> **Frederik Aust** (@FrederikAust; 3/2): @page_gould @MPapenberg An alternative approach that I prefer is to use knitr's ability to cache computations automatically (https://t.co/wPigsT253f).  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1027876823940714496)

> **Frederik Aust** (@FrederikAust; 3/0): @chbergma Yes, both good points. I also often split my R Markdown files into multiple documents. I prefer using knitr's caching over saving and loading environments (https://t.co/wPigsT253f).  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1027914236876521473)

> **Frederik Aust** (@FrederikAust; 2/0): @MPapenberg That's a good point. I usually have lengthy data wrangling code in external scripts or R Markdown files that I include as children (https://t.co/AmMBnRm6Wk).  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1027876472063713280)

> **Frederik Aust** (@FrederikAust; 1/0): @page_gould @MPapenberg I have only learned recently that this seems to be a lesser known feature of knitr. https://t.co/4Kf421WNaJ  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1027880738614648832)

> **Frederik Aust** (@FrederikAust; 1/0): @MPapenberg Well, I'd think you could set relative paths in this situation, no? In any case, if you really need to change the root directory you should use the knitr option root.dir (https://t.co/STM3Ixj1xl).  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1027876062020202496)

# xaringan

Sometimes it is nice to be "old" especially when it affords you the chance to use a karate kid picture AND quote AND it 100% ties to what you are speaking about.

Also xaringan is pure FIRE https://t.co/eXBydWNFcT  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1027929464666316806)
