#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.)
Struggling with $ signs breaking your Typst templates in Quarto?
Standard escaping doesn't work, but hex escape sequences do: \u{24}
Wrote up a quick note with Typst's ASCII table tool for finding any character's hex code.
Une super extension #Quarto qui permet, entre autre, de gérer des bibliographies multiples : Cite Tools - Cite Tools https://bcdavasconcelos.github.io/citetools/
Curious about this, but please add a link to the post! (Also for later reference, when that post might not be at the top of your blog's landing page anymore.)
I'd recommend giving #Quarto a spin as well. It's also based on #Markdown + #BibTex, but is designed for academic long-form writing (e.g. with the "book" format).
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.
@RLadiesGaborone will be having a Cascadia R Conf 2025 Virtual Watch Party for people who can not attend in person.

A quick hack to show how to insert a #IIIf-Viewer in a #quarto html-doc:
```{html}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/openseadragon/2.4.2/openseadragon.min.js"></script>
<div id="openseadragon-viewer" style="width: 100%; height: 500px;"></div>
<script>
var viewer = OpenSeadragon({
id: "openseadragon-viewer",
prefixUrl: "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/openseadragon/2.4.2/images/",
tileSources: "https://heidicon.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/iiif/2/1115517%3A579677/info.json",
showNavigator: true,
});
</script>
```

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.
Questino to #rstats #quarto #typst hivemind:
What is the purpose of the typst-show.typ file when creating #extensions?
It seems that everything this file does can also be achieved in the typst-template.typ.
What are the advantages of having both file types?
After disrupting the notebook world, #marimo is expanding to markdown with a new #Quarto extension (WIP)!
https://marimo-team.github.io/quarto-marimo/
What's marimo? Reactive #jupyter -like notebooks that automatically run cells when code changes. marimo islands is making this tech portable everywhere

Quarto is not an R package @Lluis_Revilla :)
Anyhow, getting #quarto to run on Alpine was harder than anticipated ️
Also, 1.7 still uses deno v1. (The exact dependency versions are hard to infer in general)
Besides, deno itself is a mess on Alpine.
They have a dedicated image which is statically linked against a custom C lib which they put first in the LD_LIB path. This works for deno but breaks all other native Alpine binaries ️
https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/devxygmbh/alpine-quarto/
Source: https://codefloe.com/devxy/container-images-misc/src/branch/main/images/alpine-quarto/Containerfile
The image is not optimized and besides getting 'configure' to work, there's still work to do to bundle the resulting assets. The quarto dev instructions don't instruct on that and one needs to figure it out through the CI builds. But once that is done, it should be possible to get down in size.
Can #quarto run in an alpine container (e.g., in rhub/r-minimal)? Can't find any examples. Is it a fundamental glibc/musl problem? @gaborcsardi @ramikrispin
I enjoyed writing my first blog post last weekend, so I thought I'd write another one. This one is about a #bash script that became a #Python script and is now a package. All because I was too lazy to label plates and tubes in the lab by hand. The post is mostly about the history and motivation behind the package, i.e. the stuff that does't really fit into the README
Feeling sort of relieved this morning after finally replacing my old #Wordpress site with an exceedingly simple and light-weight static site built using #Quarto.
