The world of big data, databases, and R is rapidly evolving with an explosion of tools and packages. We're delighted to announce two workshops at posit::conf(2024) tailored for working with large datasets:
• Big Data in R with Arrow, led by Nic Crane and Steph Hazlitt
• Databases with R led by @kirill
For data systems, #Arrow ticks all the boxes of a solid standard. Its columnar design makes both compute and transport fast. Because the format is the same across libraries, you can share the same data across processes without copy. And because the format is the same in memory and on the wire, you can pass the data around the network without serialization or deserialization costs.
Because of these properties, developers rapidly adopted #Arrow. It also opened the door to additional standards, built with Arrow in mind, to assemble a fully composable data system:
🖌️ "Under Cover: J.C. Leyendecker and American Masculinity" is on for another week (> 8/13) at the #NewYork#Historical Society.
The illustrator of #Arrow, #IvorySoap and other ads sold an idealized vision of the upper-class, athletic young man to the middle-class in the early 20th century. He was also #gay.
He helped define "masculinity" through his illustrations.

Every show an unforgettable event.
Any #greenarrow fans on Mastodon? I recently began a rewatch of the CW's #arrow and, while it became ungainly, the first two seasons are solid even with the very different take on Oliver. May need to re-read Year One as well.
