   NeoVim is very tempting to me. I've been tweaking my Emacs config for 5 years, and I'm very happy with it, but only on my Ubuntu computers. On Windows, Emacs runs like garbage (slow, no double-buffering). I might have to switch to

   In emacs, I get completions in the r process buffer sorted by usage. This is from the package prescient.

   I hardly understand this comment. Statisticians have been publishing and arguing about models for 100 years now. No one required code to verify authenticity of research. I suppose it is the sorry state of machine learning research that the

   Hmmm. I don't see any connection between Recommender systems and causal inference.

   Thanks for this. I agree that potential outcomes is very useful, at least on a pedagogical level. I have been reading Imbens and Rubin's book and loving it.

   I'm aware that causal inference is a popular technique in econometrics, and other places where we cannot conduct experiments. What I'm not aware of, is if these techniques have produced highly useful and reliable inferences. (Putt

   What are the greatest successes of causal inference? What problems have been solved by the do-calculus or potential outcomes frameworks? I'm pretty sure the link between smoking and cancer was established before causal inference came a

   Old marketing trick. Patagonia and Keen send freebies and coupon codes to their influencers, the forest service.

   It looks just like Windows 10 Explorer but with new icons. Explorer is the least offensive part of Windows 10 IMO.

    I think the headline 'doing something is better than doing nothing' is a bit misleading. Based on my reading on the article, maybe it should be 'people would rather do something than not' because the researchers studie

    Yep, uncertainty intervals are definitely easier to get with gp regression.

    This is very nice. Gaussian process regression didn't click for me until I thought of the data as a partially observed sample of size one from a stochastic process. Practically, I have a hard time using Gaussian process regression. I f

    I've tried Feedly, Inoreader, Old reader, Newsblur, and Elfeed. Newsblur is my average favorite since 2013.

    Thanks for this. I might give it Nvim-R a shot. I've been using Evil+ESS for a long time, but Emacs runs like a dog on Windows 10.

    Reasons I prefer R to python: - Rmarkdown. I prefer a text document over a web notebook for exploratory research - The standard library is for statistics and data: dataframe, lm, anova, etc. are builtin - A huge range of probability distrib

    I've just switched to KeePassXC from bitwarden in the last month, and the experience has been pretty bad. My main complaint is that KeepassXC-browser can't recognize maybe 30-50% of login fields, and the autotype shortcuts seem to

    Machine learning is a hammer and there are just not very many nails. However there are a lot of screws that we wish were nails. Or we pretend they are nails.

    Thanks, yes. I'm a firefox user and I had no idea about this. Just goes to show that these kinds of software should be more usable, discoverable.

    Why don't web browsers have good password managers (like keepass or bitwarden) built in? It seems like a good solution would be to make random password generators more usabile than to throw out the baby with the bath water.

    I'm learning for the first time that TeXmacs can interface with R for reproducible research and computational notebook type writing. I might give this a shot! I like writing Rmarkdown, but I sure hate writing prose in fixed width fonts
