I'm excited to share a new version of the Air formatter for #RStats, with support for tabular formatting! Super useful with `tibble::tribble()` calls or `data.table::fcase()`.
It's currently experimental as we're looking to get feedback on the feature, so please let us know what you think.
New rule: no more "LGTM" if the checks don't pass.
Seems like maybe you didn't actually "look" nor was it "good".

#Rstats #duckdb hivemind
Best strategy for this situation :
- very large number of indivual files with same structure (millions of rows)
- concurent individual file based (client side) queries based on attributes stored in different tables/files (search on attributes tables then joins basically)
- don't want/cannot pay motherduck for now
What's best :
Just add tables, store in parquet/duckdb files and try to do most stuff on the client side, use Postgress ?
A day after my #positconf2025 presentation, I learned that my newest @rstats package {shinystate} arrived on CRAN!
Learn how {shinystate} supercharges the default bookmarkable state capability, complete with an example app running **in your browser** in this blog post: https://shinydevseries.com/blog/2025-09-24-shinystate-cran/
This package has been over 7 years in the making, but the journey has been well worth the effort!
Plus, even a couple of brilliant robot designers Dr. Light and Dr. Wily like the package too 🤖
> Trump’s targeting of ‘enemies’ like James Comey echoes FBI’s dark history of mass surveillance, dirty tricks and perversion of justice under J. Edgar Hoover
Donald Trump has a partisan ally running the FBI. He’s urged retribution against his perceived enemies. Will today’s FBI repeat the vast, unconstitutional persecutions of the J. Edgar Hoover era?
