I cannot get cursor to run #rstats. Is there anyone out there that has an idiot proof guide that can help me?

For those of us without GDAL experience (i.e me) can this be thought of as a more low level alternative to the sf or terra packages?

Lmao. I understand gen ai has issues that need to be addressed but I don’t get why people refuse to accept it can be a useful time saving tool

A nice podcast on the catastrophe bond market. It’s been a huge year for the market and I am very much looking forward to a hibernation over the Holidays #climaterisk

I will put my two cents in and I really find it helps me code faster and solve little road blocks.

I find it helps to patch stuff together across a number of data sources. To be honest, if you have clean datasets it’s probably not needed. But it has its place in the toolbox for messier datasets

I’ve been using edit mode for my #rstats code in position over the last week. Honestly, it feels like magic.

Also, I’d encourage people to apply early if they can!

Home Insurance as You Know It Is Doomed. You’re Not Ready. The remedies for homeowners so far aren’t preparing them for a financially stable existence as the risk of disaster increases.

When the world's biggest insurer says climate change has pushed traditional home insurance to its limits, it's already too late to start preparing. And we are in no way ready for a post-insurance world.

In part it’s the reinsurance cycle and we’re in a softening phase there. There’s also a structural softening of financial conditions with interest rates falling.

Oh my word. There is a r package for everything.
