I’m not sure what features you’re looking for, but Quarto has a lot of really nice features that make it really easy to self host a blog.

Do they say what the Illuminati want to terra form NZ in to? Or is just the threat of any kind of terra forming enough?

I think the answer is no even if they own only a single copy (digital or physical) at a time.

This company copies home movies from VHS to DVD. The linked article implies that when you buy a product you’re only buying the format you purchased. So if you buy a physical book you’re only buying the rights to have the physical book, not a digital copy of the book.

I’ve almost entirely switched to using pak for managing my R packages. I’m not 100% sure what the magic is in pak, but it’s really made my life easier when installing packages.

I’m not sure if you’re using Quarto or not, but use it almost daily and frequently write R and Python in the same file without any noticeable overhead.

A wise person once told me don’t commit misdemeanors while you’re committing felonies.

I love duckDB, my usual workflow is:

• initially read my data from whatever source (CSV, relational database somewhere, whatever)
• write it to one or more parquet files in a directory
• tell duckdb that the directory is my data source

Then duckdb treats the directory just like a databese that you can build indexes on, and since they’re parquet files they’re hella small and have static typing. It was pretty fast and efficient before, and duckdb has really sped up my data wrangling and analysis a ton.

Should include “has duckplyr” which is bad ass in the few weeks I’ve been using it.

Good news, there’s a trial starting soon.

Although they can’t guarantee the number and location of teeth regrown.

I like to imagine this was thought up by some ambitious product manager who enthusiastically pitched this idea during their first week on the job.

Then they carefully and meticulously implemented their plan over 3 years, always promising the executives it would be a huge pay off. Then the product manager saw the writing on the wall that this project was gonna fail. Then they bailed while they could and got a better position at a different company.

The new product manager overseeing this project didn’t care about it at all. New PM said fuck it and shipped the exploit before it was ready so the team could focus their work on a new project that would make new PM look good.

The new project will be ready in just 6-12 months, and it is totally going to disrupt the industry!
