#rstats is faster than you think! To prove it, I ray-shaded mountains with plain R faster than with `rayshader::ray_shade` (C++). Blog post: brodieg.com/2018/10/23/do-no…, cc @tylermorganwall, @wuoulf.

Thanks for revisiting 'loading directories / transforming files'. Fourteen months ago I had riffed about that too in a short lightning talk jokingly called "R for System Administration" -- slides are below. And unsurprisingly data.table wins. Again. dirk.eddelbuettel.com/papers…
How to import a directory of csvs at once with base R and data.table? And guess which way is the fastest and how they compare to the tidyverse? jozefhajnala.gitlab.io/r/r00… #rstats #DataScience

Excellent news by @TheEconomist says this multi-decade subscriber! #rstats (@_R_Foundation ), #python (@ThePSF), #git (@github) are excellent choices, and the time has never been better for Open Data and Reproducibility!
We’ve always identified our sources, but sometimes that’s not enough. That’s why @TheEconomist is releasing the data and code behind our stories. medium.economist.com/peeling…

.@eddelbuettel kindly created a "Getting started in R" #rstats guide translating the original from #tidyverse to #rdatatable. Nice light introduction to tinyverse thinking and data.table 👍🏾
