Me too 😀 It is: - emacs27 with ligature support (requires build with proper fonts, plus a ligature elisp file) - font is JetBrains mono, see my GH repos for font pkgs - colours from @nordtheme used "everywhere": gnome terminal, emacs, rstudio (used sparingly these days)

_If_ you trial numbers are indeed unique, make it a factor and retrieve the factor levels. Or use @Rdatatable which does that for you via grouping and access to the group index. #rstats

The Economist built a model that estimates the excess mortality of the pandemic, corrected for underreporting. They come to the conclusion that 18 million people have died globally. We now show this data in our Explorer, along with uncertainty intervals: ourworldindata.org/explorers…

It's git. There are no rules. Only trial and error til we get there. And battle scars that remind us how we got there. Kidding. I love git, and yes it surely beats rsyncing between machines and messing up.

Yep because you can rebase, or squash, or simply cherry pick. It all varies. Some of my projects have more and smaller commits (and you may find 'temp' or 'snapshot' in the commit message -- per your need here). Others (i.e. work) squash.

Yes. Even better to just do suppressMessages({ library(splines) library(ggplot2) library(dplyt) ... }) as you then also catch non-conformant packages NOT using startup messages. This really silences *evreything* which is a nice feature.

These are sometimes called 'treemaps' and there is a package by that name. See r-graph-gallery.com/treemap.… for a demo.
