Are you switching from RMarkdown to Quarto? If so, why?

It seems super "in" with the community, but in my case, I'm not sure it's worth the extra coding. For context, I'd be using it to make manuscripts.

@Uriel I used in recently to make a set of parameterized reports, but I found it very difficult to render to MS Word and could not control spacing in the reports w/o strange hacks. {gt} tables were rendered, also, with inconsistent formatting that was difficult to standardize. Next time, I might see if is easier.

data friends, what are some things you want to learn this year?

i have a CVS-receipt-long list of things... but maybe top of the list i'd say: webR/wasm, more js & d3, svelte, docker, more on app dev (hosting, security, etc).

@tanya_shapiro I want to do more analyses in a Bayesian framework, figure out Quarto in , , and get into double digits in Advent of Code.

Highlights of in Ashland Nature Preserve in :

Two downy woodpeckers flushing insects (?) in the brambles
Red shouldered hawk alone in a lofty pine tree
Pretty sure I saw a hairy woodpecker as it was larger than a typical downy

And app from indicated it heard a golden-crowned kinglet but I did not get it

I think I learned today that your parameters in should not have the same name as variables in data frames. I could not render parameterized reports correctly. E.g.,. if my variable in my data is named "school" I should use something else in the YAML header like

My contribution is a map of life expectancy in South America.

I used the "compact" data file from this United Nations data source (full of lots of stats for the world): https://population.un.org/wpp/Download/Standard/MostUsed/

With this data set, you could take 1950 and 2021 data years and use lag() to compute percent change for all kinds of vital statistics for nations.

@aram I can recommend Extraordinary Attorney Woo as a smart Korean TV series in which the lead actor is neurodiverse. It's on Netflix, but do the subtitles because the dubbing is beyond bad.

I really love the parameterized reporting that is possible in in , but I'm stymied by how rendering to MS Word puts my gt() tables in one big chunk with no spacing. Is there a good resource for rendering to Word and controlling the spacing?

DataAngler,
@DataAngler@vis.social avatar

@mschmidty

I just found that a \ between code chunks will render as a hard return between the gt() tables in each chunk. It's clumsy but it's progress.

How Can Democracy Possibly Work Under Such Conditions?

Pervasive pessimism, waning support for a racial reckoning, anti-feminist reaction, and violent conspiracism on the rise… but it isn’t all bad, I promise.

Some thoughts, based on Part II of my deep dive into the American Values Survey:

@tzimmer_history Indeed--the history of our country is marked by backlash whenever there is some progress or potential progress in racial equity...
