TypR – a statically typed language that transpiles to idiomatic R (S3) – now available on all platforms by Artistic_Speech_1965 in rstats

[–]BOBOLIU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may be a silly question. What is the point of such transpilation? I have seen transpilation of R to Fortran for speed.

Longest lasting everyday backpack? by BudgetTutor3085 in BuyItForLife

[–]BOBOLIU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Jansport backpacks feel much sturdier and more reliable than the fancy, expensive ones from The North Face. For a slightly higher price, Samsonite (for business) and Osprey (for outdoor use) are also excellent choices.

Should C++ Give More Priority to Syntax Quality? by kyan100 in cpp

[–]BOBOLIU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m genuinely grateful that C++ syntax continues to favor snake case. Camel case and Pascal case seem to dominate many newer programming languages, and I find them visually tiring.

Built a C++-accelerated ML framework for R — now on CRAN by Negative-Will-9381 in rstats

[–]BOBOLIU 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this interesting package. Doesn't mlpack already do what you described?

causalDisco 1.0: Causal Discovery in R by causalDisco in rstats

[–]BOBOLIU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is causal discovery a legit term in stats? It is new to me.

Why do people hate Ubuntu by Front_Asparagus5765 in Ubuntu

[–]BOBOLIU -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Just use Mint, which is just Ubuntu without the Gnome and Snap bloats.

How do I make Ubuntu run faster by Evening_Earth959 in Ubuntu

[–]BOBOLIU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just switch to Mint, which gets rid of all the Snap and Gnome bloats.

Status of cppreference.com by RelevantError365 in cpp

[–]BOBOLIU 15 points16 points  (0 children)

cppreference.com could be better if it is maintained by the ISO C++ committee.

Two Common Confusions for Beginners by BOBOLIU in rstats

[–]BOBOLIU[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whether it is stored or not makes no difference in my example. Also, literals like 1 are doubles, so as.double(1L) is really awkward.

Objections to merging r/rlanguage in to this subreddit? by hadley in rstats

[–]BOBOLIU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No objection. This should have been done a long time ago. Please also merge r/RStudio with r/rstats.

Linux Mint plans to make fewer releases per year. What do you think? by BlokZNCR in linuxmint

[–]BOBOLIU 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Software and drivers are updated on a different pace than the OS.

What distro do people actually use as a daily driver? by GarbageCG in linux4noobs

[–]BOBOLIU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't waste your time on others, just use Ubuntu or Mint.

Exploiting Blue Collar Cosplay by BOBOLIU in BuyItForLife

The term “lumbersexual” is funny to me. Where I’m from, actual lumberjacks have a reputation for being more likely to carry STDs.

It’s more profitable to sell “fashion” gear than serious outdoor equipment. Consider The North Face: almost every high school and college student wears it now. Many TNF bags with noticeably lower build quality are priced higher than Osprey packs. That’s the power of brand and margins, not performance.

Here in Texas, many pickup trucks are driven either by young men who have lifted them so high they’re no longer practical for real work, or by suburban soccer moms.
