Goodbye, Gopher

=> ↺ Goodbye, Gopher

I have really enjoyed experimenting with the gopher protocol—and bending Jekyll to my will to actually serve up my phlog—but in the move to managed hosting for my personal website, gopher simply didn't make the cut. If Cloudflare ever decides to support non-HTTP protocols in their Pages product, then I may come back to it some day. But for now... it's time to say farewell.

The mysterious textInput RSS field

=> ↺ The mysterious textInput RSS field

I would know, because I re-implemented it on my own feed here recently, and have had a few emails from people claiming it broke their readers! In the case of a few parsers, the title for the entire channel was overwritten with the title of that textInput block, suggesting they’re incorrectly parsing any title in a channel header.

How a UseR! 2014 Experience Led to the Development of a 1,700-member R Community in Budapest - R Consortium

=> ↺ How a UseR! 2014 Experience Led to the Development of a 1,700-member R Community in Budapest - R Consortium

The trend that I particularly see over the next years is the increasing integration of programming languages, such as the introduction of C++ in R, or using Java or Python through R for the past years, and integrating packages from other languages (such as Rust) in R rather than writing everything in R.

Python for R users workshop

=> ↺ Python for R users workshop

Description: R users sometimes hear about the fabulous advantages of Python for advanced data science and modelling. While these claims are regularly exaggerated, it never hurts to be able to use more tools. This workshop will teach you to use Python together with R in the same project. That way, you can keep using the data science tool chain you already know and like in R (e.g., data processing and plotting), while employing tools from the Python world where needed, for example, for modelling. The workshop will include unsupervised machine learning with scikit-learn and BERTopic. We use the excellent reticulate package in a quarto+RStudio workflow to accomplish this, yet the knowledge is transferable to other tools.

Meet ecode: An Upcoming Modern, Lightweight Code Editor With a Brand New GUI Framework

Sure, that may not happen anytime soon. But it does not hurt to be optimistic about supporting new projects.
[...]
Now, I have stumbled upon another editor, "ecode". The project's author mentions that it takes inspiration from editors like Lite XL.
