dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited!
- `filter_out()` for dropping rows
- `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools
These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats!

That's what I built with cuplyr! A CUDA-powered backend for #rstats data manipulation. Looking for testers and feedback!
