When a data scientist falls in the forest, do we hear it? ♻ @drewconway: still far from consensus on what 'data scientist' actually is/does
The path back to sanity is via proper interfaces. ♻ @fbahr: @eddelbuettel Lesson 2 (from practice): Legacy code doesn't care abt lesson 1

Don't do arrays, do STL containers which also frees you from pointers + memory mgmt ♻ @fbahr: C++ arrays, pointers & me = no fit.

digest 0.5.1 now on CRAN, with support for 'raw' output thanks to Bryan Lewis, more at goo.gl/aMih5 #rstats
The new Pandora, all dressed up in Html5, is looking snazzy! Oh, and no 40h/month listening cap. Neato.

df - colMeans(df) #doReadDocs ♻ @wesmckinn: @joshua_ulrich Wow, in R df - mean(df) where df is a data.frame produces...garbage? #donotwant

Not at all in R with zoo + xts. Did you mean pandas?♻ @wesmckinn: @eddelbuettel @joshua_ulrich Row names and time index are the same thing.

Not row names but time index. And xts has rich ops on that ♻ @wesmckinn: @joshua_ulrich Yes, but zoo only uses the row names for alignment.

Use CRAN package random to access random.org numbers :) ♻ @cmastication @mikeloukides Practice random acts of randomness http://random.org

The better ones may be by Romain or Doug :) ♻ @siah: Reading some of @eddelbuettel's sample codes for #Rcpp helped my C++ skills. #rstats
Minor bug-fix release 0.1.4 of littler, which is everybody's favourite command-line front-end to #rstats, uploaded. goo.gl/xMOrl
Your answer was unrelated to the (narrower) question. ♻ @hadleywickham: What's wrong with advertising a workflow that I think is good?
Kirk is my circles so he should see it. Drew's link worked for me. ♻ @drewconway: @NPHard ahh I bet the thread is not fully public, sorry
Maybe 'restraint' for focused answer to R(-)Forge without an ad for github? Oh. wait.... ♻ @joshua_ulrich: @hadleywickham tenacity? :)
