Collin Berke (@collinberke.bsky.social; 11/2/3; 2025-04-30): Note to self: if you want to use inline #rstats code in a reveal-js #quarto presentation without any other R code chunks, make sure to specify engine: knitr in your YAML. This took me too long to figure out.
This was helpful: stackoverflow.com/questions/78… โช
Jason Gantenberg (@jrgant.bsky.social; 1/1/1; 2025-05-01): Hey #rstats, is it safe to use DT::datatable() in package vignettes to export a paged HTML table?
I’m using quarto as the vignette engine, and the docs say that it uses embed-resources: true by default. So… seems safe to me?
(I will use a switch to output via knitr for the PDF versions.) โช

Yihui Xie (@yihui.org; 6/2/1; 2025-04-27): eval(parse()) is neither secure nor robust. If you know variable names, you should get()/mget() them, e.g.,
mget(nasdaq100_symbols) |>
lapply([, 6) |>
as.data.frame()
However, when you have to use mget() to process data, you may have to rethink your data structure: yihui.org/en/2023/04/g… โช

- set a time limit
- run #knitr with timeout in chunk
- open a new plot afterwards
