From my understanding, this won't have any implications on the way ALUs are designed, correct? I was taught that Russian Peasant multiplication[1] was the most straightforward method for implementing multiplication efficiently on hardw

My only experience with Bazel is using it for Tensorflow (TF). It seemed very roundabout for what was required and definitely had some painful version issues as TF got closer to 2.0. Hopefully this means more stability and ease of use going

I would love to see D succeed as the king of interop. That would be a great niche to fill.

Seconding i3. I bought into vim when the evangelists came for me early in my career and it has payed wonderful dividends. I can't recommend i3wm for everyone but for those who like keeping their hands on the keyboard and want the wm to

I have had this issue as well. Although to be fair, I would say this isn't the fault of R. Educators in the field of data science love notebooks because they can pair documentation, visualizations, and code all in one document. However

This is correct. A good cross platform tool for rendering images in many modern terminal emulators is imgcat[1]. iTerm2 appears to use this under the hood. 1 = https://github.com/eddieantonio/imgcat

The use cases I'm focusing on in the article are definitely less "production-friendly" that what you describe. This article definitely caters more to showing R as a CLI tool than R as an ecosystem. My language must have been

Good point. The original draft included this as a value proposition because I generally find that bold opinions are a good starting point for developing valuable insights. Sometimes, that insight comes from those with dissenting opinions. I

I do in fact use macOS, but I'm more preferential towards kitty[1]. Sadly, OpenGL is getting deprecated in macOS Catalina so I will probably crawl back to iTerm2 eventually. I'm quite familiar with asciinema[2] as well, which I&#x

Great example! My first thought is that anti-join could be the basis of a "csv_diff $1 $2" shell function. I have a hunch that there could be a really good follow-up post to this that takes these R hacks to the next level by exten

No offense taken! I'm relatively new to technical writing and the discussion from all of these comments (yours included) has been really helpful for guiding how I write future posts. HN is (in my experience) a lot more cynical and stra

I appreciate the feedback! There is definitely more that R offers than what I discuss here. In retrospect, I will be more restrained on my opinions when I have little experience in my pocket. That being said, it was absolutely my intention

I am definitely inexperienced with R. The intention of this post was to highlight a key point of friction I encountered throughout my introduction to the language. Namely, I was introduced to R (by someone more senior than myself) as "

For those who are unfamiliar, Óscar Toledo G. (and his family) are all world-class hackers (and teachers) when it comes to low-level computing[1]. I learned about his family's work (as well as his own) on this website[2]. 1 = http:&#x

The crazy high salaries are "ideally" going to the ones who have both the soft skills and the technical prowess to automate away other people's jobs, not their own. This is one of the reasons STEM PhDs have become so attracti

Semantically, you're absolutely correct. I think it's just important to clarify that "vulnerability" in this context refers more to "emotional transparency". I think someone who is confident in themself and has

I'm experiencing a similar bug. I think it's particular to the Linux build of Firefox, because I experience the same bug in krunker.io, but nowhere else.

There is already quite the discussion going on related to macOS versus [insert linux distro here], but here are my two cents. I've been quite happy with my 2015 MBP since I took the time to "gut" most of the default shell too

I'm sure bazel is a good tool when it is used properly, but as a greenhorn in the tech field, the constant version mismatching between bazel and tensorflow can become quite the pain when you have to build tensorflow from source.

Great find! I haven't done much work GUIs myself, but I would love to read more about alternative design philosophies in human-centered computing and their downfalls.
