The year is 2042. Python has become a dialect of #rstats. News is reported via Quarto documents. Self-driving cars call prediction endpoints hosted on Posit Connect. Movie studios do all their CGI in the #rayverse. Hadley still uses nothing but R. The world is at peace.

@brodriguesco I'm trolling a bit obvs, but I do think there's a tendency to say "language X is known for Y therefore X is a DSL for Y" while some other language that is known to be used for some superset of Y is therefore considered general-purpose

@brodriguesco interfacing with Amoeba OS

[Adam Austin @just_add_data]

@brodriguesco @cosmiczest is it a versatility thing, or a familiarity thing, that leads to better collaboration with IT types? My experience is generally the latter but curious how others see it

[Adam Austin @just_add_data]

@pdrmnvd you could just stop at "why does every query user interface"

[Adam Austin @just_add_data]

@pdrmnvd this is wrong, it's supposed to be longest to shortest

I do this for real though 🙈

@Cghlewis "traceback not available"

[Adam Austin @just_add_data]

@vboykis Yes! I've also found that when I pregame by reading really cohesive work, I think more clearly. So I always advise that to write better you have to read good writing.

@MrLarrieu @tdhopper conda but only sometimes

[Adam Austin @just_add_data]

@EmilyRiederer not sure this qualifies as a "large number of covariates" though

[Adam Austin @just_add_data]

@EmilyRiederer just found a data set in R's cplm package! Roughly 10k rows of auto claims including frequency and severity. The package help file has the data dictionary, see ?AutoClaim
