Does anybody just read the Quran? I listened to some comparative religion lectures by Huston Smith where he said basically it's impossible to just read. He tried it and didn't understand it. It's a book that is very hard to g

If you already know another dynamic language and want to understand R, I would recommend skipping all the intros to R based around data analysis and start with Advanced R by Hadley Wickham. It will explain all the weirdness you'll enco
