Anyone have an example of setting up and using @duckdb.org's ducklake in #rstats, yet? Preferably with dbplyr or duckplyr

Interactive heatmaps that "fade away" as you zoom in, revealing points with a custom pop-up?

You can do it all in #rstats.

Hey #Rstats friends👋, I am looking for some real life examples of using #targets 📦 for a large-scale #ecology project. There are a couple of ways of doing things, so I am genuinely interested how people have been using this amazing tool⚒️
Please boost♻️

I have a shortcut in #RStudio to run my targets pipeline, which is really convenient. Now I’m wondering if I can have the shortcut run the pipeline as a RStudio background job. Anyone know how to accomplish this?

New #rstats pkg gander is now on CRAN!

gander is a coding assistant that knows how describe the objects in your global R environment. So, when you're working with data, LLMs will know the names, types, and distributions of data columns, resulting in much more effective completions.

Which of these features would you like us to implement first in the nanoparquet R package?

See options below.

#RStats #parquet nanoparquet.r-lib.org
Read and Write Parquet Files
Self-sufficient reader and writer for flat Parquet files. Can read most Parquet data types. Can write many R data types, including factors and temporal types. See docs for limitations.

#rstats is there a way to use the pointblank package to check that the string lengths in a column do not exceed a limit?

Is there a way to update enums in #duckdb?

I just saw that on stringR library with str_view() you can underlying representation of a string and to see how a pattern matches :

str_view(c("abc", "def", "fghi"), "[aeiou]")
#> [1] │ bc
#> [2] │ df
#> [3] │ fgh
