@TylerJBurch 5000+ hours of R, I always use explicit returns. I recommend to avoid early returns.

[Guillaume Loignon @softnoumenon]

@hohoaisan @DeepLcom Also, still no subscription allowed in the province of Quebec ?

[Guillaume Loignon @softnoumenon]

@rob_soko @kareem_carr But then R's dominance would be even more apparent.

[Guillaume Loignon @softnoumenon]

@SySagar2 @BenjDicken The usual answer is that C is "closer" to the processor, i.e. its compiled instructions are more similar to processor instructions, so it runs with less runtime overhead.

[Guillaume Loignon @softnoumenon]

@gremlin_sh @zack_overflow the true answer at last

[Guillaume Loignon @softnoumenon]

@DeepLcom Still not available in Quebec for individuals, though.

@ashpreetbedi @charliermarsh shiny python ?

[Guillaume Loignon @softnoumenon]

@charliermarsh libraries managed by the community à la R, in general make the ecosystem more robust so that we don't need to run a script inside 3 layers of virtualization

[Guillaume Loignon @softnoumenon]

Python is safe they say. Mistype a single library name and loose your AWS keys. https://t.co/mUhnnUfkvG

@Steve8708 I don't bother anymore, output to txt file, I convert to json/csv later. If conversion fails, I check where (usually a whole batch where the AI tried to be cute) and do what is needed (reprocess batch or fix the output).

@chazfirestone But... recent content reposted by the owner of this platform suggests that non-citizens can vote in the US ? I am confused.

@Cghlewis @nrennie35 Needs to export to Excel with a dichotomous variable replaced by highlighting colors. "I made your job easier, pass is green and fail is red, enjoy!"

[Guillaume Loignon @softnoumenon]

@stephenjwild Build with anything, use R to call the API ?

[Guillaume Loignon @softnoumenon]

dog #AI

@minzlicht @paulrconnor Was that the paper that had zombie authors cite newer papers ?

[Guillaume Loignon @softnoumenon]

@bayesianboy Do you have a pdf of that ?

[Guillaume Loignon @softnoumenon]

@erikjamesmason Your excel guy is my BI guy.

[Guillaume Loignon @softnoumenon]

@gdmorejon He was just getting cosy near the fire.

[Guillaume Loignon @softnoumenon]

@rmkubinec I use both and I'm not that excited about positron for now.
