Your comment is just another flavour of various fallacies christrians trot out i.e., whats stopping you raping and murdering without the bibles moral framework And your also trying to twist my words in the opposite…
Also, from your comment > "marry and enjoy sex" is what Paul is trying to say This is your interpretation and shows your own bias. I read it as "you must have consent from your partner to withhold your body from them".…
Describing my interpretation of a passage that quite literally says "your body belongs to someone else" as a 'worst possible reading' would be comically hilarious if not for the rather sinister undertones. Your…
I do notice the symmetry. It is saying that each of them can use the others body as they like, without regard for the other. But that's fine, because they can do it right back. A progressive system is not built off…
Have not read this series (yet), but Watt's Blindsight is an absolute masterclass in literary sci-fi
In my experience, business people are chomping at the bit to build and manage the ops for their apps, but it's always an "IT Operating Model" that is thrown back at them
SE is an amazing and wonderful resource
This is something that Palantir Foundry supports extremely well. Its data layer is built around the idea that anytime you're making a change, you make a branch, build on branch, only data you modified is copied to the…
Couldn't agree more. R and dplyrs ability to pass column names as unquoted objects actually reduces cognitive load for new people so much (pure anecdata, nothing to back this up except lots of teaching people). And…
Let's say that you want to know who your largest customer is, both by order value and volume. I could either: 1. Prompt my agent and deal with writing the prompt, waiting for the agent to sift through all the data…
I enjoyed reading this but felt like it missed a few of the points on why a lot of companies are indexing heavily on the context layer. 1. While AI is capable of driving massive value, chatbots are very rarely the…
Say I have a dataframe called 'penguins' I can write code like: penguin_sizes <- select(penguins, weight, height) Here, weight and height are columns inside the dataframe. But I can refer to them as if they were objects…
Cannot recommend this book enough. Absolutely fascinating read
The mistake here is having an architect who is not shipping product. Architects who's job it is to define 'rules' and 'patterns' without actually impending anything are almost always a bad idea. Just focus on shipping.…
I love R and am always excited about tools for R but I immediately get suspicious when I see things like: > RMCP has been tested with real-world scenarios achieving 100% success rate:
Possibly. I think R is actually easier to learn for people who have never studied or done programming before. 1. It's easier to get up and running as RStudio is much more 'batteries included' than other popular IDEs,…
Very cool! Are you planning for there to be a corresponding R package that exposes the high level commands? The popularity of the usethis package really showed the power of keeping people within the R interpreter rather…
A huge number of people. They're a very well selling car
Always thrilled to see another nethack player in the wild! Been playing on and off for 20 years and have only managed a single ascension in that time!
Drugs or not, your comment was rude and condescending. And trying to brush it off as people being 'sensitive' doesn't change it being rude and condescending
Totally agree. PySpark, dplyr, or polars any day
I was a Masters student when Brit was finishing off her PhD. Awesome scientist and very cool person. So glad to see her continuing in this space! NIWA is also just a very cool place in general. Have really liked…
This is a false dichotomy. There is more than enough room for both languages, and R is not attempting to replace python
Love to see things built with bookdown, which is such an awesome R package (although it's successor, Quarto, is much better and simpler)
I wish they did though. 80% of my day job is (admittedly non-traditional) ETL. It's done in 100% PySpark. More composable than SQL. Have plenty of utility functions wrapped up (which are far easier than stored…
