Another useful tip is to use quarto's `panel-tabset` to present a code window and solution in a pair of tabs. Students can evaluate their code, check the solution if necessary, and return to repair their own work. I usually structure their code box with comments/headings/tips to keep them moving.

Not a full quants module, but I’m using quarto-webR for labs in labour economics and it’s been a joy. All the benefits of RStudio Cloud with zero costs, simple UI, perfect for combining live code cells and explanatory text/exercises in quarto pages, host on GitHub pages: github.com/coatless/qua...

What is the difference between favouriting, pinning and importing a feed?

A long overdue reckoning is underway. I'll check on progress in 5 years time -- where, out of power, I expect The Spectator (and the Tories) will have re-discovered the benefits of the single market long before Labour gets there.

* Redwood was characteristically bitter despite having won, and his appeals to conspiracy are tiresome;
* Grant was calm and well informed -- which drew more stunned silence than rebuttal;
* Villiers has never been of this world so I won't waste my 300 characters.

I'll reply to myself.
* The pitch of Elliott's voice rose in proportion to the desperation of his claims;
* Cavendish made reasonable arguments but any appeal to sympathy for FoM for arts/culture is, ironically, misplaced as the UK prepares to enter another culture war election;
