Not sure how many scientists here have tried Claude Code or similar command line coding assistants. I had a complicated family property tax problem that was best solved by a brute force Monte Carlo simulation approach, so I spent a few days coding up and analyzing a model with Claude Code.

RAIN!-just stood out in it bc HEAVENLY but also to sniff that delicious scent from the parched ground-petrichor.
The scent of petrichor consists of geosmin, a molecule released by bacteria & blue-green algae in the soil &plant oils (phytoncides) released when rain hits leaves.

Mastering typefaces and fonts in #rstats has always been harder than it should.
I have tried to collect much of my relevant knowledge in this deep-dive blog post so you can spend your time picking the right typeface instead of cursing at the computer

Fonts in R
Taking control of fonts and text rendering in R can be challenging. This deep-dive teaches you everything (and then some) you need to know to keep your sanity

Sheep and goats both belong to taxonomic Family 'Bovidae', with sheep in genus 'Ovis' and goats in genus 'Capra'. The two are often raised together on farms.
And very, very rarely, they can interbreed to produce hybrids called GEEP, as in Butterfly (shown), born 2014.
