Check out our brand new "choose your own data wrangling comparisons" notebook to see some common side-by-side wrangling methods in JS, Python, SQL, R and Excel! This was a fun one🥰 👇👇👇

ICYMI: @bcstats is hiring! Bring your #datascience & leadership skills and join us as a Senior Data Scientist #rstats #Python

Once again the most widely downloaded GIS software on the planet is reduced to begging for funding, in an amount that would barely equip a small county office with the leading proprietary brand. Please give. 🙄 https://t.co/EsBmyx34wr

We have no formalized form of mentorship in the tech industry, and that's a travesty. If you are a senior person reading this, see if there are people near you that you can help.

{bcdata} #rstats📦updated on CRAN w/ a user-facing change (😳 but it will be _fine_). Locally-executed fxns in filter() when querying spatial data now need to be wrapped in `local()` to follow {dbplyr} best practices. Details here: https://t.co/cMaRFmd4zg 🙏 @andyteucher @boshek

ICYMI: {bcmaps} 1.1 #rstats📦was released a few weeks ago🎉 The main update == the BIGGEST datasets available in the 📦 are now sourced directly from the BC Data Catalogue https://t.co/a4nqDSHWYW 🎩-tip @andyteucher @boshek

🔥Major Announcement🔥 We created a new home for all of our resources on reproducible geographic data analysis, modeling, and visualization with open source software! Visit https://t.co/fRkwrYntsd. #rstats #rspatial #python #geopython #geocompx

Announcing Hanukkah of Data, a series of 8 free data puzzles, to be released starting on Dec 18th. Help Sarah find the family holiday tapestry before her father notices it's missing. Register at https://t.co/8AeM6RhLBf to receive an email update when the first puzzle is released!

I really enjoy #HanukkahOfData. This is a really fun story around data challenges. I'm solving each challenge faster every day as I know the schema better. Thanks @saulfp and Devottys! https://t.co/H4xbfdJUYg

@saulfp 2nd #data puzzle complete + 2nd candle lit🕯️-- I felt like a private data investigator 🕵️

Just had fun solving the first data puzzle from Hanukkah of Data w/ #rstats! 7 more days to go🕎 https://t.co/l8DUp8VcBe Tx @saulfp + team for putting this together 🙏

Today at 17:30 UTC (12:30 America/New York) is our first official @ApacheArrow / #rstats development-specific sync call! This time I'll be the guest chair sitting in for @nic_crane...join us to discuss all things related to the Arrow ecosystem in R! (DM me for joining info)

this is a good chart

Thanks @vicpdcanada for joining us this morning, reminding drivers to stop at stop signs & observe the 30km speed limit! Thanks Macaulay @sd61schools students for the great road safety messages! @crd_bc @icbc

1/ Holiday season is upon us! What can you do as an Engineering Manager to help your team + leaders out? There’s no point pushing new things out. But you also don’t want to leave in limbo. So what can you do?

Gr8 post by @nic_crane on what {readr} + {arrow} are doing to infer what kind of data are in your columns, or what you can do tell #rstats instead of letting 💻 guess.

New blog out singing the praises of @GdalOrg's 3.6 release that includes an @ApacheArrow-based read API for vector layers! I'm excited about faster reading of files but there's a whole lot more to it. Read on! https://t.co/c53SC1S2dY #rspatial #rstats #gischat

Excited to share the new codegrip package for reshaping #rstats code! Includes #RStudio addins for reshaping and navigation. Get it at https://t.co/eUUeBrNklG
