For those using #Quarto to create academic papers, I found out today there's an extension that greatly simplifies adding multiple author affiliations:

Can't recommend highly enough.

I've mentally started to charge myself $1 each time I've had to Google coding stuff about ggplot2 aesthetics.

Today's charges: $20.

Someone might come with a clever analogy between this video and reviewer 2 in an academic context, but hey, it's not gonna be me.
Let's just enjoy this work of art.

You realize you forgot to commit all the fixes in your code.
You think twice and believe you did commit.
You check again and realize that yes, you didn't commit.

I had the honor of attending this conference last year. It's one of the best memories I have from my time as a PhD student.

Is a reduction in multitasking a sign of aging? Asking for a friend that could do 4 diff things in a day and now seems to need a warmup period every day to do just one task.

In other news, I watched a video today about someone from Québec saying that to make ceviche you need to use coconut milk.

I literally gasped.

I wasn't prepared for the amount of mixed emotions I felt upon seeing "Encarta" as a reference in an article in Wikipedia.

Talk about things that REALLY makes you feel old.

So now we only get 5 Tweets a day? Hahahahahaha #theendisnigh

Sometimes coding is done best with a post-punk soundtrack.

So it seems ads are back at it on Twitter.

Has anybody purchased *used* books from the US and have them sent via mail to Canada (like abebooks or ebay)? Any problems with customs?

Seems we're back to the regular "academics fighting about the same things" schedule in #SciTwitter.
This week it was about peer review in my feed (someone ranting about Prism also but whatevs).
Can't wait for "R vs Python vs Stata" week

In this 1000 word assay I argue that...

And in typical fashion, I forgot an "à"

Me seeing my LaTeX doc fail to compile for the 100th time after fixing 99 errors.

The earliest mantis fossils are about 135 million years old. This one was found preserved in Dominican amber and it's from the Oligocene which means it's from 33.9 to 23 million years old

Et 6 mois après, je suis @CRM_Montreal. Enfin!

Thankful for the CV I keep with all my papers and conferences presentations with their URLs, because it saved me at least 40 min of work this morning when filling a CCV.

Still trying to find a copy of this book these days (mine died in the great 2022 purge).
