Everyone turn that anxiety and fear into energy!

For the uneducated , what’s a vector tile?

Let’s early vote #houston. We have a congressional seat at stake!

Voting is a muscle, we must practice it.

Is there a way to gift share a link ? #houston remember to vote!

Polyglots what is your secret to switch between coding languages?

I do a lot of #rstats and #sql development and more recently getting into bash and lua and I waste a lot of time on simple errors because of the conventions used by each language

Is this real? Then cancelling today.

It’s really driven by the snowflake sql convention that my team uses and I need to adopt so to avoid coding overhead when switching back and forth I apply that format to r

Yes but then my eyes bleed from a trailing comma with no following arg

It’s not about ignoring trailing commas it’s if you need to add or delete additionally args you don’t need to go back and add a comma on the line above — you can just readily add.

But it’s niche case - I understand if it’s not adopted.

Below is a simple example. Comma is leading for a new row, not trailing. It’s a popular sql formatting convention

Thanks everyone for their solutions but my guess is that robot.txt file for tsa.gov website isn’t up to date and is very sensitive to scraping so for some reason my local computer and my GitHub action “computer” or both blocked somehow no matter how many work arounds or headers I send it.

Yes.
But if your just attaching fb you don’t need the package.

The connect_to_motherduck() functions helps with connection.

From there just use DBI::dbExecute to attach the database.

Try my md package! Let me know if it helps

I know I’m alone in this but if you can create an option for lead vs trailing comma I would love you forever

Use @motherduck.com Easy to save it and create a access token for your package to use it

I'm district 7 now -- got rezoned

my kingdom if anyone can tell me why I'm getting 403 error when it works for everyone else. Even on my github action I'm getting a 403 error

#rstats

such better engagement that twitter!

#houston folks -- time to practice voting! let's take that anxiety and anxiousness and turn it into action.

voting is a muscle, you need to practice using it. We have federal and Houston seats available.

Thank you @jenrice.bsky.social for the great write up

the amount of debt you will take on won't be paid off by the jobs that are available for the degrees

what are you planning to do with these ? unless its paid for, I recommend against all three.

this hasn't worked the last 95 runs but you know what, just maybe this time I can get it to work
#rstats
#github
#actions

yes -- but its not working for me but neither is general pkgdown at the moment even for non quarto stuff -- so trying to figure out my relationship with pkgdown at the moment

does anyone use @posit.co cloud? can we SSH or use it from our local rstudio?

Right now {pkgdown} and I are not friends, so the documentation isn't showing up and I need to spend more time to figure out why

but try out packages and let me know if they are helpful!

GitHub - alejandrohagan/fpaR: Collection of functions for common business intelligence related analysis Collection of functions for common business intelligence related analysis - alejandrohagan/fpaR

While the packages aren't completely done, they are mostly done and now I can go back to my main quest which is finalizing the {fpaR} package.

GitHub - alejandrohagan/md: collection of utilities to help with motherduck and duckdb database management collection of utilities to help with motherduck and duckdb database management - alejandrohagan/md

..but I needed a way for others to load the 10M row dataset without csv files

so that spawned the second side project of creating a collection of tools to upload and manage data in @motherduck.com so that I can have users load from my online database instead

github.com/alejandrohag...

GitHub - alejandrohagan/contoso: Fictional dataset of sales transactions from the "Contoso" company Fictional dataset of sales transactions from the "Contoso" company - alejandrohagan/contoso

what started a side project, spawned two other side #rstats projects

I needed a dataset that had business transactions that was available both in RData or database format so that I can use with my {fpaR} package.

So I first worked on the {contoso} package but..
