Thursday afternoon fun - making isochrones with no value but their blobby sea dragon weirdness!

So what I was really play with in @rstats yesterday was drive time analysis to Canberra's two hospitals - there's a bit of a joke that everywhere in Canberra is only 20 minutes drive away - it's not quite true though...

In the deep south and the new suburbs of the north the drive to the closest hospital is over 30 minutes!

This analysis is by SA1 taking simple centroids - still needs a bit of work, but really enjoying learning how to get openrouteservice working in a docker container on my local computer - definitely woth looking at as an alternative to google or mapbpx

I can't believe it has taken me however many years I've been using @rstats ggsave() to realise... it saves the current size of the "Plots" pane in RStudio (or more generally if I had bothered to ever properly read the help text "using the size of the current graphics device")

Such a joyous time here in at the moment. Picked over 700g of raspberries, a couple of kilos of cherry tomatoes just this morning.

Might be time to pick the pears?

So many bees! And a few different varieties which is so great to see.

Wow, ok we picked the pears, filled a laundry basket.

My mother just offered me a ~70 year old fur coat. It was made by Madame Louise of Nairobi.

The ethics of old fur aside, it was made of hyrax, an animal I'm not sure I'd heard of before today, and it looks this 👇and I just can't fathom deciding to make a coat out a bunch of these little weirdos

Another photo, from Hyrax Facts, your best source for all your hyrax fact needs - my favourite, they aren't in fact rodents but more closely related to elephants and dugong! https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/hyrax-facts-animals-of-africa.html

So I haven't been doing but here's something dumb I did with @rstats on my phone. A Conway's Game of Life that plays in the console.

So another @rstats wonder!

You can render to epub - so great that resources like https://r4ds.had.co.nz/index.html that are actually quarto books can be rendered as an epub just by changing the .yaml format

(I realised recently you can also do this with bookdown which is amazing)

absolutely going to go and make a donation at https://www.doc.govt.nz/kakapo-donate

@rstats one thing I did find a little frustrating is that there were a handful of pacakges I didn't have installed and rendering kept halting.

Is there an established way to search through a large number of files to find and install packages?

There are about 49 files that likely include pacakges so didn't really want to do it manually - here was my hacky solution

@Dan @rstats The R4DS repository includes a DESCRIPTION file listing the book's dependencies so, assuming that's complete, you can just use devtools::install_deps(). Otherwise, try renv::init(), which searches through the files.

So my local drug dealer house has put up decorations and it's like, dudes, your house is already a fucking horror show

(Note - they're not MY drug dealer, just the drug dealers closest to me that I walk past every day while walking the dog)
