Thinking too much about denim

1. Positron

   I can’t believe I’m old enough to see RStudio get replaced (they say RStudio will still be supported for years to come, so there is hope).
   Positron is supposedly:

   • A next-generation data science IDE built by Posit PBC

   • An extensible, polyglot tool for writing code and exploring data

   • A familiar environment for reproducible authoring and publishing

   

   Seems to be built on the same source code as VS Code, which is solid. But it isn’t RStudio!

2. Multiformat branding with _brand.yml – Quarto

   Timely.

3. The Problem of Thinking Too Much on JSTOR

   We can spend endless time thinking and wind up doing nothing-or, worse, getting involved in the minutiae of a partially baked idea and believing that pursuing it is the same as making progress on the original problem.

4. Hitchens's razor - Wikipedia

   What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence

   It’s a little problematic but still, did you know this phrase had a name?

5. The First Virtual Meeting Was in 1916 - IEEE Spectrum

6. The Lifecycle of Jeans

   Buy quality once or cheap many times. Wear them 5-10 times before washing inside out. Learn to patch and mend.

7. Ocean Sciences with the Spilhaus Projection: A Seamless Ocean Map for Spatial Data Recognition
