I'm certainly not going to judge anybody's decisions when it comes to raising their children, but a long commute means many hours away from the kids. When they're grown, will they be more likely to remember the nice yard and

I agree with everything here, including the praise for Matloff's book; it should be the very first book any serious R user picks up. But Matloff is no longer alone: Hadley Wickham's Advanced R is now also a must-read for R progr

Thank you for breaking it down like that, but nobody's saying it wasn't a joke. The point is that it was an offensive joke.

Those of us in the military community have a saying: "Lighten up, Francis." As for me, when I read the title, I immediately assumed that the author was stationed at a base in Iraq and worked on his project during his down time. Up

The title is 100% accurate (unless you want to split hairs on the definition of "startup"), so what's the problem? The point is that he built something in less than an hour a day during his free time.

It's basically the same scenario: the clearance will get pulled until the investigation is complete. The difference here is that the drug case will be resolved in a few days, as opposed to this prolonged federal criminal case involving

But he doesn't have the clearances for even non-compartmented classified material and that stuff is everywhere.
