Great stuff! You can make minor adjustments to the R-script so you do not need to rely on {dplyr} and {tidyr}. For example, use merge() instead of left_join() and use the base pipe, |>, instead of the magrittr pipe, %>%.

Thanks. Just pushed. (I had never used R before).


Not OP but I guess Gladwell-style can be understood as writing that is presented as nonfictional but has more in common with fictional writing.


To me, it's when narrative has priority over accuracy. There are a number of popular edutainment figures who fit this mold, but Gladwell is probably the most prominent example.



They are already combined in dtplyr[1].

Interesting to see far-right terminology being used unironically at HN.


Can't escape it anywhere, sadly.


100% agree. I am more than happy to see Astral taking steps in this direction. People can continue to use uv, ruff, and ty without having to pay anything, but companies that benefit tremendously from open source initiatives can pay for a private package registry and directly support the continued development of said tools.


Looking good! What does it mean that it is free forever? That the code is available on GitHub and we should not have to be concerned about the site going offline or moving to a different place (that is not free)? Or, if it takes off, that we should begin to see ads? Or that this is the free tier option and future iterations can expect you to pay to, say, remove a watermark?


this is free in the sense that users don't have to worry about paying a dime for using it. i have no current plan for any kind of monetization. it's my hobby tool that i use and expect people to use without worrying.


> free forever

conflicts with

> no current plan


no plan meaning adding features, not in the sense adding monetization.

Free forever as asking NEVER to users for any kind of money for using service.


Did you write the stand-up comedy set? This have all the telltale signs of AI (down to the use of em dash).


The greatest crime of LLMs is killing the em dash — gone too soon.


Em dash as an AI detection trick doesn't work for text in Russian. The author just seems to like that way of composing sentences.


It’s nothing but AI slop. The writing, the main photo, everything.
