Playing with adding + operator for easily joining geojson objects together into a single valid geojson object. This is relatively easy with lists, but not so easy with json unless you speak json.

Get lawn package too for viewing data

number headers in Google Docs
// PROBLEM: in Google Documents, sometimes you want numbered headings, but the UI makes you a new list each time.
// INSIGHT: it's possible, but you have to script it.
// SOLUTION: this script adds OL+LI to Hs, all using the same listID
// DOWNLOAD: get the latest version of this gist from https://gist.github.com/mengwong/f597d064366f555b5f4e
// INSTALL: Go to Tools / Editor. Paste this in. Hit save. You can run it by pressing the "play" button, or from the Add-Ons menu.
//
// USAGE:
// REQUIRED: Define all your headings as actual headings and not just big bold Normal. Come on, people, learn to use paragraph styles already.
// OPTIONAL: Manually make the first H1 in the document a numbered list. We'll use that as a reference heading for all the others.
// OPTIONAL: Manually set the list style to "Decimal Outline" (the style that has 1.1.2 type numbering) ... I like this best.

Firefox about:config privacy settings

ABOUT

about:config settings to harden the Firefox browser. Privacy and performance enhancements.
To change these settings type 'about:config' in the url bar. Then search the setting you would like to change and modify the value. Some settings may break certain websites from functioning and rendering normally. Some settings may also make firefox unstable. I am not liable for any damages/loss of data.

Not all these changes are necessary and will be dependent upon your usage and hardware. Do some research on settings if you don't understand what they do. These settings are best combined with your standard privacy extensions (HTTPS Everywhere No longer required: Enable HTTPS-Only Mode, NoScript/Request Policy, uBlock origin, agent spoofing, Privacy Badger etc), and all plugins set to "Ask To Activate".

This hit #rstats today:

Has anyone made a dumbbell dot plot in #rstats, or better yet exported to @plotlygraphs using the API? https://t.co/rWUSpH1rRl

So, I figured it was worth a cpl mins to reproduce.

While the US gov did give the data behind the chart it was all the data and a pain to work with so I used WebPlotDigitizer to transcribe the points and then some data wrangling in R to clean it up and make it work well with ggplot2.

It is possible to make the top "dumbbell" legend in ggplot2 (but not by using a guide) and color the "All Metro A

Getting Started in Scala

This is my attempt to give Scala newcomers a quick-and-easy rundown to the prerequisite steps they need to a) try Scala, and b) get a standard project up and running on their machine. I'm not going to talk about the language at all; there are plenty of better resources a google search away. This is just focused on the prerequisite tooling and machine setup. I will not be assuming you have any background in JVM languages. So if you're coming from Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Haskell, or anywhere…  I hope to present the information you need without assuming anything.

Disclaimer It has been over a decade since I was new to Scala, and when I was new to Scala, I was coming from a Java and Ruby background. This has probably caused me to unknowingly make some assumptions. Please feel free to call me out in comments/tweets!

One assumption I'm knowingly making is that you're on a Unix-like platform. Sorry, Windows users.

Use custom local image files as icons in a Shiny Dashboard value box
#
# This Shiny web application demonstrates the use of custom image files
# in place of icons for value boxes in Shiny Dashboard by overriding two
# functions:
#
# 'icon' from the shiny package and 'valueBox' from the shinydashboard package.
#
# Each function adds minimal, specific additional handling of image files.
# Note: A custom css file must also be included so that value boxes can
# display the icons. For that reason, do not expect images in place of icons to
