Screenshot of a youtube comment which says "I miss your takes on Twitter and your content on Youtube (understand a lot of work goes into the latter). Are you active on BlueSky or elsewhere?"

Miss y'all! <3 This youtube comment simultaneously broke my heart 💔 and filled it.

Being off socials has been good for the mental and productivity, though.

Hope to share more about it in the coming months :)

heard, thanks! :)

@eddelbuettel.com where can one find which packages are served by r2u? I can't seem to find a listing at eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/

Going through hiring process right now and I think applicant tracking systems are fundamentally broken.

At my last use, duckplyr uses the in-memory duckdb database which doesn’t support out-of-core processing. does it now set up a temporary duckdb database?

say it with me!!!

duck👏🏼 plyr 👏🏼 doesn't 👏🏼 support 👏🏼 larger 👏🏼 than 👏🏼 memory 👏🏼 workloads 👏🏼 but 👏🏼 DuckDB 👏🏼 with 👏🏼 {dbplyr} 👏🏼 does

Opinions about #Databricks as an #Rstats user seem to range from “a bit clunky” to “terrible.”

Anyone disagree?

We did this with Azure Blobfuse. This requires that you also have an .Rprofile to update your `.libPaths()` as well.

Just pure pain.

databricks clusters are also ephemeral so if you want any libraries you have to install em with a startup script. One way to get around it is to use Docker container based images which have the packages you use installed. OR you use a startup script to mount the persistent dir to your runtime.

What we did in my previous role was that we had 2 docker images: one for interactive development that had RStudio Workbench (now Posit Workbench) and another that did not have it. The latter was used for integration into the Databricks jobs—b/c you cannot use Job scheduler when using brickster

(sorry, jeremy gonna give an outside view on this one :P )
the R + Databricks "story" tends to be "use your own infrastructure with an Databricks connect and use {dbplyr}". Like 90% of the use case of Databricks is their compute so having to standup additional infra is a tough call.

its absolute crap.
