Idk have done advent of code day 1-15 in Rust now and I think it’s an interesting language but most of the type casting feels like security theatre on par with TSA

The (native R) bioinformatician's urge to use @eddelbuettel's littler (dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/l…) to programmatically calculate genome index sizes in a pipeline because the expression contains a log and I know the syntax in R and don't want to mess with figuring it out in NF/groovy

Markets and empirical science measurements need Nanosecond resolution @eddelbuettel R #rstats nanotime handler: github.com/eddelbuettel/nano… Since Python 3.7 the time.time_ns() function returns nanoseconds as an integer since the epoch (but accuracy depends on OS & hardware)

Replying to @WileyResearch @eddelbuettel @mcmc_stan @paulbuerkner
Particularly fun project as it was my first serious time using Rcpp in a package and after some early teething, I'm so impressed how smooth it is to write and link C++ functions in R.

Another STAT 447 is in the books, and a big thank you and congratulations to all students. Group projects were impressive (see below). Been thinking about "external" project topics for Data Science Programming Methods, may open a GH repo. Get in touch if interested. #rstats
