I am still unsure how best to use org-journal. I already use a “diary” file where I bookmark important stages of my working day. This way, I get a nice summary with org-agenda. Obviously, I could do exactly the same using org-journal, but I was thinking that it could also be used to record my posts on the main site: (1) I would be writing using Org mode directly, (2) I would get a searchable archive from Emacs directly (and more convenient than deft), and (3) that would be just cool. #emacs

How to delete empty lines in a file by Emacs? Useful to clean up an HTML page with lot of extra blank lines. #emacs

This moment when you realize that you are stuck with Java 8 on your OS… Two options: use Homebrew (brew cask install java) or proceed manually. I think I will love bioinformatics tools.

It’s been a while since I haven’t run any ML model using caret, especially since Max Kuhn engaged in the RStudio team to develop a brand new ML pipeline in the name of the tidy new wave: tidymodels, then parsnip (slides near here). Anyway, here is a good tutorial if you want to get started with caret. (via @R_Programming) #rstats

And we are finally done with The 100. Looking forward to looking to The Expanse during winter holidays.

When you insist on your CLI-based workflow (reproducibility, text-based, etc. you know…) and you realize that Stata 13 does not recognize graph export with a PDF backend (while Stata 15 does) from a Terminal. Back to Encapsulated PostScript then, like in the 90s! #stata

While I appreciate that there are so useful Docker images available, I think I will need to build a more lightweight one if I want to stay on CircleCI free plan. Hopefully, it looks like someone already had the same idea. #rstats

Statistical Thinking for the 21st Century. #rstats

Emacs build-status: a nice package that allows to monitor build on Travis or CircleCI. #emacs
