i can hack things with calls to system() to move files after they’re generated but having the source live in a subdirectory too seems to be painful if i’m trying to adhere to the best practice of having all paths start at the project root (e.g., using {here})

does anyone have a good example of a repository where parameterized #quarto reports are generated but the source and/or outputs live in subdirectories? i’m having trouble setting a project up so that i don’t end up with a bunch of generated reports at the top level… 🤔

very nice! how did you decide on making the y-coordinates follow a sigmoid? did you consider/try any alternatives?

does anyone know of a good read-it-later service/method? my go-to service, pocket, is shutting down 😔

oh! i misread your example. i thought left was step 1 and right was step 2. i agree—it’s convenient to have it all rolled up in one function 🎉

interesting! is there a benefit to using reader::parse_number() over as.numeric()?

there are a few ways to save content. i use a web browser extension on my laptop. on my phone, i have the iOS Pocket app, which comes with share menu integration: when you go to share a site in your web browser, you can tap the Pocket icon to add it to your saves

yes, it basically saves links and then gives you an interface (mobile app or website) to read the content you've saved i like to tag my saves to help remind myself of why i saved them, and you could use that to organize into topics when i've read something, i archive it for safe keeping 💾

also using GitHub Desktop as a starter interface since it’s point and click and has built in diffs, but then peeling back the layers with command line git.

have new users try to draw diagrams of what’s happening (staging vs committing, pushing up to a cloud server). the mental model is the biggest hurdle in my experience teaching git to others. once they understand what’s happening, the commands aren’t too hard to remember.

my talk gives an overview of targets and some opinionated advice. if you want a more hands-on experience with the package, check out the tutorials i point to here: papsti.github.io/talks/2025-0...
