Rlang ☛ Mastering Data Manipulation in R: Comprehensive Guide to Stacking Data Frame Columns
Data manipulation is a crucial skill for any data analyst or scientist, and R provides a powerful set of tools for this purpose. One common task is stacking columns in a data frame, which can help in reshaping data for analysis or visualization. This guide will walk you through the process of stacking data frame columns in base R, providing you with the knowledge to handle your data efficiently.
Arduino ☛ Arduino IDE 2.3.3: discover new support for shared spaces and more!
This new release is packed with improvements, including one feature we’re particularly proud of: support for shared spaces in Arduino Cloud. If you have a Cloud Business plan or School plan, you can now view and edit shared space sketches directly within the IDE, making collaboration with your team even easier and more efficient.
This builds on the recent news that collaborative coding has been added to the Arduino Cloud Editor, extending the functionality to the IDE itself.
Loris Cro ☛ Critical Social Infrastructure for Zig Communities
In this blog post I want to encourage Zig community members, starting from project authors, to take a more deliberate approach towards building communication channels between our communities scattered across various social platforms.
[Old] Sebastian Sylvan ☛ Brackets are awesome, don’t use them!
This is a syntax bike-shedding post, where I will try to explain why I think languages should stop using curly brackets for code blocks. I don’t expect anyone to come away completely blown away by this or anything, but I’m a language nerd and often end up discussing in-development languages with their designers. And since approximately 90% of all language discussion is about syntax, I’ll just write a reusable note on brackets here. J
Jonathan Pallant ☛ JP's Website · 2024-09-29 · Arm Microcontroller Compilation Options in Rust
The Rust Platform Docs highlight lots of options you can turn on when programming an Arm microcontroller. But what do they do? Let's have a look!
Jan Lukas Else ☛ My first passkeys implementation 🔑
No more of waiting, today I did it! And it wasn’t actually that complicated. 😊
With help of the go-webauthn library and the implementation of Miniflux (which is also written in Go and uses the same library), it was manageable to do in a day.

Rakulang ☛ Rakudo Weekly 2024.40 Done 25!
Justin DeVuyst has produced the ninth Rakudo compiler release of 2024: 2024.09, a mostly bug-fixing release and one new Routine trait: is revision-gated. Binary packages will become available shortly, as well as updates to Rakudo Star, if they are not already. Kudos to all involved!

Perl ☛ London Perl & Raku Workshop 2024
This year's London Perl and Raku Workshop is just 4 weeks away. We now have a pretty full schedule, so the call for presentations is now closed, however we might have room for one or two more talks depending circumstances on the day. If you really think you have talk you want to give then get in touch.
