This looks fabulous. Great iniative to show some more @rdatatable awesomeness. Had actually been thinking that "someone" could also do the SQL examples by @b0rk in @rdatatable too .... There is so much power and beauty in `dt[i, j, by]` and the @rdatatable backend.

Or, and that needs to be said and repeated, lack of breaking changes! CRAN *really* is just simply fantastically reliable here. I have been updating (nearly) daily for maybe a decade or longer and things just don't break if you choose your package stack wisely.

Signs you code too much and run too little #83: An email from @Strava makes you wonder "hm, what can they teach me about Pull Requests?". Happy @nymarathon to all runners! Ran a nice BQ (another one those terms...) there 12 years ago followed by a PR in Berlin the next year...

It's Halloween, 2019. This is the very last day we can refer to Blade Runner as a film that's set in the future.
