Debugging R+knitr+sweave+Tex errors: you've got to be ready for the thrill of a chase down the most inscrutable paths...
Hey @SlackHQ is it possible to have a folder completely in slack itself to share files/subfolders?

To "_Id", or to "_ID", that is the question... #whencasematters
interesting - apparently BigQuery caches results of queries for 24 hours and handles change-detection if need be. You're not charged if cached query used.
when you want to mimic #sync code in #nodejs somewhere for multiple statements, and so you need to use #await to do so, it really seems like you get into a weird "turtles all the way UP" #async kinda hell situation that requires distracting contortions to deal with

Like #xml (which can be even worse), just because you *can* edit it with a text editor doesn't mean it's a good idea to rely on that... succumbing to the initially-easy-to-edit temptation seems to later end up in wasted brain cycles
Summarizers rule the world, man
What Tyler Schultz did was brave - a nice example of a heartening "do-the-right thing" in this world. #TheInventor #TheInventorHBO
when using #bootstrap tabs, calling scroller.measure on tab change with @DataTables is very important in order to get enough rows to show when switching between tabs... whew
Hey @googledrive - how do I turn on change notifications for a google doc (NOT a spreadsheet)?
