@AguadeGuim @Ecology_Letters @sonia_kefi @ricard_sole @Eco_Godoy @VioletaCalleja @Monty2Daniel @ibartomeus @Daniel_R_Amor @JordiPinero @IntpNatura @isemevol Looking forward to reading this :)

@ArmitageDW Just in case you're not aware of it, this reminds me of this paper https://t.co/ONAI15YiGO

[Vasco Lepori @lepovas]

@BGtheWorld @beecycles It's more complicated than that though. Some OA journals are the most predator and profit-driven. I'd rather support paid-access society journals than MDPI or NatComm

[Vasco Lepori @lepovas]

@psmaldino To be honest I'm not sure we need prestige journals at all, but at least CNS don't have a preferential track for science's royalty and one for the plebs. Publication biases are already real enough without it.

[Vasco Lepori @lepovas]

@psmaldino I think many profit from the ambiguity, as a large part of the public (including some researchers) isn't aware of PNAS' different tracks and conflates the two types of articles. Publishing two separate journals would be more honest.

[Vasco Lepori @lepovas]

@PWGTennant @K_Zucker Agreed, but if both X/N and Y/N are rates independent of N (ie, the amount of chocolate I eat does not depend on the size of my country), I'm not sure why you would expect this association? Confounding is there, but probably due to some unobserved variable

[Vasco Lepori @lepovas]

@bmwiernik @multimeric Just evaluate left to right, as is already done with operators with equal precedence? Julia allows exactly this (piping into uncalled (anonymous) functions)

[Vasco Lepori @lepovas]

@hadleywickham Not saying you should but
diamonds = diamonds %>% cbind(., ppc=.$price/.$carat)

[Vasco Lepori @lepovas]

@floryannelli @sofiavanmoorsel I'd say the argument is borderline disingenuous, since it confounds research and teaching positions altogether. Also, how convenient to ignore that it is universities/snsf that control both demand and supply by funding so many phd/postdoc positions and so few permanent ones.

@whatsgoodio @ETH Can you give pointers on how to sign up as a guest ? I don't need credit points, just interested in the content

[Vasco Lepori @lepovas]

@umairdurrani87 diffeqr, which is on CRAN, is a wrapper around Julia's suite of ODE solvers using JuliaCall. But it requires a Julia installation on the user's machine, so I'd say integration isn't quite as smooth as Rcpp yet. Being able to compile standalone libraries would be a gamechanger

@TimPollington @StatsForBios Yess, turning on beta did it! This is life-changing, thanks a lot😃

[Vasco Lepori @lepovas]

@StatsForBios I also have a pro account, but it shows chat, history, submit, etc. So hopefully soon. Cheers!

[Vasco Lepori @lepovas]

@StatsForBios I only have History next to Chat. Maybe they haven't rolled out this feature for everyone yet. But thanks!

[Vasco Lepori @lepovas]

@StatsForBios That's great, I'd been waiting for this. But where do you see the option?

[Vasco Lepori @lepovas]

@kjreid95 @D_Researchdson If you're looking for an open source, 1-indexed, modern language, you could also consider Julia. Smaller user base than R but rather similar in syntax and scope to Matlab. And programming in Julia is a joy!

@fo5tered @mathilebrandts Not a true pine - Araucaria are ancient relatives belonging to a different family.

[Vasco Lepori @lepovas]

@rlmcelreath Yet there seems to be more than enough plants to sustain more animals. Hairston would say the real limiting factor are carnivores. Or is it plant defenses? 🙃
