It made me wonder how fast would Python parse a simplistic program with 1 million lines. N = int(1E6) for x in range(N): print (f"x{x}={x}") generates lines like: x0=0 x1=1 x2=2 ... running it with:

I think, especially in the light of how it was targeted, a better analogy would be the act of popping a message from the Democrats when visiting the Republican RNC website or vice-versa. I find it oppressive - the mere "reminder"

What if the message was: "Make America Great Again". What if the message was: "H1B - go back to your country". would it still feel ok to you? etc it is grossly unprofessional to insert unrelated messaging and hijack a to

What you are showing is not a haircut, the robot "shaves" the neck area - very slowly at that. Frankly, the approach does not seem suited to cutting hair. People will move their heads even involuntarily. Plus there is a lot more f

Read up on the story yourself, the myriads of scams and thieveries along the way. Read up on the people involved, their past actions ... read up of actions that happened before and after. Now think about who benefited of the scams and would

The fundamental problem with the interpretation of this study is the same as with any study of big genomics data: If your dataset it sufficiently large and the phenomena is sufficiently complex you can find myriads of tiny, valid yet uninte

load up a bioinformatics R library in bioconductor, see what happens, a few dozen would be the low estimate. And make no mistake each does fairly complex tasks. now what if I told you that the majority (perhaps all) of these libraries you l

Sure, I got no love for Amtrak. Just pointing out that we should criticize it for short trips not 4000km ones.

by glofish 7y ago
ok but the California Zephyr covers 4000 km - that's like going from Madrid to Moscow - I doubt any train or set of trains over that distance ever arrives on time.

You quote a reply to a post that advocated for all education to be segregated. That means making a choice for others. In this post, I make a recommendation of staying away from R. It is not even a remotely similar context.

Hadly Wickham is a hero of the language, single-handedly tries to wrestle the slippery monster into sanity, I think long term is a losing battle because in the end the language is still borked. My hat off to him though! As for the language

try loading up any scientific package and you'll see how, in turn loads up other and other packages, in bioinformatics you can easily add up to dozens if not a hundred of dependencies, each written in R by people with questionable skil

I also LOL-ed when I read "german food" being an attraction. Like bratwurst and spatzle?

that "easy" has a huge price - the language is choke-full of unexpected behaviors, inconsistencies and gotchas - all in the name of making it "easy"

I agree! That is what R was designed for. Puttering around in the R shell, slicing, dicing data live, doing some interactive plot this, plot that - alas that is not how R is used anymore

R, unfortunately, is also one of the most ill-designed yet popular programming languages in existence. I would strongly recommend people to steer away from it. If you cherish your sanity stay away from using R! Moreover after seeing what my

When you do a pip install this-or-that do you actually first download the source and look at what takes place? probably not. In that sense curling is better as you can see the code beforehand just pipe it into a pager.

Is it really all that different from a site asking you to do: python setup.py Do people ever open up setup.py to check the code and all that imports for side effects? As a matter of fact the construct makes it easier to inspect the

Conda is more generic - it allows packaging and distributing software written in languages other than Python. You can distribute java based software, C etc.

You just said you advocate gender-segregated education. How is that not a statement on what you believe to be correct for everyone?
626.
by glofish 7y ago
What you are saying is that since you prefer something everyone should do the same. And what you prefer is the correct choice for everyone ...

by glofish 7y ago
I have a hard time believing that Hungary, Malta and Slovakia have comparable gender equality to Indonesia or Arab Emirates. Based on that, if those countries were moved up I would say the trend will be even stronger.

The most important attribute of fake news is the appeal to emotion and outrage, and using that to paint a manipulative picture - that's is the primary reason for this being a fake news. Not even wether or not blood is the biggest expor

The entire discussion is about paying people for their blood and the main argument backing up the exploitation was the size of the exports. All I am showing is that a country can export lots of blood even when they don't allow paid &qu
