Better than read_csv_arrow()? In my experience that’s the fastest csv reader

Yeah, how you balance learning while delivering things at the pace being called for is still not clear

I also find that as an experienced user, I know where the crux of a problem lies and I am better able to articulate the problem and a desired path to a solution .

For those of us without GDAL experience (i.e me) can this be thought of as a more low level alternative to the sf or terra packages?

I find it helps to patch stuff together across a number of data sources. To be honest, if you have clean datasets it’s probably not needed. But it has its place in the toolbox for messier datasets

When the world's biggest insurer says climate change has pushed traditional home insurance to its limits, it's already too late to start preparing. And we are in no way ready for a post-insurance world. Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Home Insurance as You Know It Is Doomed. You’re Not Ready.
The remedies for homeowners so far aren’t preparing them for a financially stable existence as the risk of disaster increases.

In part it’s the reinsurance cycle and we’re in a softening phase there. There’s also a structural softening of financial conditions with interest rates falling.
