I have a dream that one day all students and researchers will forget what "formatting a paper" even means. I have a dream that one day journals and grad schools no longer have style guides. I have a dream that one day no missing $ is inserted, and \hbox is never overfull.

An abbreviation (ABB) in a journal article (JA) is rarely worth the words it saves. Every ABB requires cognitive resources (CR) and at my age by the time I'm halfway through a JA I no longer have the CR to remember what your ABB stood for.

A few advanced `furrr` examples too good not to share!
- Start 2 EC2 instances
- Connect to them from R
- Run `future_map()` on them to parallel process with AWS!
- Bonus multi-level future call (2 instances + 4 CPUs on each instance = ~8x speedup)

“What is your greatest weakness?”

“Answering the semantics of a question while ignoring the pragmatics provided by context.”

“Interesting. Could you give me an example?”

“Yes.”

This week Betsy DeVos said schools should obey the law and call ICE on any undocumented students.

The LAW, actually says the exact opposite...

In 1982, the Supreme Court ruled in Plyler v. Doe that it is illegal for Schools to deny education to a child based on immigrant status

If you have used kableExtra before, I recommend you to update it to 0.9.0 as you no longer need to specify `format` any more. See https://t.co/BD86cqgDgX for details #rstats
