That's why ledgers have two sides. You'd also have to pay us to bear with you so net equity is likely small.

I have parts in two for work repos (mostly without arrow build dependencies), and more bits in other places (incl "failed" attempts of "fast" `data.table` exports: one must materialize). And I have been pointing several people at nanoarrow for a while now. It's good and handy.

`anytime::anydate` has done this for years without requiring a format (which leads its heuristic to reject your second example: if you use eight digits it assumes yyyymmdd). There is also 'rodney dangerfield danger' when mixing mm and dd order but ISO 8601 (+ variants) is safe.

Standards are good.
If you know what this is, time to take your meds.

As I threatened to do earlier, I wrote about the structure of BlueSky & implications for content moderation, recommender systems, monetization & its future. It starts with Jack. Everyone at Twitter--esp Jack--has known this could replace Twitter.

'Database' is broad term but I have five hundred plus commits to the spamassassin 'filter' file I use (a public copy of ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs) github.com/eddelbuettel/filt… Always meant as one possible cog in a larger network so feel free to remix and extend.

The sorting part depends on your so-called 'locale' and it still depends on how this is provided: see `help(locales)` R shields us from a lot of things. It cannot shield us from the fact that we do need a computer to run it, and that computer needs an OS. #rstats

Congratulations on the launch of  #CZCellxGene Discover Census. We are honored to be collaborators with the @cziscience on TileDB-SOMA for cross-language, cloud-native access to this groundbreaking dataset. tiledb.com/blog/tiledb-launc…
Replying to @JCoolScience
Census data and APIs are built around TileDB-SOMA from @tiledb, allowing for: *cloud-optimized storage *low-latency access for larger-than-memory data slices querying + filtering under lazy evaluation *transformers to pandas, numpy, pyarrow, anndata, Seurat and R base objects

Random idea: Maybe we should let international students stay here after they graduate from American universities with advanced STEM degrees.

You may want to consider '2FA' -- two-factor authentication commonly via an app on your phone.

Whoops: that should of course have been 'SingleCellExperiment`. See `fortunes::fortune(112)`. To make up, here is a link to gif showing the complete installation of `SingleCellExperiment` and `Seurat` in thirty seconds with all dependencies: files.mastodon.social/media_…

Congratulation -- and #r2u (and its currently 240+ file subset) has been converted to @BioConductor release 3.17 with #Rstats 4.3.0. E.g. can install SingeCellExperiment and Seurat via one `install.packages()` to get 151 binaries in 30 seconds. Simple. Fast. Reliable.
Bioconductor Release 3.17 is now available. See full release announcement at bioconductor.org/news/bioc_3… @Rstats @Bioconductor
