There are many ways to process larger than RAM objects in R.

The dbplyr package makes it possible to use a local db table as if they are in-memory data frames (https://dbplyr.tidyverse.org/).

https://diskframe.com/ is also a pretty great solution that processes data by chunks.

Re:Translation Marketplace idea, does this exist? on Tuesday November 05, 2013 @07:29AM (#6674680)
Hi,

Yes there are at least a dozen services like this (prominent players : textmaster.com, gengo.com). Some specialize in translation, other offer a wider range of language services (editing, copy-writing).

There might be some space left in some very specific technical translation niches though. Also there probably are some opportunities to creatively use the APIs provided by textmaster/gengo to create/improve other type of products.
