This first part of "Zero Gravity" was excellent. Strongly recommended. About Wayne. The music. His music. The bands. The times.
And happy (posthumous) birthday to Wayne Shorter, born ninety years ago today, and gone too sone earlier this year.

The depressing reality is that inside China, this very basic detail - that Chinese nuclear plants have released far more radiation into the sea - is unknown. Instead, the propaganda machine has v successfully whipped up anti-Japan anger and panic
If you’re worried about eating Japanese seafood because of the water release from Fukushima, then you’d better stop eating seafood from anywhere.

I got kiddo two to do her website in it (landing + research pages, pdf cv) and if she can do it (and I taught her sufficient git to do) so can you. Using github pages to serve, we used a custom eponomymous domain with it too as I own the domain. So no fear, go ahead in RStudio.

This is an important issue, and I just did a little part in getting the team closer to the goal of raising $250k. #rstats

I am starting to settle on "fast, easy, reliable" to describe the *magic* that is r2u with full and complete resolution of *all* system dependencies. Plus binaries from r-universe as an extra bonus for non CRAN binaries like rpolars. or tiledbsoma and cellxgene.census here.

The other *very important* aspect is that r2u wins big by giving you binaries right away--instead of wasting *billed* (!!) time on building from source. I still need to write a post on that in the CI/CD context: why run longer/slower jobs that will cost more or may hit a limit?

There is a finite but reasonably generous free layer of several hours per month at GitHub. At least for -- long-term fear with *all* cloud services is of course that they rope us in and squeeze us later. We shall see.
For now it is not bad and there edu discounts too.

Art Kane’s “Great Day in Harlem” photograph was taken on this day in 1958. “Jazz had been seen as a bunch of ghoulish characters that came up after it got dark, like Dracula… this picture showed jazz musicians to be people.” –S.R., to CBC Radio (2019) theguardian.com/music/galler…

This is from The Last Waltz concert on T’giving Day 1976.
No editing & no dubbing, just the raw sound as the concert goers heard it that night.
So sublime how they played with, not over, each other.

Pretty stunning to see the geographic uniformity of Issue 1's defeat, even compared to challenger GOP candidates. #OhioIssue1

Excited about @CZIscience news for #CZCellxGene Discover Census data into Seurat via @TileDB and the `tiledb`, `tiledbsoma` #rstats packages? How about doing it within seconds in the browser thanks to #r2u, r-universe, and #Rocker devcontainers.
Teaser below. More to follow.
