00:08:34    Umair Durrani:  Start
00:16:29    Arthur Shaw:    @Diana Garcia Cortes, I spent a long time doing what you described (except for the conda part). But then I realized I still needed to share the environment with my future self. He always gets the short end of the stick.
00:17:00    Diana Garcia Cortes:    Reacted to "@Diana Garcia Cortes..." with ❤️
00:19:08    Arthur Shaw:    RTools = my arch nemesis for having others reproduce my R code on their machine
00:29:13    Umair Durrani:  Got to hop onto a different meeting, will catch up on the recording.

00:32:30    Arthur Shaw:    For the installation part with {renv}, aren't you supposed to use  renv::install("myPackage")  instead? Does  install.packages("myPackage")  also work?
00:33:17    Josh Persi: Replying to "For the installation..."

I've had no issues with install.packages and then renv::snapshot() to add them to the lock file

00:33:35    Josh Persi: Replying to "For the installation..."

I'm guessing renv::install() just adds it to the lockfile without the need for snapshot

00:34:03    Arthur Shaw:    Replying to "For the installation..."

I think it also installs in the project library. I could be wrong.
00:34:26    Josh Persi: Replying to "For the installation..."

That'd make sense!
00:38:59    Arthur Shaw:    VSCode's clippy ;)
00:47:29    Arthur Shaw:    For Nix, confusingly, you write in Nix (programming language)
00:47:51    patrick kilduff (he/him):   Lots of rix/nix blogposts here: https://brodrigues.co/
00:47:52    Arthur Shaw:    From what little I understand, Nix is a functional programming language and a package manager
00:48:55    Arthur Shaw:    Replying to "From what little I u..."

And an OS too
00:50:28    Josh Persi: I got to run, but thanks for the discussion everyone! See you next week!

00:52:05    Arthur Shaw:    devbox is much more approachable

00:55:38    Arthur Shaw:    Would devcontainer do what we need? Never been really how how devcontainer relates to container engines like Docker or Podman
01:08:38    patrick kilduff (he/him):   I have to drop, thanks all! See you all next week 😎
