Dirk Eddelbuettel (@eddelbuettel.com; 23/4/1; 2026-02-20): One of many things data.table got right many years earlier, and still (approximately) nobody cares. Bewildering.

A data scientist purifies herself to climb a holy mountain. At the top she finds a woman with long white hair sipping tea. She says “Master, at the end of the world, what will be left?” The guru replies: “Poisson arrival rates. They are pretty indestructible.” ↪
Ondrej Mottl 🌿💻📈🌍⏳ (@ondrejmottl.bsky.social; 9/0/2; 2026-02-21): If you are following #Rstats people and wandering what are all the flame wars abouts:
“Tibbles are a modern take on data frames. They keep the features that have stood the test of time, and drop the features that used to be convenient but are now frustrating.”
