@obrl_soil Assuming you saw the Lua Development article in the Quarto docs and the resources it lists. Otherwise, there is custom-callout extension that maybe you can use or maybe get inspiration from his lua code along with other resources or maybe ask him some questions (he's on mastodon).

Custom Callout Extension – custom-callout

Anyone in #rstats #quartopub #quarto land know of any good instructional content about making custom callout blocks using Lua filters for absolute Lua noobs? I have a mighty need.

I'm glad these motions aren't passing but I'm now very distracted by the notion of an internet professional using the tile option to set their desktop background

Just ran across this on the Other Site - good info about and new approaches to #parallelisation in #RStats https://www.jottr.org/2022/12/05/avoid-detectcores/
Please Avoid detectCores() in your R Packages

The detectCores() function of the parallel package is probably one of the most used functions when it comes to setting the number of parallel workers to use in R. In this blog post, I’ll try to explain why using it is not always a good idea. Already now, I am going to make a bold request and ask you to: Please avoid using parallel::detectCores() in your package! By reading this blog post, I hope you become more aware of the different problems that arise from using detectCores() and how they might affect you and the users of your code.

I'm not an #introduction fan but I guess I should.

Hi, I'm Lauren, I do regional soils mapping in New Zealand after having done the same in Australia for many years. #Taranaki is my main beat atm, but I get around.

I try to position myself in the middle of the old-school #pedology/new-school #pedometrics space. Life is more interesting when *all* of my colleagues are angry at me 🙃

I'll mostly be shitposting about map stuff and #rstats here, and posting photos from my fieldwork adventures.
