Our organization looks similar: models are almost all written in R but the business operates in C#. We just use simple HTTP APIs to intermediate. Specifically, we do the following: 1. Use R packages to bundle up the models with a consistent

Most of these tidyverse vs. data.table arguments end up sounding a bit irrelevant to me. They tend to focus on syntax, which is largely down to preference, or performance, which is really only important once in a while. And they seem oddly

I'm in a similar boat, using base R, data.table, or tidyverse as needed. But over time I've found that I respect, more and more, the good decisions that have been made in base R.

Absolutely. I usually respond to the "R-is-not-a-real-language" line with something like "R is syntactic sugar on a Lisp where the atoms are APL arrays". It's plenty interesting from a computer science perspective,

This is attractive in theory but it's a bit difficult to do in practice. Usually the places with the worst comparative odds are also quite aggressive in banning sharp accounts (including any proxy accounts you'd set up as this riv

In practice these outfits have accounts at large Asian sportsbooks (which don't bother to ban sharps) or at Pinnacle (which has traditionally welcomed them). Even setting aside the risk of being banned, successful syndicates are unlike

This is only true in major metro areas -- that is, Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto. Most smaller cites/towns or rural regions are far less tolerant. (In fact, differential enforcement by regional police departments was one of the more
