Something that isn’t PTSD inducing would be better lol
What wisdom! Thank you senior dev person
Always enjoyed spyder for its variable explorer.
Thanks!
You can specify version numbers in renv, you take snapshots of your dependencies into a lock file and can always restore from there or make a new snapshot.
Not really relevant but just to note packrat had been soft-deprecated and is superseded by renv, which comes standard with rstudio.

lol that’s actually a great point though, valid criticism should be celebrated.

Hey I replied to your comment in the other thread to address your point.
Re:Trump downplays Russian-linked cyberattack on U.S. on Sunday December 20, 2020 @04:14PM (#25489574)
Right I saw that but his statement was rather short and vague, my point is I haven’t seen them directly cite how it was Russia. Microsoft beautifully described the attack itself in a blog post recently, I’m pretty ignorant with cyber security but I wonder why they can’t show the connection to Russia with more rigor.
Re:Trump downplays Russian-linked cyberattack on U.S. on Sunday December 20, 2020 @03:27PM (#25489239)
Not a Trump supporter, but I’ve been trying to find direct evidence as to this attack being from Russia and I haven’t found anything beyond speculative statements. Even if this attack isn’t from Russia, they’re the best country the US can blame because there are no political repercussions if they’re wrong. We don’t conduct any trade with them (unlike China) and have already laid down heavy sanctions.

So far I haven’t seen any evidence that this attack points to Russia beyond speculative statements. I understand the US looks weak if it doesn’t call someone out though, as the fireye report indicates a nation state was behind this attack. If the US blames China -> political suicide, Iran -> war, Russia -> no consequence.... We are both each others bogeymen.
I mean posting a solution regardless if it is accepted still provides utility for others stumbling across the post.

I have like 3 karma on my stackoverflow profile but most of my questions get answered provided it’s tagged well and is formatted well.

This! This is saved me so many times when I’ve exhausted stackoverflow.
Re:Bored? How about trying a Linux speed run? on Thursday April 16, 2020 @04:19PM (#22893091)
Heh nice, I don’t know if you like sports but climbing is really fun. Each climbing problem is pretty similar to figuring out a programming problem: breaking something down into sub problems, figuring out how to do each one, and then knitting it all together! This is something I like to do for fun :)

What kind of stuff would you do for fun?
Awesome work! I’m a big fan of fuzzywuzzy so I’ll be checking this out:) Currently I’m split between using fuzzy logic in my backend python code as opposed to it being built into a sql statement (via SOUNDEX() which does matching based on phonetic similarity).

If you want to look at data frames as you run sections of your code you will have to use r markdown chunks.

Absolutely love bone marrow. Pretty rare I get to eat it though.

This sounds familiar
That’s amazing. Reminds of a personal finance class I took where we played a stock trading simulation based on prices from the actual market. One of my friends edited the HTML on the games page to make it look like he made millions. Teacher almost bought that one.
Appreciate you sharing your perspective. I remember a friend of mine in middle/high school would load games onto the schools networked drives. It seems IT played the games too because they never did anything about it.
Ah ok I thought you meant using water as a medium for stimulation with gel electrodes. But yeah sadly I know exactly what you mean, I’ve had to clean a lot of gel electrodes.
Re:Machine Learning That’s Light Enough for an Arduino on Friday August 02, 2019 @12:52AM (#20590722)
You know the make arduinos with cortex processor right? Arduino primo, blue fruit nrf52,...
Warm water for sponge electrodes? I can’t imagine water being helpful for gel electrodes.
Very fun game! I cheered when I got my first square.
Not sure how you interpreted that as the point he/she was trying to make.
