if I have an object eg. mtcars which is a tibble, is there a function that will print out the objects name

eg. mtcars |> func()

and it returns "mtcars"

just realized if you name your vignette / article the name of your package it will create a new tab "Getting Started" in your pkgdown

Makes me want to learn C
Simple #RStats Foreign Function interface using libffi, inspired by the Rffi package by Duncan T Lang. A fair amount of "conscious" memory leaks and experimention with S7 on my side. Despite the overhead compared to .Call, calling arbitrary C functions at runtime is nice.

I guess we can use github actions to run tests and select the different operating systems for the tests to run in
Is there a way to check how your functions works on different operating statements ?

There was an edge case where the function doesn’t work on windows due to web service limitation but is there a way to mimic that behavior via a server?

finally cracked this nut to do 445 calendars with time intelligence functions

The DAX language provides several Time Intelligence functions that simplify writing calculations such as year-to-date (YTD), year-over-year (YOY) and so on.

ended up going with soundcloud and @qobuz.bsky.social .

Thank you everyone for your suggestions
excited to cancel my #spotify subscription today. What is the consensus? tidal? soundcloud? apple music?

is anyone using #rstats on windows?

Can you install my package and run the `contoso::create_contoso_duckdb()` command to see if works?

I don't know how I've missed it because it's *right on the documentation home page*, but if you use {glue} for nice string interpolation in #rstats and you have {stringr} loaded (likely through the tidyverse), you can use str_glue() instead of glue::glue() or loading library(glue) glue.tidyverse.org

Well, I just learned a new #rstats thing.

You can use group_by() to merge cells by a categorical variable:

dta_transcript_merged <- dta_transcript |>
group_by(idea_snippet, idea_theme) |>
summarise(
text = paste(text, collapse = " ")
) |>
ungroup()

hits too close to home.
It’s so cool to have hitched your wagon 20 years ago to an industry that was booming beyond anyone’s expectations and have it turn out to be stripmined and utterly hollowed out by Shareholder Value, and every other industry you could slot into has been, surprise, hollowed out by Shareholder Value

When generating vignettes and you want to reference your package functions, how do we do this? When I do devtools::load_all() I don’t get consistent performance when using pkgdown so sometimes I need to build the package and install it and then nape space it, etc.

Anyone have experience? #rstats
