We are looking for #rstats community feedback on 3 new dplyr functions!

We're aiming to expand the `filter()` family:

- `filter()` to keep rows
- `filter_out()` to drop rows
- `when_any()` and `when_all()` as modifiers

Read more and leave feedback here:

Example of using `filter_out()` on the `penguins` dataset, showing how it is much easier than `filter()`, especially with `NA`s

Doing some work on my #R package #RandomWalker and looks like we got a nice speedup coming for all of the generating functions. Over 2,000 replications saw a large speedup where the original function takes 2.8x as long as the new.

Working a script that will add run information after a stored procedure is executed. I want some basic information to run after each scheduled job to see a history, and to see if insert amounts look off if there is a late run or failure some place else.

The way python and R foster inclusion directly contributes to their success: joyful places to exist, a steady flow of new maintainers, and a delightful collection of niche tools empowered by wildly different expertise coming together

Watch the new python documentary for more on PSF’s work here
The PSF applied a $1.5M grant from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) to make innovative improvements to packaging security — and we were recommended for funding! But as a condition of funding, we were asked to affirm that we wouldn’t undertake any diversity, equity, and inclusion work, whether or not we used the government funds to do so. The PSF simply couldn’t agree to that statement, as facilitating “the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers” is written directly into our mission and core to our values, so we withdrew our application. In the end, it wasn’t a hard decision for the PSF to put our community and our values first, but it does mean we lost out on this large funding source. Donations and sponsorship will help us fill the gap, so we can continue supporting the Python ecosystem and living our values.
