Something that isn’t PTSD inducing would be better lol


What wisdom! Thank you senior dev person


Always enjoyed spyder for its variable explorer.


Thanks!


You can specify version numbers in renv, you take snapshots of your dependencies into a lock file and can always restore from there or make a new snapshot.


Not really relevant but just to note packrat had been soft-deprecated and is superseded by renv, which comes standard with rstudio.


lol that’s actually a great point though, valid criticism should be celebrated.


Not a Trump supporter, but I’ve been trying to find direct evidence as to this attack being from Russia and I haven’t found anything beyond speculative statements. Even if this attack isn’t from Russia, they’re the best country the US can blame because there are no political repercussions if they’re wrong. We don’t conduct any trade with them (unlike China) and have already laid down heavy sanctions.


Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed Russia.


Right I saw that but his statement was rather short and vague, my point is I haven’t seen them directly cite how it was Russia. Microsoft beautifully described the attack itself in a blog post recently, I’m pretty ignorant with cyber security but I wonder why they can’t show the connection to Russia with more rigor.

But the US isn't blaming Russia, the media is.

Mike Pompeo isn't Secretary of State of CNN.


So far I haven’t seen any evidence that this attack points to Russia beyond speculative statements. I understand the US looks weak if it doesn’t call someone out though, as the fireye report indicates a nation state was behind this attack. If the US blames China -> political suicide, Iran -> war, Russia -> no consequence.... We are both each others bogeymen.

Hey I replied to your comment in the other thread to address your point.


I mean posting a solution regardless if it is accepted still provides utility for others stumbling across the post.

I have like 3 karma on my stackoverflow profile but most of my questions get answered provided it’s tagged well and is formatted well.
