When writing #RStats scripts I often take a look at the outcome first, before assigning it to an object. This is fine, as long the function calls are inexpensive. If they are, base R’s `.Last.value` comes in handy. It has saved me more than once from re-running expensive code.

There's a new "Containers" chapter out for my "#NixOS in Production" book In fact, I've actually published a few new chapters since I last mentioned the book on Twitter, including stuff on : - Terraform - Integration testing - CI/CD Enjoy! leanpub.com/nixos-in-produ…

the repo is now public, in case you want to see the code: github.com/kennedymwavu/m…

The EU should become a USA-style federation with a single army, a single currency (currently not every EU country uses the €), invest massively in nuclear and all kinds of industry (medication, chips...)

would someone think of the ethics?

but seriously I have heard horror stories: is your SSN your only means of identification? No mandatory federal ID card? Is it true that people can impersonate you if they find out your SSN? would really appreciate if an American friend could shed some light

An #RStats package that generates #Nix expressions to build data science pipelines should be called (other suggestions in comments)

duckreg is on pypi! (uv) pip install duckreg for wicked fast stratified regressions computed out of memory, with specialized tooling for fast event studies using the Mundlak trick. welcome bug-reports and (reasonable?) feature requests on the repo pypi.org/project/duckre…

Bruno Rodrigues (@[email protected]) anyways, would love for someone to dev an R version; Grant did a simple version of the basic estimator in a github issue.

You could read Mario Draghi's 400-page report on EU competitiveness. Or you could read the 1,250-word summary he has written for us. economist.com/by-invitation/…

As anyone following EU affairs could not avoid notice, Mario Draghi unveiled his long-awaited report today. He touched upon various issues, but digital technologies in general and AI in particular stand out as a make-it-or-break-it matter. A 🧵on what you need to know. 1/10

Don't date in the EU Bubble tonight...
