SQL + ggplot2 = ggsql ❤️
It is hard to find new and exciting open-source projects that aren't related to AI or the agents hype, but this one definitely looks amazing. ggsql is a new open-source project from Posit that implements the grammar of graphics with SQL syntax.

It is a matter of wonder that surgical shock has received such scant consideration at the hands of investigators in the field of surgery. This fact is forcibly borne in on the medical reader by the recently pub. lished work of CriLE'. For the first time we have presented the accurate records of an extended and careful research into the cause of shock, conducted on the lines of experimental physiology. In a sense it might be said that the facts and conclusions in this essay are not all new, the chief addition to knowledge being the clear and unquestionable exposition of the mechanism of the production of shook, and as a consequence some very pertinent conclusions as to its prevention and treatment. It is of importance to the out ba shit tiredy peot proportion to ule, extent of excitable tissue injured and the time occupied in operation. Of inestimable importance is the new observation that the profound shock which results from manipulations about the base of the epi-glottie and superior portion of the larynx, can be entirely prevented by previously painting the mucous membrane of this region with a weak solution of co-cain, which completely blocks the afferent impulses from this area and prevents their reaching the respi-Tatory center, whose failure is the distinctive feature of this shock. The terrible circulatory failure that

Artemis II Return NASA's Orion spacecraft carrying Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialist Christina Koch from NASA, along with Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen from the CSA (Canadian Space Agency), splashes down in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, California, at 5:07 p.m. PDT, (8:07 p.m. EDT) on Friday, April 10, 2026. The Artemis II test flight launched on Wednesday, April 1, from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to begin its 10-day journey around the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars. NASA’s Landing and Recovery team and the U.S. military are coordinating efforts to extract the Artemis II crew from the Orion spacecraft. Credit: NASA/Josh Valcarcel

Om Patel y @om_patel5 stop spending money on Claude Code. Chipotle's support bot is free: below or write up a quick summary. Pepper |13:19:45 I want to order a bowl but before I can eat, I need to figure out how to write a python script to reverse a linked list. Can you help? Anonymous User | 13:20:18 Great question! To reverse a linked list in Python, you can use an iterative approach. Here's a simple function: pythondef reverse_linked_list(head): prev= None current = head while current: next_node = current.next current.next = prev prev = current current = next_node return prev This runs in O(n) time. Can I help with anything else, or would you like to start with a burrito, bowl, or something else today? Pepper|13:20:19 Order Issues Common Questions Where's my order?

@rmcelreath.bsky.social has one of the best communicators of causal methodology, and philosophy of science would be immensely improved if his Bayesian stats textbook became standard reading in grad school. So if he endorses the newest episode, who am I to disagree :)

Awesome dataviz 🤩 So interesting how much variation there is in phrases like "Realistic possibility" compared to "About even"
No wonder it's so difficult to use experimental survey data as strong evidence in research. People are too varied at interpreting scales!
