If you know me, you probably know my fixation on column names and column selectors for data wrangling, docs, and validation

I had NOT thought about selectors for styling. Awesome blog post on the deep integration of these features in The {gt}/great_tables Packages and polars data

The {gt}/great_tables Packages(@gt_package) 's Twitter Profile Photo

[BLOG POST]
First Great Tables blogpost on the project site! It shows you how to:
โ€ขconfigure the structure of the table (+ add source notes)
โ€ขformat table-cell values
โ€ขadd styling to targeted table cells (w/ Polars niceties)

Check it out at: posit-dev.github.io/great-tables/bโ€ฆ

The {gt}/great_tables Packages(@gt_package) 's Twitter Profile Photo

{gt} has a ๐Ÿ-based cousin now, in the form of the Great Tables (v0.1.0) package. Itโ€™s a *great* new Python package that simplifies the process of making tabular data presentable for any sort of publication task. Check out the docs site at posit-dev.github.io/great-tables/ and talk to us!!

Sharing this because it's not getting nearly enough love: quartodoc, by Michael Chow

Build quarto websites integrated with Sphinx autodoc. This means hosting documentation that is beautiful & consistent with code just got a lot easier

Hello! I maintain a port of dplyr to python called siuba.

If you'll be at and are interested, would love to chat!

As this article by Nate File shows, small steps go a long way toward making powerful change. With minor tweaks & innovation by people with tech expertise from #SJHPHL Philly's Social Justice Hackathon, we can use our legal expertise to serve more people who are struggling to get by. inquirer.com/news/philadelpโ€ฆ

polars data(@DataPolars) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Next release of polars will ship with automatic subplan elimination. Complicated self-referencing plans will likely run much faster if your threads were contending.

LazyFrame.cache() is an operation a user can start to forget.

Imagine a geospatial DataFrame library that's

- written in Rust
- binding to Python and WebAssembly
- multithreaded
- built on GeoArrow

With Stuart Lynn I've been working on a *prototype* of achieving this by extending polars data for geospatial support

If you're like to see my rstudio::conf() talk about R7, its now online: rstudio.com/conference/202โ€ฆ. R7 is a new OO system that takes the best parts from S3 and S4. It's designed by folks from R Core, BioC, ROpenSci, RStudio, and more

We ran the first 7 TPCH queries on scale factor 10 to compare different dataframe solutions on a single machine.

This shows that scaling doesn't always make it faster. See that small purple bar? That's how much faster polars is!
