the one thing Fahrenheit has going for it is that the space between degrees is smaller and a human can feel them. In Celsius we have to use decimals for this.

If you're using Posit (npub1e58…ey66)'s r-lib/actions/setup-r and {pak} (or even if not using {pak} you might switch for this), set `use-public-rspm: true` for your Ubuntu runners on GitHub actions. Took a ~20 minute job down to ~8 by installing binaries, e.g., https://github.com/AAGI-AUS/AAGIQuarto/blob/af32781a3b18eac9216b225b90f9afef524310c3/.github/workflows/publish.yml#L30. #RStats #GitHub #CI

Any #JuliaLang users that can help? I'm trying to pull together citations for packages that a package that we've written uses. The package is a modelling framework that I'm currently writing up for publication. I tried using PkgCite.jl but it doesn't seem to work within the package even if I activate that environment.

Is there something I'm missing or a better way?

I'm not sure that there's many folks out there that really care aside from me and maybe one or two others, but I'm nearing the end of a 10+ year effort to simplify and improve an #RStats package for a model, EPIRICE, that I used when I was working at the International Rice Research Center (IRRI) to model and map rice disease severity.

I am pasting a URL that begins with "https://"; to me that's not a feature that I have to hit space or enter. It does nothing to solve this issue you're highlighting. It still makes a link that's not plain text but I have to take an extra step. If it were just plain text and only plain text no matter what, then I agree with your assertion.
