A. When you use code to **analyze data** outside of an IDE, what are using instead?
B. When you analyze data without using code, what are you using to do it?

In this week's newsletter I look at the costs of schema-on-read vs schema on write.
There's also links to articles on an AI-ready warehouse, modelling and semantic layers, and where data goes.

Wife's hooked up to monitor contractions
wife to me: oh good, you have data occupy you
me: 100%ā oh look at that, this one's lasting a lot longer!
her: oh yeah it's basically the same thing š
(but seriously we both laughed because I couldn't help myself peeking at the data last time)

Weirdly felt the need to write this corrective on what counts as a semantic layer. #databs
Was great seeing so many peeps from federal agencies and state and local governments at #positconf2026. Open source data science is stronger than ever in #government. Iām always happy to chat if you want to talk more. #RStats #PyData #DataBS

This week on Counting Stuff, we're likely to say goodbye to leap seconds in October! None of us will live to see another such clock jump. Plus the whole negative leap second risk is all the earth's core's fault. #dataBS

In this week's newsletter I write about how to frame data contracts to different audiences.
There's also links to articles on graphs in practice at Netflix, ODCS v3.2.0 and ODPS v1.1.0 release, and asking is the data catalog finally dead.

Here is next release of R-orbital and tidypredict!
The take away from this release is that we massively expanded the supported models, With this release we are able to support all tabular models that can be supported from tidymodels
