Had a D-EJ2000. Was brilliant, best and last CD player I had. Inline remote, charging cradle, supported MP3 CDs. Slim, nicer aesthetic than that faux retro whatsit. What more did you need?
It looks like a vanilla slice, which has the same issue. Was enjoying Copilot’s suggestions on how to eat it, until I got to the last two…
QTP with a game that has a 10/10 soundtrack (too many to pick just one - love all these for different reasons)
A Scanner Darkly. The book hit me right in the feels, and the rotoscoping in the film lets all the blurring between reality and trippiness blend really well.
@weratedags.com Saw this one *years* ago, but it's lived in my mind rent-free ever since. Hi-res: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/u...
I think Quarto does this in HTML by default doesn't it? It make this mouseover to my document without any extra packages, just by rendering to HTML (sidenote: HTML should be the default for science, who needs paginated output when you're reading on a screen, and you can add interactivity!).
This quote reads like the last words of a supervillain as the superhero sends them into a vat of acid
We're doing a workshop on improving transparency and reproducibility in clinical trial analysis code 👩💻 (and more about open science in trials). It's on the 3rd October, at ICTMC2024 conference, Edinburgh, UK. Interested? Register here ➡ ictmc.org
"We thank Academic #4762 for their valuable contributions to ResearchFish, high mean impact factor, and considerable net grant money intake..."
Exactly. I think Liverpool has a few more SAS users too (please correct me if that’s not right!). But exactly, Stata’s much easier to QC/make reproducible. I’m keen to do this in R in our unit, but its certainly harder to implement, and more vulnerable to this:
Congrats! If you use a font with code ligatures (Fira Code; Victor Mono; Cascadia Code) in RStudio the new pipe becomes a cute l'il arrow which is pretty and more intuitive (imo).
