Personal project: I'm logging sensor data to Sqlite on a Raspberry Pi. I want to make some pretty visuals with R using the data, but unsure about my options for making the data accessible to R.
You can query the database directly from an R session. My preferred approach is to use the DBI package. I would also recommend using the dbplyr package to write dplyr-style data transformations instead of trying to do a bunch of SQL string formatting.

Does my dad's middle name actually mean something?
Searching this Chinese name database I found on Google, 塞 (Sai4, stopper/fortress/meaningless sound form used in many place names) and 赛 (Sai4, competition/compete/win a competition) are the only recorded "Sai" character used in names, but there are 12 "Tong" characters. Some examples include 通 (tong1, open/public/general/complete), 同 (tong2, similar/shared), and 痛 (tong4, pain/bitterness).
