R Project Updates
Updates from R Core:
Some
as.data.frame()
methods, notably thematrix
one, are now more careful in not accepting duplicated orNA
row names, and by default produce unique non-NA row names. This is based onrow.names(x, make.names = *) <- rNms
wheremake.names
is a new logical, with back compatible default.par*apply
andpar*applyLB
gain an optional argumentchunk.size
which allows to specify the granularity of scheduling.parLapplyLB
andparSapplyLB
have been fixed to do load balancing (dynamic scheduling). This also means that results of computations depending on random number generators will now really be non-reproducible, as documented.

Here's the evolution of Irish Population density 1841->2002 on a DED level. You can see the devastating impact of the Famine, the gradual thinning of the rural population and the late-20th c. suburban sprawl #history #ireland #rstats pic.twitter.com/SOwSyHvPIN

Dear Past Me,
— Ezra Brooks (@ezbrooks) March 9, 2018
Thank you for:
* documenting your code.
* standardizing menial tasks in Bash & #rstats scripts.
* using version control.
* using makefiles.
I pledge to continue this behavior for Future Me, & for anyone else who needs to make changes to my projects.
Day in my #rstats life:

0930: How lucky I am to work on clean datasets curated by true professionals.
1330: Huh. Some inconsistencies here. No bigs. I'll just write up some quick and dirty regex to clean this up.
1720: I WILL BURN THIS HERETICAL DATA CENTER AND SCATTER ITS ASHES
