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? ^

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

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.

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. From Focus: The ASML Way by Marc Hijink

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

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.

Did everyone just _move_ here or does everyone just maintain a hundred accounts now?
