Nicola Rennie<p>I've written a short blog post about the process of switching from Hugo to Quarto, some of the tricky things, and advice for those thinking about doing the same! </p><p>Blog post: <a href="https://nrennie.rbind.io/blog/hugo-quarto-website/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nrennie.rbind.io/blog/hugo-qua</span><span class="invisible">rto-website/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/RStats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RStats</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/QuartoPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QuartoPub</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Quarto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Quarto</span></a></p>

Dr. Robert M Flight<p>I finally tried using a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Quarto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Quarto</span></a> doc with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Python</span></a> in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PositronIDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PositronIDE</span></a> .</p><p>Y'all. 🤩 It's so good. It's so flippin nice. I even added a snippet to easily add a python code cell by pressing `p + tab`. </p><p>It finds my `uv` virtualenv, I can just add more code and hit `Ctrl + Enter` and it goes to the console, and everything behaves *mostly* like it does when I'm writing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RStats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RStats</span></a> .</p>

Emilia Jarochowska 🇺🇦🌱<p>I'm sure someone has already invented a <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>python</span></a> wiper that gets rid of all stray python installations, venvs and package managers. After two versions of poetry, a conda episode (better say: accident), a switch to uv, inconsistent use of pip, pipx and python installs via <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/homebrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homebrew</span></a>, and installs via miniconda that <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/julialang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>julialang</span></a> and <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/quarto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quarto</span></a> sneaked up on me, there is absolutely no way to make any path to anything work in any virtual environment and I need a new laptop. So what's the python wiper called?</p>
Continued thread

Bernard Angele is back at the lectern #WoReLa1 with their own talk this time on "Low sampling rate is not an obstacle to making reading research more accessible". The #Quarto slides* are available here bangele.quarto.pub/worela2025/ and they include rather hilarious distorted maps of the world illustrating the geographical distribution of #eyetracking studies on reading. Less hilariously, it turns out that, up until recently, the vast majority of eyetracking studies were carried out in the US and West Europe on major European languages. Now studies on Chinese in China are changing the picture, but still eyetracking reading studies are still limited to very few languages.

* Also, it turns out that using #QuartoPub to host Quarto slides is not only useful to share slides with the audience and on social media, but also to easily switch computer when the presenter's laptop can no longer connect with the temperamental projector.

Here is a #quarto #rstats trick that could be useful and I just figured out! If you want to parametrise the creation of pages within a website, instead of using a purrr loop with quarto_render on a .qmd temlpate, use a purrr loop with writeLines to create your .qmd files in a script loaded before rendering with the pre-render yml option!

A blog post is coming soon but you can already have a look at my repository for example: github.com/damien-dupre/cere20

#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.)

calgary.converged.ytYes! You can do that in mgcv – Yes! You can do that in mgcv!
