I hope this workflow helps you as much as it helped me and several people i showed it too - If you want please tweet this article. And also feel free to hit me up on twitter if you have any further questions or suggestions how to improve my workflow: @andreasklinger
Like many folks who use R, RMarkdown and related products a lot, I was excited about the blogdown package and used it to build my website with Hugo. Also as many did, I used the Wowchemy (back then called Academic) theme. I wrote about that setup here.
I structured the new website to be as similar to my old as possible. For me, that meant folders and subfolders for posts, presentations and projects, and all other files (e.g. about.qmd) in the top level.
Note that while I have posts and presentations separately, and under the old setup those pages were somewhat different, with Quarto there is (currently) no separate styling for presentations, thus it is basically another collection of posts. Only in this case, each post just contains the basic information of the presentation and a link to the slides and other relevant material. The same is true for the projects, they follow again the same structure as the posts, just somewhat differently formatted.
The main file for setting configurations is the _quarto.yml file. Additional configurations can be done in _metadata.yml inside the posts and presentations folders. I followed a mix of the Quarto documentation and the blog posts mentioned above and below to configure those files. You can check out my setup on the GitHub repo of this page.
I used utterances before to allow folks to comment on certain sites. This can be done easily as explained in this Quarto documentation section. To prevent comments on certain pages, one can turn those off in the YAML, also also described on the Quarto documentation page. An alternative is to place the utterances information into the _metadata.yml files, which then means comments are only on for those specific files/folders, in my case the blog posts and the presentations.
Update 2023-01-09: At the end of 2022, I decided to stop doing my newsletter for the time being and turned off the newsletter subscription section. Leaving this here since it might still be of general interest to figure out how to embed HTML.
On my previous website, I had several sections (widgets) on the main page under the static welcome text. Those showed my Twitter feed and most recent posts and presentations. I was trying to see if I can reproduce that with Quarto. Based on this example it seems one could do something like that. I contemplated giving it a try. But then I decided to keep it simple, and let interested readers klick on my Twitter/Posts/Presentations sections if they want. No need to complicate things ?.
Andreas was educated at Harvard, and his Ph.D. thesis was supervised by John Rawls and Robert Nozick. He came to Brandeis from the University of Washington and taught Philosophy here from 1985 - 2020.
Andreas was usually on a year-round teaching schedule. Once finals were done at Brandeis, he was off to the Harvard Extension School, where he regularly taught all summer (and - no surprise - he typically had the largest enrollments).
Many of his conversations were little improvised performance pieces. So too with his emails - which many of you who served on committees with him may have received. An alum reminiscing about him told me about getting a very long email - formatted like a complex piece of verse - explaining why she could not get a penalty-free extension on a paper. I suspect that in the end, the student did get some kind of extension because Andreas did not have it in him to deny a student the opportunity to philosophize, and maybe: to shine. For Andreas, the point of teaching philosophy was to provoke philosophizing; the Socratic ideal.
The IFRS Foundation is a not-for-profit, public interest organisation established to develop high-quality, understandable, enforceable and globally accepted accounting and sustainability disclosure standards.
IFRS Sustainability Standards are developed to enhance investor-company dialogue so that investors receive decision-useful, globally comparable sustainability-related disclosures that meet their information needs. The ISSB is supported by technical staff and a range of advisory bodies.
Global standards mean that companies can operate in multiple jurisdictions without preparing multiple reports. Companies save money on reporting and on training of staff, and engage more efficiently with investors.
All this matters because better information enables better decisions. Financial markets provide finance to the economy, facilitate the allocation of capital, connect economies, support growth and contribute to financial stability. Well-functioning markets matter to us all.
The people helping to form the IASC were united in a vision of the world in which similar transactions would be accounted for in a similar manner no matter where it took place[2]. The initiative responded to the growing internationalisation of capital markets after the Second World War.
National standard-setters were involved from the very early days as important partners first with the IASC and later with the IASB. Having a forum for NSS has been important from the beginning. Hence this annual conference, which is the 22nd World Standard-setters Conference.
If somebody sat with a crystal ball 50 years ago, trying to predict the future, they may not have expected us to be where we are today. It has required concerted efforts over time by a lot of people all over the world.
We need to protect what we have collectively achieved, by continuing working together to ensure requirements capture market developments and ensuring the standards are used in a consistent manner globally.
Before I talk about specific technical projects, I would like to discuss the importance of consistent application of our Accounting Standards and the key role national standard-setters plays in this context.
The full benefits of a global set of standards can only be realised if those Standards are applied consistently by companies around the world. While a huge amount of effort goes into ensuring the Standards are understandable and translatable, it is impossible to avoid questions arising about how to apply the requirements in practice.
Supporting consistent application is an important part of our work. The IFRS Interpretations Committee helps us foster consistency. The Committee is chaired by my colleague Bruce Mackenzie and comprises individuals from various jurisdictions with varied experience in applying our Standards.
We sometimes hear from stakeholders that we have replaced Interpretations with agenda decisions. That is clearly not the case. When changes to the Standards are needed, our solution is normally narrow-scope standard-setting because we have found that more efficient in supporting consistent application of our Standards than issuing Interpretations. So rather than having an Interpretation explain how a troublesome paragraph should be read, we fix the troublesome paragraph in the standard itself. This improves the understandability of our standards without adding further complexity.
We expect to issue the new Standard in the second quarter next year. National standard-setters will again play a vital role in supporting the implementation effort. In July we decided that the effective date would be 2027, to allow all our stakeholders enough preparation time.
Before I close, I would like to talk briefly about reviews of our Standards. We are now in a wave of Post-implementation Reviews. These reviews are an important part of our due process. They are our way of checking that the Standards do the job they were created to do. Stakeholder feedback is thus critical in informing our assessment. National standard-setters play a particularly important role. Again, as our eyes and ears on the ground.

Here, we discuss questions of climate militancy, the validity of counterposing mass climate movements to seemingly more radical liberation struggles, and whether state sovereignty is necessary to combat fossil capital. The interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.
After the Third Police Precinct was burned down, there was a poll done and something like 54 percent of Americans were in favor of the torching of the precinct, which definitely challenges the myth that political violence always scares people off.

I left a disappointing meeting with a state senator and let the Lyft driver know that I was okay, but might need to cry. He turned around and said let it out. It just means that your being held by your higher power (or whoever you believe in). Of course then I sobbed both frustrated and enlightened. I just keep Kleenex with me so emotions can flow. It is freeing and beautiful.
Thank you for this offering! First thing I did after reading it was sent it to my 25 and 21 year old kids who struggle with the fact that I live with metastatic breast cancer and always hide their tears from me. What if we could all be avacados together??
