"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

It's only pi day if one lives in an ISO 8601-date challenged region of the world, otherwise it is still simply a very standards-conforming 2023-03-14.

Have you seen
db <- tools::CRAN_package_db()
returning N (as in nb of packages) times (currently) 67 columns. It is then used in helpers such as tools::package_dependencies() and others.

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.

Yes! Now go to eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/ and rejoice because #r2u gives you _all_ of CRAN as directly installable .deb binaries with _full_ and _automatic_ dependency resolution. Better still: thanks to `bspm` you get that as `install.packages(c("rmarkdown", "dt"))` etc #rstats

Which really truly badly sucks as the European Project is give-or-take the best thing that ever happened over there, and I am no longer part of it which is sad. Mais c'est la vie. Win some, loose some.
(Also s/Ontario/Illinois/ above. My bad.)

The odd bit is that I feel your "separation". When I became Canadian, I failed to / did not know about a "hey let us know" requirement as I was about to acquire another citizenship. So Berlin decided that was bad, and I was done. So now I have a German accent but no passport.

That makes you basically the mirror of my younger daughter. Three months in Toronto, the Ontario. Two years three months for her sister. So my gals ... are American-Canadians.

It's complicated. We've been in the US so long now that if we returned to Canada the taxman would still come after us. So we eventually relented, did the paperwork, and now eacj have two blue passports. Free options to move and all. It still think True North beckons one day...
