Saturday morning hacking on {quarto-assign} that takes
One file → multiple outputs (assignment/solution/rubric)
Coming soon:
Auto-numbering with {#exr-} integration
Solutions in callouts
Scattered links driving you crazy in a post?
The linkate Quarto extension automatically collects every URL and creates a tidy "Links" section at the bottom. Just add one line to your YAML!

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 https://bangele.quarto.pub/worela2025/#/title-slide 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: https://github.com/damien-dupre/cere2025
At least my #rstats and #quarto error messages are educational, now that I setup the list of common misconceptions in my .Rprofile: https://github.com/Kudusch/common_misconceptions
#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 (https://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.)
If you want to get useful work done with R—like making visualizations, automating reports, or building simple websites—this book shows you how.
No heavy math. No academic detours. Just clear, hands-on guidance for using R with tools like ggplot2, Quarto, and the tidyverse.
New blogpost: Lab Notebook Entry #5
In which I try to make an instructional video on how to assemble our flow battery dev kit jig and cell.
New blogpost: Lab Notebook Entry #4
In which I write just to tell you I did a lot of work including video recording of cell assembly processes that I then lost on my laptop :/
Taking some L's right now in life and in lab, hoping to get some momentum back.
After disrupting the notebook world, #marimo is expanding to markdown with a new #Quarto extension (WIP)!

What's marimo? Reactive #jupyter -like notebooks that automatically run cells when code changes. marimo islands is making this tech portable everywhere
