I'm surprised R doesn't already have ternary operators... especially since they added anonymous functions somewhat recently.

Here's my prettier --- but probably an awful idea --- take on the user-implemented ternary operator.

Anybody have a link to the clip of Feynman that Dorothy is referring to at 20:30?

Is this exclusively on spotify? It didn't show up when i searched it on my usual podcast platform.

That did work! I had no idea u could get around paywalls so easily :/

I hit my free article limit :(

Is there a gift link for this article?

Also, this panel is titled "top 15 AI methods" and includes PCA, logistic regression, and nearest neighbours!?

I'm so confused...

I don't work in data science... So maybe im just missing details... But i don't have any idea what this study consideres to be an "AI-augmented" paper (which is kind of the most important detail).

As much as i hate this... Almost every scientist i know uses chatGPT (i don't).

I think the overwheling demand for tools like this is indicitive of the broader problems we have in science.

ya, I was pretty confused when I skimmed the journal description... it seemed to blur the lines between preprint and peer-reviewed articles in a confusing way. I'd be curious to know why the authors opted for this journal.

Is there a gift link for the article?

What exactly does the public engagement committee do?

I would say squash it. A messy private history may just distract from the much more important public history. Users would only be interested in changes since they have started using the repo, right?

i struggle to imagine why anyone would be interested in reading commit messages from a time before they had access to a repo.

Of course. And libraries written in fortran are still in use today... But how on earth is this ranking higher than matlab?

The ranking metric takes into account searches... So this suggests a vast number of ppl are still actively learning and using it, which is wild to me.
