@peppe Actually, (almost) every #FreeBSD #port should also be available as a binary #package. When one is missing, this typically indicates a build failure on the latest bulk run. Trying to build it yourself won't help here unless there was a fix committed to the ports tree meanwhile, in which case the package will also "reappear" within few days.

@mrkaran Great insights & a pleasure to read. I have used #nixos as my main machine for a few years & its main advantage is that it won't let me mess it up because I do not install anything other than via the configuration.nix. Your post has given me a view on how to use it properly.
My big question: how can one #package something to get it into the nixOS search.nixos.org/packages
? I am happy to do the work but no micro step by step guide seems available. I am thinking of #reticulum #meshchat

#statstab #304 {MRCV} Methods for Analyzing Multiple Response Categorical Variables (MRCVs)

Thoughts: These are some of the trickier types of data, but maybe not hopeless for analysis.

cran.r-project.orgMRCV: Methods for Analyzing Multiple Response Categorical Variables (MRCVs)Provides functions for analyzing the association between one single response categorical variable (SRCV) and one multiple response categorical variable (MRCV), or between two or three MRCVs. A modified Pearson chi-square statistic can be used to test for marginal independence for the one or two MRCV case, or a more general loglinear modeling approach can be used to examine various other structures of association for the two or three MRCV case. Bootstrap- and asymptotic-based standardized residuals and model-predicted odds ratios are available, in addition to other descriptive information. Statisical methods implemented are described in Bilder et al.

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. :)
