Good article. Some smaller changes you could make to the final function: In the last line `as.data.frame(do.call(cbind, out_list))` is used to convert the list to a data.frame. Passing it to `cbind` converts the list to a matrix (i.e. combi

I think “pay” is commonly understood to mean monetary, not adjusted for location, risk, time, or transportation cost, and understood to be stated in terms of total rather than hourly. Saying people are accepting lower pay to work remotely s

The options are not "must walk to this place at this specific time" and "never do any exercise or take a break during your day". This type of dichotomy is drawn in so much of the back-to-office discussion. Mandating some

How can you write an entire article about how hiring is difficult in some field, and only mention salary in a short parenthetical with no concrete numbers? (“salaries have risen in some cities by as much as 10 percent”)

I hadn't thought of that tradeoff. After testing just now, if you have a column named `.data` or `.env` those constructs work as if there was no such column, and actually in that case `mutate(df, b = .data + 1)` is an error. Personally

To reference variables in the outer scope, you would do mutate(df, b = .env$a + 1) And if you have a string (contained in a_var) which identifies a variable you can do mutate(df, b = .data[[a_var]] + 1) You could argue the

The discussion around zoom becomes a lot less ridiculous when you see the video still they wanted to zoom in on. The prosecution wanted to zoom in in this video for the jury and argue Kyle was raising his gun and not his arm at that point

Not sure it’s possible to know the answer without more context. What do they use the averages for? What do you think they should do instead and why is it better?

Being in check means it’s your move and the pieces are positioned so that if it was your opponent’s move they could capture your king. So, to “remain in check” would mean to make a move which still allows your opponent to capture your king.

Even if it were possible, I don't think there's a way to do it in a way that would make any sense. Would we set up an AI now and then forever use the same one? In that case people will learn any small quirks of the AI and optimize

The problem is that humans don't play that way, by evaluating a tree a few moves ahead and selecting from that. Humans use conscious heuristics and unconscious intuitions to make their moves that would be hard for a computer to mimic.
