🎓 Earlier this week, I was in Split for the 3rd edition of the Croatian Health Economics Workshop. The initiative started in 2023 when Prof. Ana Bobinac, Lana Kovacevic, and myself co-founded CHEA, aiming to develop an academic community in Croatia around the economics of health(care).

To borrow another example, taken from the `dbreg` README: github.com/grantmcdermo... Here I am running a fixed-effects regression on 180 million(!) row parquet dataset... and it completes **< 2 seconds**... on my laptop 🤯 This is powered by @duckdb.org under the hood. #rstats #econsky

Running dbreg::dbreg() on a full year of NYC taxi data... and it takes less than 2 seconds. dbreg( tip_amount ~ fare_amount + passenger_count | month + vendor_name, path = "read_parquet('nyc-taxi/**/*.parquet')", ## path to hive-partitioned dataset vcov = "hc1" ) #> [dbreg] Estimating compression ratio... #> [dbreg] Data has 178,544,324 rows and 24 unique FE groups. #> [dbreg] Using strategy: compress #> [dbreg] Executing compress strategy SQL #> #> Compressed OLS estimation, Dep.

I’m working on updates the Capitol Riot Map—an interactive visualization of the more than 1,500 individuals connected to January 6th. I’ve spent more than 3-years and devoted hundreds of hours to this project, and there’s still more work to be done. Details on how to support this project below👇🏼
