@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

intifada chants in the exact same spot we were talking. I respectfully ask you to keep in mind that Jews here legitimately feel threatened and are constantly harrassed. Please rememebr that. I would also like to personally invite you to a quiet peaceful event, if you would DM me

#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}!

⭐️ 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.

#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?

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?
Running into issues such as stackoverflow.com/questions/… and github.com/rstudio/shiny/iss…

@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

I bought tickets for a flight. 2 weeks before departure you told me the schedule changed. Every support agent is telling me that if I want to move back to my original flight time, I need to pay more money. Or I can cancel, but pay money for that too.
Do you not see the issue?

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?

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?
