I prefer inline when my final output includes code + outputs (e.g. most of my college assignments!)
If it’s just outputs, I’ll typically use .R files (e.g. a kaggle competition or viz buzz!)
Personally, I think inherent in “notebook” style is inline outputs. But I recognize others disagree.

Currently, (because of the lack of inline output in positron quarto... it's a whole thing), I've been running julia in .ipynb files to good success!

Although Julia is not a native language like Python or R in Positron, I have had plenty of success running (very mediocre) Julia code in Positron!

Here’s a haiku I wrote a few weeks ago (very quickly I might add)
Why I still write code:
Would you skip to your deathbed?

Yeah I think that’s good. I will say it’s not a bad idea to remind students to make sure their usernames are respectful for class communication.

Just my opinion, but slack is more professional and I feel professors using discord can be too “hip”. That being said, if Discord is more of a chat board than the official class channel of communication (like using your website for posting announcements/assignments) then it’s all just vibes.

5. "'Jesus is my favorite hyper-entity' might make an amusing bumper sticker for Christian designer-philosophers."
If you've gotten this far, you'd likely enjoy the entire essay!

"...Safety is rather provided by a sufficiently strong safety loop. It's about how adaptable our civilization is."
4. "While just-in-time safety is scary, it's also been wildly successful through history."

3. "No-one knows in detail how ASI will be made safe. Many people find this scary and unacceptable. It is scary, for anyone knowledgeable and sensible. But safety in our civilization usually isn't something we see how to supply in detail in advance..." (continued on next)

1. "...the future is made by optimists: they're the people with the vision and drive to act."
2. "Can we imagine truly wonderful futures, insanely great futures, futures worth fighting for?"

Went and rewatched, between the Martinelli, Raya, and Schär injuries I personally feel 2 minutes was very reasonable.

Yeah just depends on whether you want a duckdb connection or not. I typically use duckdb::duckdb_read_csv(conn, name, files) for larger-than-memory and duckplyr::read_csv_duckdb(path) for in-memory.
(Yes the names are very confusing)
comment in response to

I am a HUGE fan of duckplyr’s read_csv_duckdb() which does not require a connection, can use glob patterns, and is hyper fast. I can then do some work with duckplyr, but I’ve often found it faster to switch straight to a tibble and use dplyr.
