How do I ensure reproducibility when I send an R script to others? Nowadays Python has uv's inline metadata, but I don't know the equivalent for R. (To be honest, I've never set up a virtual environment per project in R.)

I am currently learning web development from The Odin Project to build my own data visualization on the web. But at this point, I am divided between sticking to learning the web dev fundamental from the ground-up or taking the easy road by relying on AI.

This is something that I’ve been looking for!

Now everyone’s talking about MCP. How does one even keep up with all this AI advancing so rapidly?

On Brag Document | Farhan Hutabarat – Weakly Informative Document I wish I had started earlier.

Now that I am actively looking for a new opportunity, I wrote a blog post reflecting on my regret of not starting a brag document sooner.

Thank you for your elaborate response, think I will work on the first two modules of the Odin Project and try your course afterwards to see if I can keep up with the materials.

Once again, thanks a lot!

Is this course beginner-friendly? I have limited front-end development knowledge and am interested in learning from your course

I managed to implement zoom and pan functionality using Observable Plot. However, it becomes very laggy when zooming over a rasterized map.

Thank you! I'll look into it. Meanwhile, I've decided to run RStudio Server on a droplet to run the code directly inside the remote server.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Can I run multiple and Stan models (>24 hours) on a remote server without keeping my laptop connected? Currently using {future} & {analogsea} for parallelization on DigitalOcean droplets. #rstats

Bluesky really is the new #rstats twitter because we have the first base R vs tidyverse flame war 🀣

At this point I am too afraid to ask a follow-up question in the GitHub discussion because I will definitely look too dumb to understand this whole Observable Framework

We’re going to hear lots of stories about which people, policies and rhetoric are to blame for the Democrats’ defeat.

Some of those stories may even be true!

But an underrated factor is that 2024 was an absolutely horrendous year for incumbents around the world πŸ‘‡ οΏΌ

I have to learn JavaScript now because sooner or later I will need the skill, especially for data visualization on the web

Hi, I wanna learn more about game theory. Would really appreciate if any of you have recommendations where to start!

Now we are back to finding new housing for the rest of the semester. Fingers crossed for on-campus housing.

I finally secured an off campus housing. Can’t believe NYC housing market is *this* brutal.

Finding housing in New York is a compromise between affordability, safety, and proximity.
