Was there a data breach at @DataCamp recently? I got spam to an email account that was exclusively used with their site
@oliviachow @MayorOliviaChow I chatted with you today while you were putting on your skates, telling you that I personally know many Jews are afraid to walk around downtown Toronto. You assured me to "tell them not to worry". 30 min later there were Hamas support banners and
#rshiny bootstrap 5 users: what do you use to create a collapsible vertical navbar page? In bs3 we used {shinydashboard}, for bs4 we used {bs4Dash}, but they don't support bs5 and I can't find a matching function in {bslib}!
Big thank you to @varna for becoming the latest sponsor of #beautifuljekyll !! 🙏

⭐️ Single-Page Amazon Return Labels 🖨️
Every time I want to print an Amazon return label, I have to remove unnecessary text so that it will print on one page instead of 1.5 pages.
I got annoyed with doing that every time, so I made a Chrome/FF extension

Anybody have a good solution for a backing up Google Drive on another cloud service? I use Google Drive to store all my life, I don't mirror it to my desktop. I want an additional copy in case I acidentally delete/something gets messed up on GDrive.

27 votes • Final results#rstats question about CRAN mirror repos:
When installing a package and providing a `repos` param, I assumed it overrides `getOption("repos")`. But from testing, it seems that's not true, it looks like the R option still takes precedence.
Feels like a bug to me - why is this?
The way I tested this:
options(repos=c(CRAN="BADNAME.com"))
install.packages("vctrs", repos = "cloud.R-project.org")
I expected to immediately install from the correct repo, but instead I first get a warning about BADNAME. Why isn't it ignored?

What's your favourite AutoML package in #rstats? (Without having to use reticulate)
I never experimented with GitHub Copilot yet because it has no #RStudio support.
But I just went to sign up and it seems like I can get it for free, is this normal for anyone with open source work or should I consider myself lucky?
Did anybody in the #rstats world ever try to chain #rshiny gadgets?

@SpiritAirlines if you buy a TV, and 2 weeks before delivery the store tells you "we changed your order to a less desirable model, you can either accept that or pay us more money to cancel or pay us more to change it" would you accept that?
That's exactly what you're doing
R pkg install help! 🙏
When installing a local #rstats package and specifying a private CRAN-like repo:
install.packages(/path/to/tarball, repo = "file:///private/repo")
If the pkg contains "Remotes" how can I force these remotes to also be installed from the same repo?
1/2
For example: the pkg has a dependency that's on GitHub, so the Remotes DESCRIPTION section is used.
But in some instances I can provide a CRAN-like repo that includes the GitHub packages, so I want to "ignore" the Remotes section.
Is this possible?
