇮🇳⚡
Where China built first on coal and gas, India is taking a shortcut — using cheap solar to meet rising demand, relying far less on fossil fuels, and electrifying transport earlier.
