The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

I am on a train en route to the U.S.A. National Science Foundation (NSF).

And it is a mess from a federal government standpoint. 1/n

I was tagged the other day by someone kindly sharing my Python Rgonomics post and realized that my thesis of "tooling keeps improving" held up too well and some of the recos have changed

Hence, here's the 2025 update: https://www.emilyriederer.com/post/py-rgo-2025/

Now feat uv (vs pyenv, pdm) and Positron

Anyone here use Cloudflare free tier for domain name registration (for personal websites)? I've had a good experience with Namecheap but their renewal costs keep climbing, and I'm trying to figure out if there's a good reason not to switch

@jimjamslam Congratulations!! 💒

Cannot wait to read that one

@cscheid similarly I wrote it so I’d remember it for next time 😂

@noamross.net The fact that I had to contribute to AI training data (for Captcha) just to fill out my Congressman's contact form just about sums it all up...

@jimjamslam Oh would love to hear how you've used forms and functions w Quarto!

@mario_angst_sci excited to read!

@gvwilson Can't directly respond to the ask as I have regrettably little experience with impactful things, but I love the idea of this

A common question I've seen from
folks using Quarto is how to gate content or protect a site behind a login

Just wrote a short tech note on my blog about my recent experience using Netlify Identity for this

https://www.emilyriederer.com/post/quarto-auth-netlify/

@danwwilson Always! I found that these were a great place not only to document package internal but also to use vignettes to document a ton of business context and background. Tended to be a good spot where the context stayed with the tool over time

We have GitHub Enterprise so I was able to just host with GitHub Pages

I posted yesterday about hosting a static Quarto site behind login. Just got this set up with Netlify Identity and it was far less painful that I suspected #rstats

@mario_angst_sci @fmic_ @danwwilson

Beautiful! So many security features. Using AI to solve the most pressing problems of our time

@fmic_ @danwwilson @mario_angst_sci Or: “Shout your password at your computer and we use text to voice to capture it! Much more secure than risking someone intercepting your keyboard strokes”

@dgkeyes Thank you so much for this! It's so validating that I'm not just being stupid that the Netlify / Cloudflare solutions aren't as out-of-the-box as it feels like they should be, and this broader survey is awesome. Super excited about Octoauthent tho! That looks by far closest to the vision

@danwwilson @mario_angst_sci @fmic_

The pitch: "We use AI for highly performant and accurate authentication!"

The AI: "Hey ChatGPT, is 'password$tring!' the same string as 'password$tring!'?"

@fmic_ @danwwilson counteroffer: want to start a startup with me and solve it 😂 apparently an easy problem with perplexing few white glove solutions

Any favorite sites for hosting a simple static site behind a login (where service manages logins and I don’t have to)?

Netlify Pro comes close with password protected sites but that only uses one global password

I know there are plenty of ways to set this up yourself, but need a fast, bulletproof, and low-touch solution more than optimizing for cost

TIL that @posit_pbc
and @huggingface
partnered over a year ago on making HF another great option for deploying python/#rstats Shiny apps

Another super friendly git-based deployment option with rich free tier for those tinkering
