# blogdown

**Ben Harrap** (@bharrap.bsky.social; 34/2/3; 2024-12-16): Hugo/blogdown got too janky to maintain so I migrated my website to a Quarto blog.

I wrote a blog post in case anyone else finds themselves doing the same. It covers:

- keeping the same URLs
- Rmd to qmd
- tweaking the home page
- fonts
- coffee

**Ming Tommy Tang** (@tommytang.bsky.social; 0/1/0; 2024-12-16): 5️⃣ Use Tools like ‘blogdown’

For R users, the blogdown package is a game-changer for creating sleek websites. 
Bonus: It renders your R/Python code beautifully into HTML!  [&#8618;](https://bsky.app/profile/tommytang.bsky.social/post/3ldgkwutpvx2j)

# bookdown

**Chris Adams** (@chrisadamsecon.bsky.social; 27/0/3; 2024-12-20): I have created a bookdown version of the first edition of Learning Microeconometrics with R (CRC Press). I have converted Sweave to Quarto to create the bookdown and then published it on bookdown.org. Any suggestions for the Second Edition, DM me.  #econsky #rstats sites.google.com/view/microec...

# knitr

**Andrew Goldstone** (@agoldst.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy; 0/0/1; 2024-12-18): love to see congressional committees using #rstats and LaTeX (and presumably knitr or rmarkdown): longtable printed in Computer Modern is a dead giveaway. Speaking of dead giveaways, looks like insurance companies believe in climate change […]

**Tyler Morgan-Wall** (@tylermorganwall.bsky.social; 29/1/2; 2024-12-14): 😭 Nooo! You have to track sample probabilities and use multiple importance sampling to balance BRDFs, lights, and environment maps for unbiased convergence, or your rendering will be biased AND noisy!

🤪 haha denoising makes renderer go brrr

**Noah Greifer** (@noahgreifer.bsky.social; 20/2/2; 2024-12-14): If you have an issue where Dropbox is constantly syncing while @posit.co #RStudio is open, one solution is to run the following code in Terminal:

find "Dropbox" -type d -name ".Rproj.user" -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d $'\0' folder; do xattr -w com.dropbox.ignored 1 "$folder"; done

# tinytex

**Grant McDermott** (@gmcd.bsky.social; 2/1/0; 2024-12-17): Ironically, I originally called it `plot2` but then a bunch of people pointed out (correctly I think) that this would create confusion and probably annoy the ggplot2 devs.🙃

I don't think it needs to be a loaded term, though. Vincent had just released `tinytable` and I was inspired by `tinytex` too.  [&#8618;](https://bsky.app/profile/gmcd.bsky.social/post/3ldjgthndrc2c)

**Євген Єбобленко** (@eboblya.bsky.social; 2/1/0; 2024-12-06): We rely a lot on Rmarkdown/Quarto + pandoc + tinytex setup. 
Quite easy to configure on Linux/macOS, can be used on Windows through WSL (probably also doable on Windows without WSL, but Windows sucks so much).  [&#8618;](https://bsky.app/profile/eboblya.bsky.social/post/3lcn5tzgv3c26)

**retigi.bsky.social** (@retigi.bsky.social; 0/0/0; 2024-12-22): I would recommend considering #tinytex instead of those insanely bulky #texlive or #miktex. You can simply copy #tinytex to a folder, set the system path and then you can start using #lyx with it.  [&#8618;](https://bsky.app/profile/retigi.bsky.social/post/3ldup3m6wu22v)
