The ASA statistical computing section invited me to do a webinar today
(1:30-2:30pm CST). You can see the abstract on the registration
page.
To some degree, it will be an odd talk, because I’m “going backwards” to talk
about the first generation of R Markdown. I don’t expect this talk to benefit a
large audience, but I think I have got at least one interesting application in
the end. The talk will be quite technical (i.e., boring). Please try to come
half an hour late if you want to come anyway.
The talk has been recorded and is available on
YouTube. The slides are available
here.
Donate
As a freelancer (currently working as a contractor) and a dad of three kids, I truly appreciate your donation to support my writing and open-source software development! Your contribution helps me cope with financial uncertainty better, so I can spend more time on producing high-quality content and software. You can make a donation through methods below.
When sending money, please be sure to add a note “gift” or “donation” if possible, so it won’t be treated as my taxable income but a genuine gift. Needless to say, donation is completely voluntary and I appreciate any amount you can give.
Please feel free to email me if you prefer a different way to give. Thank you very much!
I’ll give back a significant portion of the donations to the open-source community and charities. For the record, I received about $30,000 in total (before tax) in 2024-25, and gave back about $15,000 (after tax).
