Wetlands and waters from the montane to marine, data science, reproducibility, isotopes, and climate change. Personal account; opinions my own.
For the project I'm currently working on, I'm just gonna go full {pak}. Definitely gonna checkout {rix} and {rv} in the future, though

Oh, so like older than what PPM archives? Yeah, that's rough because then it's just local caching, to the degree that's possible

Do you use the posit package manager (PPM) repo? I find using their pre-compilied binaries along with caching from BuildKit drastically increases my iteration speed.

Yesh. That might even be part of the issue. No matter what I do, renv and pak generate a conflict during the build phase due to some mismatch in environment variables, library locations, etc. Sad trombone

That's great, because I'm losing my mind trying to figure this out. May have to use it on another project, but good to have it in the toolbox

What about great_tables, which is the python version of gt: posit-dev.github.io/great-tables.... Full disclosure, never used tinytables, so I may be off base

Since you mentioned conda, curious about your opinions on pixi

I think that's all three in a single axiom

Are you?
October 1, 2025 at 2:08 PM
You should. You should make a package for that

I'm learning all kinds of new tricks. Thanks for the recs!

Cool package! It's a little awkward with the roxygen stuff inside the function, but I def get why they did that. Just means a lot of copy paste if/when converting to a package
