The premise of this article is based on a single study in 1969 on mice. I agree with the general premise that the immune system ages and becomes less effective as we get older, but will need more convincing that removing the spleen will ma

Good to see the general purpose computer in your pocket being recognised as one.

One group were gaming the upvote system to ruin r/all. I remember it at the time, it was awful for the majority of people there. The ban made things much better.

I wasn't aware of this, do you have a link for me to read more?

Yes, I think if you are using switch() for an analysis in R, you're either using the wrong language, or you're doing R wrong.

I think a lot of the problem with comparing R to other languages is that a lot people don't get the problem space that R is working in. Science deals a lot with categorical variables, missing data and high dimensional data, and the &#

Don't forget MATE. It got redone in GTK3, and it is terrific.

While I'm here, what is wrong with menus? The ribbon interface needs me to learn what 100 symbols refer to, or else hover repeatedly to find what I'm after. I can read. Been doing it for a while.

Goodness the start bar on Windows. For something that is meant to be a key part of both the mouse and the keyboard workflow, how can it be so slow? My work computers can hang for so long on it, that it is quicker to find the application s

I suppose the price you pay of having a consistent desktop experience is that changes to the desktop look affect the look of your app, and you don't have much control over this. From a user perspective, I prefer this the hodge podge on

You do need someone with the clinical experience to understand the questions that need asking and to confirm the trends and suspicions seen in clinical practice, but clinical academics are expensive, and also terrible at stats and good rese

I'm also confused, as I think I simply pay Spotify for my premium subscription (given I joined Spotify using it mainly on the desktop). Which bit is new?

Thanks for providing that. Interesting to see the '.' used like a pipe. Always thought of it used in an OOP context, but interesting that it can be functional too. I also had difficulty fitting a LOESS curve to the plot, but I

Thank you for that, good to see there's an elegant Julia solution! The last time I was using 'pipes' with Julia, I think I was using DataFramesMeta. I also really like this interactive gadfly plot - reminds me of Matlab, bu

Oh, I feel a bit silly now! I'd seen a couple of attempts to combine the two, but didn't realise this one was official. It looks great. I have an analysis coming up that borders between dplyr and data.table in terms of size, so

This might be the most excited I've gotten about a comment in hackernews for a while! So interesting to see your style of code (I was actually on 4.0 so gave me the impetus to upgrade to get the new pipes). fct_reorder - what a hugel

Good point, looks like I'm too late to edit, but here's a link [1] (excuse the R style indexing). Yes, I love these things and very curious to see what hackernews comes up with. Project Euler was an eye opener for how things coul

Oh nice, that's very useful to know!

This is just a quick example - I would be grateful if people could recreate this brief look at UK COVID figures in another language: library(tidyverse) library(scales) download.file(url = "https://api.coronavirus.d

Using pipes and tidyverse/data.table allows for great things in R, and has a strong functional feel. It can be quite beautiful reshaping data, splitting, map, recombining and plotting it. It doesn't go well at all with a procedur

Ha ha, I love that this is your only comment here! Thanks for all your work on R. I came here with sleeves rolled up to defend the language, but was pleasantly surprised to find it was already being done much better than I could have. It&#

Wow, I feel like that goes beyond a dark pattern and strays into unconsensual abuse (excuse the truism). I feel like a dark pattern persuades and tricks you into doing something, but won't outright do something without your consent.

Ah yes that's a good point. I had mapped cursor/mouse to hjkl, but that was causing too much confusion in my brain as it thought it was using vim, found it works better using the default settings. I think that's the problem

I think I saw a 'let me explain to you why you're wrong above', so I think I'm doing well.

Oh interesting. Think that's what was running on my Psion 5mx. GP needs a Psion 7 then.

Apart from the E10 issue, they may have started leaving out fuel additives to lessen the increasing costs.

by dm319 5y ago
Such a mess. We pay for fuel and think of tank capacity in litres, but use mpg for efficiency. Getting an electric has made me just think we should shift fully metric and be done with it. Distances in km, speed in km/hr, consumption

Yes, I totally agree the split makes much more sense than jamming your wrists together to do many repetitive motions! I like the way the UHK allows you to slightly shuffle and adjust your position - more/less angle/separation. B

That's a sweet article, but probably those findings relate to the age of the person doing the studying. A good bed should support your spine so that it is aligned while sleeping, and the comfort layer needs to allow for circulation to

We're talking about being toriodal or curved in a 4th spatial dimension I assume?
