Introducing {opt} to set options conveniently using autocomplete. No more awkward search for existing options, no more misspelling them! github.com/moodymudskippe… #rstats

Some really cool (programming) tech that I think are underrated right now and that have proven very useful to me this year:

Latest dev version of #rstats 'curl' has a new advanced download interface which supports concurrent downloads and resuming large files: jeroen.r-universe.dev/manual/curl.ht…

Has anyone seen written documentation on how much working RAM to expect for a pandas dataframe and why? Everything I’ve seen is handwavey, 2x-3x the filesize. I’m happy to dig into the code but thought someone might have written about this already.

This and other new libcurl features are now used in the latest version of the #rstats curl package: ropensci.org/blog/2023/01/1…. Amazing how this library has been around for 27 years and it just keeps getting better.

We have a shiny new Discord server about The {gt}/great_tables Packages and you really should join! discord.gg/Ux7nrcXHVV Ask us questions (we’ll answer) and tell us what you like and don’t like about the 📦! It’s just a fun place to talk about tables so get in there already!

Jordan Nafa Demetri (is over at the other place too) library(pkg, include.only = c("name", "name2")) library(gamlss, exclude = "select") Works as of #RStats 3.6 stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-dev…

Everyone who used #rstats dput() from time to time should try the constructive 📦 because it puts out strings that you can actually read + use w/o endless reformatting. Thanks Antoine Fabri

Twitter "rate limiter" in action. I don't know whether to facepalm or admire "move fast and do random shit" as a product strategy.

If you are running into broken GitHub integrations today, it's because GitHub issuecomment IDs have just passed the maximum value of i32. For example Rust Language's rfcbot is currently out of commission with an i32 overflow.

uv 0.5.0 is out now 🚢🚢🚢 We did 30 releases without a breaking change, so this release contains a handful of them that we've accumulated over the past few months. Many aimed at improving correctness.

they fixed it!

great advice from Simon Willison on how to store timestamps in a database

Until ~2015, GitHub Pages hosted over 2 million websites on 2 servers with a multi-million-line nginx.conf, edited and reloaded per deploy. This worked incredibly well, with github.io ranking as the 140th most visited domain on the web at the time.

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become
