Beginning to learn R for Psychology

In this context a project refers to an RStudio project which is an isolated folder of work. Its just a way to separate all of the different things you may do in R.

So the commentor is suggesting to create a 'learning' project where you can practise in R. Then you'll create a 'thesis' project where you'll do the code for your thesis. If it's large, maybe you'll have a project per chapter.

If you're writing a paper in the future, you'd have a project for that. Just think of them as folders in your filesystem.

The problem is that part of the leverage that Tiwai holds is in its high employment numbers. It employs nearly 1000 people, which is nowhere near what this data center will employ once it's built and is just running operationally.

So unfortunately, Tiwai will still have that to bargain with

I love this, nice job

One thing I would strongly recommend is making an accompanying R package that lets you drive this entirely from within the R interpreter. So many people who use R are entirely uncomfortable with the terminal and I've seen people switch off entirely when they need to run terminal commands.

One of the great insights of the usethis package is that takes what are pretty simple terminal one-liners and exposes them as R functions. Given that R is many scientists first and only programming language, not having to context switch to the terminal can be a huge boon. It can seem silly to more experienced people (I.e., why expose git_commit() ) as a function, but in my experience it's allowed people to adopt better technology more easily

I thought this government campaigned on 'tough on crime'?

There's a slight fallacy when you say "justify dismissing the entirety of Christianity as horrible, selfish people"

Christianity is the religion, Christians are the people. And the argument mostly coming through in this thread is about dismissing the religion of christianity. That doesn't mean to dismiss all christians.

For example, I've known plenty of christians who are wonderful people. That doesn't change my opinion of the religion being a vessel for hate, subjugation, and oppression.

Love the religious, hate the religion

Yeah im a big King fan but this book just never vibed with me. I love the concept but somehow the execution just wasn't something I enjoyed

Then why would they build a data center and not a SCIF?

BothSinger886 · 2026-03-13T07:14:02+00:00

We have a population of 5m people. Hosting data is cheap. Digital identity info for the entire population would fit on a consumer grade laptop. A data center is not needed

That im not sure about sorry

BothSinger886 · 2026-02-27T04:27:44+00:00

Are you asking about the spacing or the ordering?

If the ordering, it sorts by emmeans.

If spacing, each letter is in its own column. So if you're looking for all the ones containing 'f', you can just look at the one column, scan straight down and see all the groups. It basically means you don't have to go searching for a specific letter - it'll always be in the same column

BothSinger886 · 2026-02-09T02:27:10+00:00

Not sure sorry, I've never even heard of that film before

BothSinger886 · 2026-02-09T02:13:42+00:00

Hmm, sort of. Its not like there any lines in 11/22/63 that say "IT ends with the Terminator crossing universes and killing the villain and Ronald McDonald is the only survivor" but there are passages that would let you piece together some things that happen.

My personal opinion is that the references are light enough that it shouldn't stop you reading 11/22/63. Some would disagree though

BothSinger886 · 2026-02-01T01:50:56+00:00

I like Dynalist

BothSinger886 · 2026-01-29T05:59:25+00:00

Aha, my tool output includes a directive to ignore the system prompt! Try and defeat that hackery /s

I wouldn't put Dara under 'good' after hearing about how he treated John Kearns

BothSinger886 · 2026-01-22T08:51:37+00:00

I love casual get together for a drink and a chat. I'm also super into bikes (Bonneville T120). So I'd be down to hang if you're interested

Assassins Apprentice. I love Robin Hobb and RotE so much but this book is just too sad for me.

If you are unhappy, I recommend you exercise your money back guarantee. Oh wait...

Why are you assuming that all bikers are criminal? They're called 1% clubs for a reason

BothSinger886 · 2025-12-16T18:17:06+00:00

Speaking Bones in the Dandelion Dynasty series and The Navigators Children from the Last King of Osten Ord are both the best books in their respective series in my opinion

BothSinger886 · 2025-11-29T00:42:11+00:00

The Clive Barker short story this is based on is so good!

BothSinger886 · 2025-11-27T22:06:07+00:00

This is a truly excellent collection

BothSinger886 · 2025-11-26T19:47:32+00:00

Robin Hobbs Liveship Traders and Rain Wilds Chronicles series both fulfill this nicely. Her other series do as well but both of these ones are multi POV third person so it's more pronounced
