@WrightingApril @recology_ Is it like road runner fast or does it still take several seconds to load? I’m a very impatient man.

@hadleywickham @ramnath_vaidya Only thing holding me back is people with older devtools.
install_github(“repo”, “user”) works for everyone.
@fonnesbeck what app is that?
@David_Dobbs looks amazing.
@LewisSpurgin congrats!
@JohnFBruno @ethanwhite @AbelValdivia fantastic!
@flodebarre @polesasunder @TimHVines @kj_gilbert perfect! Thank you.
@rmounce No I hadn’t heard of that. Would be awesome for big R1s (like the UC, Harvard) to follow suit.
@rmounce I’d love that so much. 2014 the beginning of the end for them?
@polesasunder @TimHVines @flodebarre @kj_gilbert So looking fwd to reading it. Sadly #paywall.
@everickert mind blown. I forgot what I was doing.
@olinhyde I’m not disputing that. I don’t think this signal is strong enough to detect in academia [from pub record] yet.

@tpoi @altmetric @PLOS I don’t fully buy it. Would love to see a geo breakdown. Are unis in richer locations more likely to use prop sw?
@JohnFBruno @ElDon78 @thePeerJ Ecosphere lacks all these things. Besides #oa it’s just the heavily dated allen press system.
@tpoi @altmetric @PLOS There is definitely some correlation there. People using FOSS are also less conservative academics.
@mwpennell possibly. Can you run a smaller job locally to make sure the update doesn’t break anything?

@DLabAtBerkeley @johnmyleswhite @fperez_org that was the plan today. I ran out of time. Had to head out to #AGU13
@johnmyleswhite @DLabAtBerkeley @fperez_org Let’s invite John up for a talk next year.
@DLabAtBerkeley I had to stand in the cheap seats!
@DLabAtBerkeley @johnmyleswhite I will introduce you guys!
@NinaDiPrimio @dbiello I miss my sci foo crew.
timoreilly one #caldatasci project is to use historical and genomic data to track impact of climate change on species ecoengine.berkeley.edu
@recology_ exactly. If you knew French.
@GSwithR @beckerhopper you should include @rOpenSci’s rfisheries package on that list.
github.com/ropensci/rfish…
@fluby you do! That’s why I had to turn it into pdf for the AGU computer.
@recology_ Cela aurait pu être mieux.

@profjsb @rdhyee @fperez_org @DLabAtBerkeley I’d vote for #caldatascience.
First is too long and the third is too general.
@hi_em ah. i thought you were presenting.
@hi_em Nice! How’s AGU so far? Not coming in till tomorrow.

@johnmyleswhite @davidjayharris I dont disagree that CRAN needs a lot of improvement. But sticking code in obscure repos will not solve this
@davidjayharris Also means fewer people will use your code and no one can include as a dependency if they choose to participate in CRAN.
@ucfagls @davidjayharris what Gavin said x 100. Brian may be abrasive at times but he means well.
