Features or data?

Feels like Bluesky is starting to cook.

Who’s got some amazing and beautiful shiny apps to share? I need to convince someone that they don’t all look the same. #rstats

Yikes! Especially after it was a grant funded excavation.

“The Melsonby hoard has been valued at £254,000 and a fundraising campaign to secure it for the nation will be launched by the Yorkshire Museum in York.”

What does that mean? ^

Indoor air?

Our local grocer told me that they couldn’t get rid of the American produce. People just weren’t buying it.

neo: "What are you trying to say? I can't use rm(list = ls())"? morpheus: no neo, I'm saying that when you're ready, you won't have to

This is the way.

Why would one do this rather than use the cranlogs package?

Right. I think maybe I don’t quite understand the scope then. It is not intended to be a drop in replacement for arrow’s parquet reader?

Last time I used this, it struggled with deeply nested data structure - think a json blob jammed into a parquet file. This would be a nice feature.

Now everyone is racing to the bottom 🙃

Not shipping a “perfect” product to customers (upgrading later), teams working with “error budgets” and having deadlines to meet (that customers expect):

Sounds like software development! Except it’s not: it’s developing a lithography machine inside ASML.

Oh interesting! The “hardcore history” series on Genghis Khan is also a very good listen on this topic.

The world needs to know.

Some of the names that I considered for the tidyverse were sleekverse, deftverse, and dapperverse!!

Hmmm. I’m sorry that you took that away from my comment. In no way was I trying to minimize the effect of the tidyverse api. It’s been transformative.

I think it isn’t quite right to describe ibis as a tidyverse port. Certainly it draws from the tidyverse but I think the real interesting thing that it tries to do is establish a consistent syntax across many different backends. Fills a different niche.

Have you tried using ibis?
