Could not agree less. Ive always found SQL an unreadable mess but tools like polars and dplyr are such elegant ways to manipulate data. Pandas is a mess though.

Disappointed to see how many of the comments here are fairly negative. Especially for a site that so values true open source. While this isn't the ereader for me (I need a larger screen and buttons), I absolutely love the idea and pass

Your comment is just another flavour of various fallacies christrians trot out i.e., whats stopping you raping and murdering without the bibles moral framework And your also trying to twist my words in the opposite direction. I'm here

Also, from your comment > "marry and enjoy sex" is what Paul is trying to say This is your interpretation and shows your own bias. I read it as "you must have consent from your partner to withhold your body from them"

Funny how my view that 'your body belongs to yourself and no one else' doesn't require study and cross-referencing and other passages to understand.

Describing my interpretation of a passage that quite literally says "your body belongs to someone else" as a 'worst possible reading' would be comically hilarious if not for the rather sinister undertones. Your interpret

I do notice the symmetry. It is saying that each of them can use the others body as they like, without regard for the other. But that's fine, because they can do it right back. A progressive system is not built off "I'll do w

Searched for "sexual exploration". One of the results i got returned was from corinthians and read: The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his

In my experience, business people are chomping at the bit to build and manage the ops for their apps, but it's always an "IT Operating Model" that is thrown back at them

This is something that Palantir Foundry supports extremely well. Its data layer is built around the idea that anytime you're making a change, you make a branch, build on branch, only data you modified is copied to the branch, and then

Couldn't agree more. R and dplyrs ability to pass column names as unquoted objects actually reduces cognitive load for new people so much (pure anecdata, nothing to back this up except lots of teaching people). And that's on top o

Let's say that you want to know who your largest customer is, both by order value and volume. I could either: 1. Prompt my agent and deal with writing the prompt, waiting for the agent to sift through all the data (which would be massi

I enjoyed reading this but felt like it missed a few of the points on why a lot of companies are indexing heavily on the context layer. 1. While AI is capable of driving massive value, chatbots are very rarely the solution 2. You need much

Say I have a dataframe called 'penguins' I can write code like: penguin_sizes <- select(penguins, weight, height) Here, weight and height are columns inside the dataframe. But I can refer to them as if they were objects in the

The mistake here is having an architect who is not shipping product. Architects who's job it is to define 'rules' and 'patterns' without actually impending anything are almost always a bad idea. Just focus on shippi

I love R and am always excited about tools for R but I immediately get suspicious when I see things like: > RMCP has been tested with real-world scenarios achieving 100% success rate:

Possibly. I think R is actually easier to learn for people who have never studied or done programming before. 1. It's easier to get up and running as RStudio is much more 'batteries included' than other popular IDEs, it'

I strongly think that R has outgrown just having statistics as its killer feature. The killer feature of R is data analysis I have yet to see any software that rivals dplyr, data.table, and ggplot2 in the balance of power and ease of use.

Very cool! Are you planning for there to be a corresponding R package that exposes the high level commands? The popularity of the usethis package really showed the power of keeping people within the R interpreter rather than going back and

Drugs or not, your comment was rude and condescending. And trying to brush it off as people being 'sensitive' doesn't change it being rude and condescending

Totally agree. PySpark, dplyr, or polars any day

How are you measuring 'nice'? How are you measuring 'performant'? My assumption would be that if you haven't seen anything, even from the creator, then you just have different expectations to the people who do get

I was a Masters student when Brit was finishing off her PhD. Awesome scientist and very cool person. So glad to see her continuing in this space! NIWA is also just a very cool place in general. Have really liked everyone I've met from
