Seconded. MT @dansinker Chicago media: Put a daily body count on your front pages. Make this inescapable for those in power.

Adorably math-nerdy! MT Triskaidekaphilia, or 13 Reasons Why 2013 Might Rule --> wp.me/p24iDE-6d @colgateuniv @HuffingtonPost #NYE2013

@yow_oz @JohnDCook The compiler discussion is also surprisingly incomplete. Try the byte compiler, and look at Justin Talbot's work.
@yow_oz @JohnDCook More nonsense 4 mins. R is perfect for scripting, see littler or now Rscript. Thousands use that daily.
@yow_oz @JohnDCook Using "Excel/VBA" for a comparison immediately disqualifies you. See @portfolioprobe (P. Burns) on spreadsheet addiction.
@yow_oz @JohnDCook Next error a few seconds later. "Art of R Programming" was easily the 3rd or 4th dedicated programming book.
@yow_oz @JohnDCook Blatant error just 3 mins in. The code 'a_b <- 3.14' is perfectly valid.

@mattyglesias Netflix provides useful speed summary tests based on their extensive streaming. blog.netflix.com/2012/12/nov…
NY Times gamifies an article on gamification: goo.gl/4GmJ7 -- clearly, to understand recursion you have to understand recursion.

@geospacedman Thanks, corrected. Increasing coffee intake as I type...
Interesting: R-devel now gives us .onDetach(). goo.gl/pBTct #rstats
.@ProbablePattern @geospacedman From the wild guess dept: it your BLAS not R. But as we can't reproduce.... #rstats
