I program R daily (admittedly mainly for statistics) but I don't feel this pain at all. To me, R feels like a more sane JavaScript. Are you missing type safety or better OOP?

Why is R not decent? The performance could be better but what else?

For playing I like tChess (on iOS). It costs money but was worth it for me. No puzzles though.

I haven't taken a lot of data science classes but I'm not sure that's true. If you start with linear regression the mean squared error would make more sense. I actually searched through "The Elements of Statistical Learn

That certainly seems likely and a good thing to keep in mind when you're giving or taking an interview!

Looks interesting, which features do you intend to cover? How are you going to onboard people with previous (extensive) experience using spreadsheets but not with feature X?

Unfortunately not everywhere.

Tell me more about the dictatorships replacing Salazar and Franco. Honestly, I don't think you're judging the man fairly. You point out everything he could possibly have done wrong and completely ignore his good deeds.

The article doesn't state which rebel groups that used violence he supported. It could well be that the rebel groups that 'used violence in Africa' are the independence fighters in Algiers and the anti-apartheid movement in S

Which TOS? I might have accepted terms when I created a Google Account but in no way do I agree to a TOS by visiting a URL.
