Hugo and PHP for building Websites
I built almost all my websites using PHP. Recently, I started to build simple HTML sites using Hugo, which was amazing. However, occasionally, I missed the flexibility of PHP for server side processing. I have tried to output PHP files instead of html files from Hugo but was not successful. Eventually, I resolved to make the change to the web server instead. Basically, one can change the setting of the server to parse .html files as php files. Several ways can be used. For example, one can use .htaccess with the following
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
One can also change the configure file to add the option for the directory.
Now, I can use Hugo together with PHP.
Quantify the impact of your R packages
Software development often takes a lot of time but its impact is often difficult to evaluate. If you have developed an R package and upload it to CRAN, you might be able to get some download information but not a lot.
Since R studio hosts the CRAN mirror, it keeps tracking the download statistics of the R packages installed from the RStudio mirror and therefore provides some useful information. It also provides an R package -cranlogs- to get the information within R. Certainly, the information is not incomplete but at least it provides the developers some ideas on how their packages are used.
For example, the code below is used to get the download information in the past month of an R package coefficientalpha I developed.
library(cranlogs)
cran_downloads('coefficientalpha', when='last-month')
