Neat! @rOpenSci is on the binary battle page! mendeley.com/blog/highlight…
@jebyrnes @JacquelynGill vi? oy vey. or oy vi rather.
@JacquelynGill I would not recommend using R's built in editor.
@JacquelynGill or go with a text editor like Text Wrangler (syntax highlighting etc) or if you're hardcore, emacs with keyboard bindings.
@JacquelynGill R Commander is really dated at this point. Use Rstudio (nice IDE with great features not found elsewhere).
@recology_ @ethanwhite or nothing wouldn't do all that much to help the cause.
@recology_ @ethanwhite Sure but isn't that like saying you're with us or against us? Given current mindset of most sci, asking them to all
mbeisen Peer review is f***ed up – let’s fix it shar.es/bZl0B
eddelbuettel JJ clarified (in private mail) that the newest RStudio does multicore just fine. Even better! ♻ @chlalanne @eddelbuettel @DataJunkie #rstats

arielwaldman I kind of hope speakerdeck.com replaces SlideShare. SO much more simple, easy to use and just plain better.

I now have a huge crush on the DataONE R package. @DataONEorg #AHM2011
Best. Abstract. Ever. arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/pape…
Awful graphs and an awful table: biostat.wisc.edu/~kbroman/topte… #visualization
@jranganathan @jebyrnes It better have Cthulhu in it or I will be very disappointed.
@carlystrasser @DataONEorg He keeps referring to a plugin but I think he means package #AHM2011
@carlystrasser I like mouapp.com and iawriter.com as editors & pandjohnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/pllH as command-line tool to parse.
@carlystrasser Yeah, I use simplenote all the time (web, their native app, and notational velocity on my mac desktop notational.net)

Couldn't agree more MT @JacquelynGill: @cgranade: Don't try to keep up with entire feed, you'll go crazy. Trust in redundancy as @doctorow
@recology_ I really wish sed and awk were part of R.
Nice Figure is a neat blog about nice figures that were recently published. nicefigure.org
@recology_ @carlystrasser That would be incredibly neat. Especially if it was in a git framework.
