i did have a MS Office class in 2008ish that included powerpoint, word, excel, and access, but the teacher dropped your lowest exam out of the 4 so I didn't even bother with the access stuff...

for me, i think it was mostly a quirk in the programming of the concentration launch. my wife has the same degree from a year earlier (but before concentrations were a thing) and did have the database course requirement.

my degree is "information studies with a concentration in data science". i graduated in 2018 which was maybe the peak Big Data hotness era. i took classes on c++, java, but only really 'learned' R. somehow, i managed to not have to take the database class so i had to do a udemy course for sql.

The Costco warranty is actually more of a curse than a blessing. Getting an appointment is a pain here

what level of competency is acceptable for the comb teeth? i know it is frequently labeled as 'expert' level, but i don't know how obtainable that is.

i can't believe how many options i forgot about. there should be a rstudio option import tool that converts all of your rstudio options, like rainbow parentheses, to a positron config

maybe triple check that the extension is enabled?

"workbench.colorTheme": "Default Positron Dark",

this is my whole settings.json on my personal computer
