This is even worse because you are working with clinical trials, which literally has impact on human lives

This article reminds me of another great article comparing R to Python: "Why pandas feels clunky when coming from R" (https://www.sumsar.net/blog/pandas-feels-clunky-when-coming-...)

The `echarts4r` [1] R package lets you create ECharts charts directly in R and render them in graphical device, Shiny apps, Rmarkdown or Quarto documents.

Completely agree, from the perspective of someone that primarily uses R/tidyverse for data wrangling, there is this great article on why Pandas API feel clunky: https://www.sumsar.net/blog/pandas-feels-clunky-when-coming-...

I don't understand why other people are hating on Kanye's music. I understand that he is not a very likeable person, but his music is damn good y'all. Especially the ones you tried :D

Maybe its because you load tidyverse, which is a library of libraries, instead of loading only what you need? It seems like an issue related to your understanding of the tidyverse rather than R.

I agree; It’s excellent for rapid prototyping, as its easy to learn/develop and time to deployment is incredibly fast, especially with Posit Connect. However, it’s not ideal for handling hundreds of concurrent users.

In R, you can build Single Page Applications with Shiny, created by Posit https://shiny.posit.co/ It is very useful, if you don't know HTML,JS,CSS and want to create an interactive dashboard, showcasing your analysis, models, visualizations, or even to create an internal tool for your organization.

It seems that reactR provides functions for building react components directly from R that can be used in Shiny apps.

Show HN: Gait – A Command Line Tool for reviewing code changes

egecant — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 19:49:46 +0000

Hey HN,

I wanted to share the open-source command line tool I built a while ago that allows you to review code changes in a git repository with chatGPT.

My personal favorite is the gait pr command, it compares the HEAD with a remote branch and generates a PR review automatically. This means you can get preliminary review by GPT-4 before even opening an actual pull request, increasing your chances of approval.

Currently it is just a prototype with minimal customization and with only a zero-shot prompt but I believe it has a huge potential, and I am open to your insights and contributions. Please feel free to try it out and give feedback!

You can install it via pip:

``` pip install gait ```
