    There is a quarto-webr extension to do this. A bunch of real world examples are at https://quarto-webr.thecoatlessprofessor.com/qwebr-community...

    An earlier attempt of this is http://csvy.org/ , but AFAIK it has never really caught on.

    One of the cancers they mention is pancreatic cancer. A quick Google search suggests the prevalence of pancreatic cancer in the population is 13 per 100,000. So if you gave this te…

    FWIW `scan()` is going to be much faster if you are just reading doubles from standard input than `as.numeric(readLines())`.

    While it is true that S was originally a macro layer around FORTRAN code R has always been primarily written in C. Very little of R core is in FORTRAN, and essentially none of it i…

    While the order of the walls in Super Hexagon is random, each level has a predetermined set of walls. Once you identify which wall pattern is coming you know exactly the maneuver n…

    FWIW I have been using vim with Colemak for quite a few years now, with only movie remains needed to get movement back on the home row [0] 0: https://github.com/jimhester/dotfiles/…

    Dvorak users in this thread should really give Colemak [1] a try. Dvorak has a number of issues [2] in modern usage and is also harder to learn; many more keys change from their QW…

    This is even easier to do with awk. awk -e '!a[$0]++' This also preserves the original input order, which is a nice property.

    I personally would recommend colemak [1] rather than Dvorak. While both are improvements over QWERTY colemak only moves 17 keys from their QWERTY positions, while Dvorak moves near…

    The rvest implementation was the main thing that seemed like an R port of the python implementation rather than best use of rvest. An alternate (simpler) implementation of the rves…

    This is IMHO the real benefit to zsh over bash. You can set zsh to share history between sessions and they are interleaved based on the time the commands were run. No more closing …

    Great to hear you find per-directory-history useful! (I wrote it) On the topic of the article I have per directory history going back to ~2013 when I wrote the script.
