Ten days ago, I reported on a new deployment strategy for the InvenioRDM repository software. Using the Kamal deployment tool, I deployed both a staging instance of the Rogue Scholar service and a demo instance of the InvenioRDM Starter package.

Introduction A major update to ggplot2 (version 4.0.0) is expected around mid-to-late July 2025 .

When I read Andrej Karpathy’s endorsement of “context engineering” in a Twitter exchange with Shopify’s Tobi Lutke, I felt he tapped into something we all felt to some degree: tweet={"url":"https:\/\/twitter.com\/karpathy\/status\/1937902205765607626","author_name":"Andrej Karpathy","author_url":"https:\/\/twitter.com\/karpathy","html":"\u003Cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" align=\"center\"\u003E\u003Cp lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003E+1 for

Another nine compounds are found in at least 1-in-10 people. Because there is relevant data in the report on the 28 studied PFAS compound, I wanted to have the report more FAIR than it is on the website. Why this report?
