Nice to see @crampell retweet @StatModeling on the need for replication in the week that @ReScienceEds launched!
To understand the replication crisis, imagine a world in which everything was published. andrewgelman.com/2015/09/02/…
Yes, @docker is very nice that way. This one is done by fellow Rocker hacker @cboettig so thank him!
.@eddelbuettel's hadleyverse docker image totally rocks. A instant RStudio env anywhere, no install needed! #rstats bit.ly/1NbzXjT

This looks very useful and interesting -- but could do with some R folks!
ReScience: a new journal to publish implementations of algorithms already published. github.com/ReScience/ReScien… @ReScienceEds Useful 4 science!

Yep -- there is little "data science" but a whole lot of data engineering. Or more prosaically: "data plumbing". nitter.vloup.ch/gjreda/status/63…

You can pipe commands into R directly in bash! $ sudo apt-get install littler $ echo 'cat(pi^2,"\n")' | r 9.869604
Thanks for the littler plug -- 'r' - starts faster - loads methods package - has argv[] - is easier to type :)
