While the future of Bluesky is nowhere near certain, it is most certainly growing. It’s also the largest community of users for the AT Protocol. Folks are using Bluesky much the same way as any online forum/chat. One of those ways is to share URLs to content. For the moment, ... Read More

HTTP Headers Hashing (HHHash) is a technique developed by Alexandre Dulaunoy to generate a fingerprint of an HTTP server based on the headers it returns. It employs one-way hashing to generate a hash value from the list of header keys returned by the server. The HHHash value is calculated by ... Read More

Lynn (of TITAA and general NLP wizardy fame) was gracious enough to lend me a Bluesky invite, so I could claim my handle on yet-another social media site. I’m still wary of it (as noted in one of this week’s Drops), but the AT protocol — whilst super (lacking a better ... Read More

Back in 2016, I did a post on {ggplot2} text annotations because it was a tad more challenging to do some of the things in that post back in the day. Since I’ve been moving back and forth between R and Observable (and JavaScript in general), I decided to recreate ... Read More

See it live before reading! The previous post brought lit-webr, to introduce Lit and basic reactivity. Today, is more of the same, but we bring the OG Shiny demo plot into the modern age by using Observbable Plot to make the charts. We’re still pulling data from R, but we’re ... Read More

See it live before reading! This is a Lit + WebR reproduction of the OG Shiny Demo App Lit is a javascript library that makes it a bit easier to work with Web Components, and is especially well-suited in reactive environments. My recent hack-y WebR experiments have been using Reef ... Read More

After writing the initial version of a tutorial on wrapping and binding R functions on the javascript side of WebR, I had a number of other WebR projects on the TODO list. But, I stuck around noodling on the whole “wrapping & binding” thing, and it dawned on me that ... Read More
