@TrainLinkWest How often will the rail bus replacements be going next weekend? The Ultra Trail Australia event is on in Katoomba, so there will be 7000+ participants + supporters around the area, many of whom will be relying on public transport. Cant imagine there is going to be enough buses?

@ShannonGaitz @ArmstrongTaran My first thought on hearing about Mike White coming to Syd for Vivid was also to somehow ask him to fix Survivor, so glad you thought so too! Surely we can make it happen 🙏

Day 03: polygons. Melbourne city blocks by the change in the number of jobs between 2002 and 2020. #30DayMapChallenge #rstats

[Nick @nwbort]

And done in 30 lines, too, for the challenge's namesake

Day 02: lines. Australia in green and gold lines. #30DayMapChallenge #rstats

[Nick @nwbort]

Day 01: points. Points from Point (Piper) to (Potts) Point, Sydney. Made in haste after forgetting today was the start of the #30DayMapChallenge #rstats

@EmmaVitz Welcome (soon)! Hopefully you bring some good weather with you because we haven't had much of that here lately (excluding today!)

@aschiff You aren't losing your mind, but from memory you have to use File>Export rather than Save As PDF, and there may be a setting you need to enable in the dialogue box too. Are you talking about external links or cross references to another section?

Actually, not every vote counts (when the voting papers only arrive today!) #votenz

@Ticketek_AU I first contacted you in March (over 6 months ago!) about Tickets to an event. When will you respond to my messages? I can't even call you because the phone line is closed for Labour Day...which was last weekend. I can give you four different help ticket numbers....

@ProfSchrepel ATP is more Apple/Apple developer focused so tends to give different perspectives to a TechMeme or similar

@coolbutuseless `wugs` because if I want to `purrr::map` along the list I would tend to use/define a function with argument `wug`

@brshallo Not tidyverse only but you can use {data.table::rowid} which is about twice as fast.
tibble(x = c("a", "b", "c", "a", "a", "b", "d", "c")) |>
mutate(cum_count = data.table::rowid(x))
