In my experience R is king of happily chugging along spitting out nonsense results when it should have errored 100 lines ago.
The increasing prevalence of non-standard evaluation in R packages was one of the major reasons I switched from R to python for my work. The amount of ceremony and constant API changes just to have something as an…
It's because you're in London. I have family in rural Cumbria with full fibre, yet none of the flats I've rented in London have availability.
I don't see how I could ever afford to retire whilst still having to pay rent in the UK.
The coachloads of Chinese tourists that I see every summer make me doubt this.
You can get some very permanent water-proof inks. Platinum Carbon black is my favourite.
My biggest issue with R package management is version pinning. If I specify an older version of a package, R will fetch the latest versions of all its dependencies, regardless if they're compatible or not, which leads…
They can invite whoever they want, but I think they will struggle to attract talent unless they actually start making some changes to make it a more attractive option rather than just assuming elsewhere is going to get…
We tried plumber at work and ran into enough issues (memory leaks, difficulty wrangling JSON in R, poor performance) that I don't think I could recommend it.
Happens with R as well where everything gets dumped into a global namespace. It's a huge mess. If you're lucky all functions will have a common prefix str_* or fct_*. If you're unlucky then you have to figure out which…
I would argue a European PhD prepares you for research better than a US one. You're expected to hit the ground running with required prior research experience and you have no classes or teaching obligations which…
I'm not sure which European country you're thinking about, but we had lockers, individual backpacks and heavy textbooks. I never used my locker because we didn't have enough time between lessons, so I just carried all…
It's mentioned in the abstract and 45 times in the article. Most scientists don't use the brand name of a drug.
Counter-steering is how bicycles steer, whether you're doing it consciously or not.
> And the ones who do care about reproducibility are using R anyway I worked in a pharma company with lots of R code and this comment is bringing up some PTSD. One time we spent weeks trying to recreate an "environment"…
The logic to detect and attempt to fix ID switches is unfortunately a huge part of multi-object tracking.
True, but trying to wrap any of that into a function rather than simple scripts makes you delve into the ever-deprecated API for non-standard evaluation.
In my opinion R should thought of as an unbeatable graphical calculator, but an awful programming language.
Most of the SQL I write is within a string of another programming language, so it's essentially monochrome unless there's some really fancy syntax highlighting going on.
They have zero power, it's just a man with a clipboard asking to have a look around your house, the correct response is to shut the door in their face. They rely on a uniform and vague threatening language to trick…
I often find I want a specific statistical package that's only in R, but want a more general purpose language for all the other stuff that's involved (parsing, filesystem stuff, error handling etc). I don't want to risk…
I understand the tidyverse perfectly well. Unfortunately it's become a habit of R users to import it at the top of every R script without thinking of the consequences of other users/maintainers.
> It’s not necessary though, because the R community does a good job avoiding name conflicts That has not at all been my experience. Loading the tidyverse pulls over 1000 things into your global namespace and clobbers…
Arguably Logan was in F1 to draw American audiences and sponsors, also his uncle is a billionaire.
From the fountain pen side, Carbon pigmented inks seem to survive anything you can do without destroying the paper itself. I use Platinum Carbon Black in my lab notebooks.
