Got my 100th issue in my github project this morning :) That's a #package developer milestone or something.
And of course it's you again @emacsomancer. Thanks for helping to improve the package!

#TIL there's something like #homebrew for #Windows called #choco and it's part of Chocolatey.org https://chocolatey.org/
i used it to install `filespy` for a psuedo-lsof tool to watch filesystem access on the wintendo. i survived the whole thing.

Handling missing data is a critical step in data analysis, as failing to address it properly can lead to biased results and reduced analytical power. The mice package for R, short for Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations, provides a robust and flexible framework for handling missing values through multiple imputation.

Interesting use of old tech yesterday...
I went out for a coffee without my phone (on Sundays we have a no-screens day), because I could use my Apple Watch to pay for it.
While out, I remembered I had a parcel to pick up from the Australia Post parcel lockers nearby on Bourke Street. But because I had no phone, I didn't have the pick-up code.
However, I noticed an old Telstra payphone across the street. Calls from those are free within Australia nowadays, so I phoned Narrelle and got her to read me the code. I recorded it by entering as a number in the calculator on my watch!
Then I picked up the parcel. 
Thanks, 20th century technology. :)
Persistent packages on Steam Deck using Nix: https://chrastecky.dev/gaming/persistent-packages-on-steam-deck-using-nix #linux #linuxgaming #update #foss #gaming #steamdeck #nix #package
chrastecky.dev · Persistent packages on Steam Deck using Nix | Blog by Dominik ChrásteckýThe Steam Deck (and SteamOS) delivers a fantastic console-like experience on a Linux system. However, its immutable filesystem means that installing packages that persist across system upgrades isn’t straightforward. Fortunately, with a little Nix magic, you can work around that limitation.

When performing multiple imputation of missing data, it is essential to evaluate how the imputed values compare to the observed data.
The attached image, created with the bwplot() function, showcases how the distributions of observed and imputed values vary across different imputations for multiple variables.
I’ll be hosting an 8-week online workshop on Missing Data Imputation in R: https://statisticsglobe.com/online-workshop-missing-data-imputation-r
When analyzing missing data, it is crucial to identify patterns and explore relationships between variables to ensure accurate and robust analysis.
For more information on the VIM package and its visualization tools, visit the official vignette here: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/VIM/vignettes/VIM.html
Join my 8-week online workshop on Missing Data Imputation in R, beginning February 20, in an exclusive group of just 15 participants.

Snap or Flatpak on Linux: Why You Might Want to Avoid Them
If you use Ubuntu or one of its derivatives, you have likely come across Snap or Flatpak as convenient package formats for installing software. While they offer certain advantages—such as simplified dependency handling and the ability to sandbox applications—there are compelling arguments for why you might want to avoid using them.

Buenas noches (desde el continente americano)!
Les comparto un paquete de Emacs que está siendo desarrollado por un miembro de la comunidad SystemCrafters (glenneth).
Es un cliente de Emacs para discourse. Recomiendo seguir las instrucciones manuales para su instalación (package-vc y use-package aún presentan algunos inconvenientes).

A #Debian's #deb #package is basically compressed tarballs in an uncompressed ar archive.
A #Conda (v2) package is basically compressed tarballs in an uncompressed zip archive.
A #Gentoo (#GPKG) package is basically compressed tarballs in an uncompressed tar archive.
Or, in boardroom meeting meme form:
Manager: "We need a container for compressed tarballs!"
The first person: "Ar!"
The second person: "Zip!"
Me: "Why not just a second tar?"

Minor news about #Xmoji: It's now featured on LinuxLinks.com 
https://www.linuxlinks.com/xmoji-plain-x11-emoji-keyboard/
On their comparison of #emoji pickers for #Linux, it ranks 4th: https://www.linuxlinks.com/best-free-open-source-gui-emoji-pickers/
My goal with Xmoji is to create the "best" emoji keyboard for plain #X11. Given the scope of this comparison (Linux, any GUI which of course includes #wayland ... 
), I'd claim I'm pretty much "on track" here. It certainly can't rank first, because:
- It's X11 only (by design!)
- There's not a single #package for any major Linux distribution.
Maybe you could help to "fix" the "package issue"? 
Packages currently exist for #FreeBSD and #NetBSD.
