The R community has been hard at work on small data. I still highly prefer working on on memory data in R dplyr DataTable are elegant and fast.

The CRan packages are all high quality if the maintainer stops responding to emails for 2 months your package is automatically removed. Most packages come from university Prof's that have been doing this their whole career.

You can't have a bank account without a gov approved money manager account so you can't really self host it.

Also you can't on offramp crypto without a counter party will to make the trade ( liquidity )

Catchy title but I doubt it works was also vibecoded so I'd be extremely surprised if it works as advertised

Sounds like sponsored content. Every other review I have read people say they go back to laptop because the text fidelity, eye strain and keyboard on lap is just the best productivity setup

I have not found a single prof that thinks the trend have having higher and higher % of university staff be administrators is a good thing.

I wonder if it is possible for them to connect funding to a maximum allowed ratio of admin to prof / lectures

Don't see this happening scientists are totally happy installing R or Matlab etc. Often a lab even sticks with windows b/c of some drivers for a sensor that only exists for windows
