IIRC "just about any" rds and even RData files work. There are some limitations listed by the `pyreadr` package (but unsure if those stem from `libreadr` or it).
Worth a shot for `npm` methinks.

Indeed. I discovered MsgPack when working with Redis, they work well together. If you can host a Redis server (or already have one, they are "everywhere") it is also a good cache / go-between. (And see Travers and my package and paper for `RcppMsgPack`.)

An old yet open problem! ProtocolBuffers addresses it (yet uses lots of machinery, ditto Thrift). MsgPack is a lot lighter (via self-describing blobs, no code generators needed).
I like #rstats rds files, and you could try `pyreadr` for #python using

New buzzword: xkcd-driven development.
Because irony is dead: a RL driven solution for managing Python depencencies. See xkcd.com/2510/ : "I tried to train an AI to repair my Python environment but it kept giving up and deleting itself."

I lean towards taking the other side. Look at check.R, checktools.R, CRANtools.R, ... which cover a lot. I.e.
I just "discovered" `summarize_CRAN_check_status()` (which is called too at the of the main checking routine).
But twitter is the wrong place for this so I stop now.

As to 'how does CRAN ...': It's all in the open in base R. If you look ati `R CMD check`, it dispatches to `tools::check_packages()`. These are all great resources for study (and while I don't remember if I saw it write out intermediate results I recommend these for study).

If I recall correctly, the `rcmdcheck` utility package by @GaborCsardi gives you a summary object you can act upon. I have been using for ages via the `rcc.r` shell / command-line wrapper in my `littler` package (but do not act on the summary there).

Excellent hover as usual too:
P((B|A)|(A|B)) represents the probability that you'll mix up the order of the terms when using Bayesian notation.

Both girls are in town, and they made me run around the (Waterfall Glen) block.
Couldn't have asked for a nicer fall day though. Bright, sunny, 50 degrees and a breeze. More of that, please.

Overheard date in Brooklyn last night
Him: "I work on such big data sets I had to get a new computer so Excel could keep up."
Her: "If it fits in Excel, it's not a big data set."

You can store github repos in your rsync.net account by running 'git' over SSH:
rsync.net/resources/howto/gi…
There is support for LFS as well as credential stores for private repos.
You're a cron job away from immutable, independent backups of your git assets.

Congrats to Julia Eddelbuettel (@julia_edd) who just successfully defended her honors thesis in @PolicyCornell! Her thesis (on abortion policy) was also just accepted for presentation at @PopAssocAmerica.
Congrats Julia!

. @ussoccer: Let's punk El Tri by playing the game in Cinci with a modest local hispanic fanbase: Done. "Dos a Cero".
@CanadaSoccerEN: Hold my beer.
A home game in Edmonton in November? That is another level.
