Picture of the Deadwood bar in Iowa City, where the marquee has the "W" missing so that it spells "DEAD OOD". Perhaps fittingly, above the marquee, a group of stuffies is posed in a window, appearing to stare forlornly at the pavement below.

Stop fighting with Git. A few .gitconfig tweaks fix the daily annoyances: branch sorting by date, auto remote tracking, work/personal email switching, SSH commit signing.

I'm hoping this is for what I think it is for (looking forward to finding out more)! Congrats!

Side by side views of the Positron. The left side has the activity bar on the left in the default position. The right side has the activity bar in the top position.
Screenshot of the Positron IDE showing that the Activity Bar moved from the default position on the left side to the top where it's much smaller. A right-click menu is open next to the “Explorer” label, with the option Activity Bar Position → Top selected. Annotations highlight where to right-click, next to the word Explorer, then choose Activity Bar Position, and then choose Top.
This is the most elite change in #Positron, it's so calming.

Magnificent. Make sure you click on the "1 more reply" link to make sure you read the whole thread. You will not regret it.
Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

A photograph of the seminary gym in knives out. It has the same window.
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

"Years and years ago, there was a production of The Tempest, out of doors, at an Oxford college on a lawn, which was the stage, and the lawn went back towards the lake in the grounds of the college, and the play began in natural light. But as it developed, and as it became time for Ariel to say his farewell to the world of The Tempest, the evening had started to close in and there was some artificial lighting coming on. And as Ariel uttered his last speech, he turned and he ran across the grass, and he got to the edge of the lake and he just kept running across the top of the water — the producer having thoughtfully provided a kind of walkway an inch beneath the water. And you could see and you could hear the plish, plash as he ran away from you across the top of the lake, until the gloom enveloped him and he disappeared from your view. And as he did so, from the further shore, a firework rocket was ignited, and it went whoosh into the air, and high up there it burst into lots of sparks, and all the sparks went out, and he had gone. "When you look up the stage directions, it says, 'Exit Ariel.”
Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

I'm reminded of how handy the usethis::browse_*() functions are and thought I'd remind people they exist. Choose from a menu of links or go straight to CRAN or GitHub. #rstats

I'm exited to announce a new resource about making slides with quarto and revealjs. This book is the combination of all the work I have done in this area, reordered and polished up
There isn't a lot of new information yet, but this format allows me to add more easily

🕐 🤔 Timestamps and time zones can be confusing! 😵
💡 To help you make sense of time zones in SQL, Richard Wesley wrote a short guide that covers some typical pitfalls: duckdb.org/docs/stable/...
Does Jenny Bryan #VibeCode? 🤔
She shared on the Hangout that she's been thankful that she gets to learn #rust and #typscript in the age of #AI and these are her thoughts on #LLM use. (We really need a #RubberDuck emoji 🦆)

Amazing! I really enjoy your writing! Looking forward to you being a part of the class!
Really looking forward teaching again with @3mmarand.bsky.social: all sorts of good stuff, including:
🐝 getting started with functions
⚡️ writing functions with tidy evaluation
🏃♀️iterating over columns of data frames

Hope you can join us!
This is awesome: a "WKRP in Cincinnati" fan created a three-hour Johnny Fever radio block, by using clips from the TV show and dropping in the full songs on his intros and outros, plus commercials and Les Nessman news breaks.
this is my TS album drop 🤩
I have drifted from Observable lately, and I could use a distraction today.
I've got my morning coffee, let's do this!
At Posit, we love @typst.app:
⚡ Make PDFs in milliseconds, not minutes
✨ The power of LaTeX with today's technologies
✍️ Modern typography (including emojis!)
🧠 Clear mental model
So I'm thrilled to announce that we're now supporting its development: posit.co/blog/posit-a...
