Today in timezone madness: Lebanon had a last minute announcement of DST postponement. The Olson database complied. Now there is a dispute if it happens, and *parts* of the government reversed it. The country now has two timezones concurrently depending on who you ask.

Fast or slow for #rstats CI?
In Jan I blogged about a comparison between the exact same thing "tiny" (via `RPostgreSQL`, few depends) or "tidy" (`RPostgres`, more).
Updated chart from still-running weekly GHA below. Details at dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2…
Waiting is a choice.

Within minutes of the release of the #umbra open data program, we used TileDB Cloud to create temporal stacks of #SAR imagery that can be shared and analyzed. This example uses TileDB’s powerful cloud-native, analysis-ready format. cc @mouthofmorrison

"You should deploy all the time and it should be a non-event to deploy" feels like the current modern tech version of "actually, it's good for doctors to wash hands between surgeries".
Not deploying on Friday is a huge red flag, indicating a seriously broken process—insufficient testing, for example, a lack of continuous integration and waterfall thinking (deploy many times throughout dev), and most importantly, no culture of quality. Fix all that.

Chat*whatever thinks I am a Finance prof (nope), have degrees from Kaiserslautern (nope), LSE (nope), and UCSD (nope). But hey on the upside it didn't mangle my name.
So those machines better be learning some more.
Kudos to my colleague @jermdemo for the find.

Epic Kenji López-Alt piece on local pizza customs.
"Whether you call it party-cut, bar-style, tavern-style, Midwest thin crust, Chicago-thin or, if you’re from the Midwest, just plain “pizza,”"

Celebrating fabulous news of a re-master and re-release as one does: by watching the original at youtube.com/watch?v=_CUvkrtq…
What a landmark it was. And how timeless it is.
Excited for the re-release.
If the suit still fits… This year, we’re bringing Jonathan Demme’s groundbreaking 1984 Talking Heads concert film STOP MAKING SENSE (newly remastered in 4K!) back to theaters worldwide. #StopMakingSense2023

And here in North America we have the boldness of Ottawa comparing rather favourably with the previous administration in Washington. As Canada is less than half the size of Germany, and about the size of California, it makes US and UK look small.
