@mszll@datasci.social Apparently they refuse to send these requests to github to not run into rate limits: https://github.com/badges/shields/discussions/7435

@LeafyEricScott@hachyderm.io @rdnielsen@floss.social @duckdb@mastodon.social #duckdb seems to work on your example (instead of a list of files as I do here, passing in a glob should also work).

Just uploaded a new version of the #rstats #terminalgraphics package to #CRAN. #terminalgraphics allows for plots or other graphical output directly in the terminal (for terminals supporting either #Sixel or Kitty's #TerminalGraphicsProtocol).

@sebffischer@mastodon.social Ok, yeah. It would indeed be nice if you could pre reserve some space. I guess you could also do this with pure R, for example using integer() and keeping track of the actual size in an attribute, and implementing custom methods for length etc. Which now have to also do anyway.

@sebffischer@mastodon.social Do you want anything else than what integer(length) or numeric(length) or vector(type, size) offer?

@mbonsma@mastodon.social @ansible42@social.ridetrans.it What is the situation in Oslo with respect to people (mostly teenagers) modding their ebikes - removing the requirement to peddle and the speed limit - basically turning it into an electric scooter?

@leonardof @emmatyping Comparing works fine in #Rstats (in Dutch it is apples and pears)

@RosaCtrl@social.vivaldi.net For me implementing stuff is often a way to get to understand the problem.
