The sparklyr package and friends have been getting some important updates in the past few months!
sparklyr is a package that allows you to interact with Spark using familiar R interfaces, such as dplyr, broom, and DBI. You can also gain access to Spark's distributed Machine Learning libraries, Structure Streaming, and ML Pipelines from R.
👍 In R, you can easily extract specific columns from a data frame by their numerical positions. For instance, to grab the second column from a data frame df, you can use df[, 2].
🙅♂️ You can also exclude columns by using negative indexing, such as df[, -2] to exclude the second column.

@sotneStatue Good luck. I'm sure you'll find @Bioconductor packages very helpful! There is also a lot of materials on how to do it.
Pst if you use R the hashtag we use is usually #rstats. You might get more help if you post it with that hashtag 😉
Since I've recently quit my job, I've enabled github sponsors now. Without any expectations, let's see if I can make a living as an #rstats#rspatial#whateverspatial opensource developer 🤔
Thanks to inspiration by @kylebarron I am currently deep diving into #deckgl and #geoarrow to enhance the geo-spatial visualisation toolkit available in #rstats#rspatial...
#RStats lazyweb: has anyone ever had to connect to an azure SQL database using microsoft entra authentication? I am searching for a solution and all I can find is MSFT espousing how good it is, and so far it feels like an automation nightmare! ping @hrbrmstr because you’ve usually connected to everything before I have.
I have a private GitHub repo for an R package I developed for my organization. I cannot deploy a pkgdown webpage for my team in a private repo. Does anyone know if I can easily include a pkgdown webpage within my package (maybe in inst?) and have users serve it locally with a function call? I just saw this post from Maëlle Salmon: https://mastodon.social/@maelle/112393952364276977. Maybe servr::httw() could facilitate this? #rstats
#RStats users, I’m weighing up a new MacBook and wondering whether to go the Air or Pro. I don’t want a 16”. I’m curious to hear people’s experiences with the specs they have. Please, no Linux-only recs, as my clients all use the Office suite, which means I need to be able to deliver reliable documents to them, which isn’t quite possible with Libre Office.
