On page ↋: "Did you ever wonder just what the number system would be like if man had been created with 12 fingers?" (and an illustration).

With the advent of modern AI tools, this question has never been more important.

Hmm? I was referring to blubber's claim that "established packages have bugs caused by R weirdness."

I do.

And I'm still waiting for your examples of "established R packages with bugs caused by R weirdness".

Care to give some examples?

Little would prevent attacks by APTs and other powerful groups. (This, btw., is one of the few facets of this problem that technology could help solve.) But a trivial change: a hard requirement to sign up (=send a human-composed message to one of the moderators) to be able to participate (or, in extreme cases, to read the contents) "automagically" stops almost all spam, scrapers (in the extreme case), vandalism, etc. (from my personal experience based on a rather large sample).

I think it's one of the multi-faceted problems where technology (a "moat", "palisade", etc. for your "tribe") should accompany social changes.

"Socialists"* argue for more regulations; "liberals" claim that there should be financial incentives to not do that.

I'm neither. I believe that we should go back to being "tribes"/communities. At least it's a time-tested way to – maybe not prevent, but somewhat allieviate – the tragedy of the commons.

(I'm aware that this is a very poor and naive theory; I'll happily ditch it for a better idea.)

It's not a laughing matter. How else will you repel bugs from your bed?

It's not a dichotomy. Stand on the shoulders of giants, sure, but don't pretend you're one of them.

The `6` is the code, I just put the first thing that came to my mind there :D In my example, if you replace it with a more sophisticated code block, R will evaluate it and print out the result of the evaluation.

Typically, you'd want to parse the unevaluated code, though:

    > `if` = function(a, b) { print(substitute(a)); print(substitute(b)) }
    > if (foo) { print("bar") }
    foo
    {
        print("bar")
    }

It overwrites `if`, in the current scope, of course.

In R:

    > `if` = function(a, b) { print(a); print(b) }
    > if (2 < 5) { 6 }
    [1] TRUE
    [1] 6

(Rye also looks like a nice language, though!)

OP, one small correction: the abbreviation of "long non-coding RNAs" is lncRNA (lowercase "L"), not "IncRNA".
