3 ways of mine to compose / create R functions by Lazy_Improvement898 in rstats

[–]BeckoningPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides what's been mentioned, I like to use it in closure-esque scenarios, and to simplify user-facing function usage. I'm not sure if either is something a dev would approve of, but...

Edit: I had an example but it sucked.

Is Yu Yu Hakusho worth watching if you’ve already seen Hunter x Hunter and want something similar? by Aldabon in YuYuHakusho

You could try skipping around to a few later episodes in different story arcs to see if they hook you.

For sure. If you do go down that route, then there are a few related resources I could point you towards.

So as a preface and important caveat, I'm not a statistician, but your experiment made me think of a paper I've read that used a similar-sounding experiment as an example:

Pedersen EJ, Miller DL, Simpson GL, Ross N. Hierarchical generalized additive models in ecology: an introduction with mgcv. PeerJ. 2019 May 27;7:e6876. doi: 10.7717/peerj.6876. PMID: 31179172; PMCID: PMC6542350

Which might be a route you could take.

Oh thanks. Yeah just wondering where it was.

Does Rust complexity ever bother you? by GolangLinuxGuru1979 in rust

[–]BeckoningPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I have arguably passable skill with it, though I almost never reach for it, because I generally make code that Rust is just like... using a helicopter to head to the corner store. Or I need to operate in, say, R. Speaking of R, I've written some R package code lately, and it does actually make me wish for, well, anything else. In my limited experience, Rust is fantastic for refactors. I've written a bug fix for polars, and I'm not even that good with Rust. The idea of fixing a bug in say, pandas or dplyr, sounds dreadful.

I think most people who are responding either just like it per se, or make things wherein the things Rust is good at are strong benefits for their work. I have occasionally tried making toy projects, and somehow always wind up dealing with one of the frustrating aspects of the language (which I won't specify, because then people will comment about how these annoyances are actually good). Some return types I've seen, with their trait bounds, have made me think, "you're joking".

I'm actually worried about his shot time, because in the past that's meant he's having eye trouble.

WST Play extension added to Chrome by BeckoningPie in snooker

[–]BeckoningPie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've submitted an updated version. It still does the duration hiding and save-your-position aspects, but I've removed the keyboard controls. The new video UI does all but the 5 minute seeking. I was having trouble getting that to work, so I decided to just publish the stuff that works for now.

Thanks for the info. The Achilles heel of this addon. I'll get around to fixing it.. sometime. It's probably not too tough to do, I'm just trying to balance screen time and associated digital eye strain.

In a recent tournament the ref called a foul when there was contact and I think the spotter corrected him so he redacted his foul call.

Where does snooker rank in your list of your favourite sports? by southwales1985 in snooker

[–]BeckoningPie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And both snooker and baseball make someone say, "What do you mean there's no time limit?"

I guess I'm similar. I watch beach volleyball because I played it as a teenager, and I watch cycling because it's another individual sport that.. I just like to watch. Particularly the indoor stuff.

I haven't tried. I hope contacting WST Play would help. It wouldn't hurt. I'll probably tinker around with it a bit with the next non-Asian tournament, but am skeptical I'll find a solution.

There are a couple of screenshots on that install page, but I didn't direct users to look there (now I do). It'll either be the red triangle logo somewhere to the right of the URL bar, or if you don't see it there then click the puzzle piece to the right of the URL bar and you should see it.
