    It's not a dichotomy. Stand on the shoulders of giants, sure, but don't pretend you're one of them.

    The `6` is the code, I just put the first thing that came to my mind there :D In my example, if you replace it with a more sophisticated code block, R will evaluate it and print ou…

    In R: > `if` = function(a, b) { print(a); print(b) } > if (2 (Rye also looks like a nice language, though!)

    Night Watch is really dark. Also, The Monstrous Regiment. But the books I love the most are the ones with an "Alistair MacLean vibe" to them: Thud! (MacLean's Fear is the Key ) and…

    Certainly not underrated, but I'd say RNA engineering [1]. Now that we have the theoretical knowledge of the many types of non-coding RNA (that we previously considered "junk") and…
