I'm currently working on learning r programming to use at work. Is there a good place whereI can ask for answers to the issues I'm running into that I cannot find by just searching online.
Agree on stack overflow. And part of learning how to program is trying to structure logic into thoughtful questions.
With R specifically I’d recommend looking into the tidyverse library for R. Or at least understand the libraries your work environment will be specifying to make sure you’re on the same page.

Not sure how to take this. Out of all people who handle my data at this point - Apple seems to be towards the top. Not the top - but above many who handle my data and above google specifically.
Merc had prince Harry. Would be shocked if they had multiple high profile guests. Just from a logistics - must be nightmare being concerned for multiple ones.
So long story short I’ve worked with proprietary software X for a long time, and specifically I do a lot of work investigating the SQL database for software X. Writing custom reports, making queries to find problems, the like....
As others have mentioned - I would second. A good website. Let them come to you. Give your solutions to common problems. Create a github. Provide repeatable examples on your GitHub and encourage contact for custom solutions.
This won’t be a multi million dollar business. At best you’ll give yourself some work to get your name out. Companies don’t talk to each other - but maybe your niche is different. This is really the only path I can see without attaching yourself to a larger entity.
Surely it will be. Even if there’s not official drivers - which I’m guessing will happen soon - the community will probably get it going quickly. It’s got to have a close enough interface to a standard ps controller I wouldn’t be shocked if it works out of the box.
Meh. I’ve ported a fair many py2 projects to 3. At this point just bite the bullet. Even from a security standpoint. Trying to not let my bias seep through - but it’s been so long.
They had Star Wars rides before they bought Lucasfilm.
The company was highly collaborative with Disney. Captain EO. Star tours. Star Wars seasons at Hollywood studios in the late 90s. Indiana jones stunt show. Etc
Love all the ideas. Was an avid subscriber on the platform I won’t name - and support them here.
One opinion though - and not a ride or die opinion - just a thought. What if you made tags to categorize certain options. #vintage for things that are old and outdated but may still be obtained.
So still allow it - just make sure it can be quantified and understood by readers/posters.
I’m not a fan of certain days - that just discourages participation - but tagging is a great option to allow posts at any time but allow others to filter.
Couple of tag ideas
vintage for older items
promotion for self promotion
diy for posts that encourage instructional material
This way you don’t push off posters and allow a gentle path to posting and categorizing that will help others later on to filter and search. If I ever went to a sub-thing and saw a rule to not post until x day - I just ignored it and moved on to other communities.
Fans have taken to the likes of X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok to question NetherRealm's decision to market Mortal Kombat 1 as a $70 Switch release. It has been called "robbery" and "disrespectful" to users.
Others have already replied with this info but I’m just spelling it out for anyone who is not familiar like me:
They fucking named the brand new game mk1. Is it a remaster? No. It’s not a remaster. Is it a recreation of mk1? No. It’s an alternate timeline game given the worst name in the history of naming things. It’s genuinely a brand new game.
Sometimes I wish I could have a job where companies just say “hey should we make this decision” and I tell them “that’s so fucking stupid no one will actually like that” and get paid well for it.
I know and have read comments on various different sites about how much fans hate these novels. I want to know if there’s anyone out there that actually likes them?...
I won’t help the conversation here but I really tried to give them a shot. I don’t know if it’s Brian Herbert or the second author that is bad - but it was just such bad writing. I even gave it another shot years after I finished the last Frank Herbert book in a second attempt. Got halfway through before just getting frustrated with it. Tried multiple books just to mark sure I wasn’t hiding one too harshly.
I wanted to. I wanted more Dune content. I may have even given it much more of a chance than I would with any other sci-fi series.
What is your use case? If it’s dev or data science work I can at least give my feedback. Early on kind of awful - competing packages , incompatibility between tools assuming arm and others that had to be emulated. I can go on if it helps - it’s much better now but the occasional pain point.
Really freaking great. I get awesome battery life on arm MacBook compared to an intell one I still need to use. I feel like it’s about double when I compare my workloads between the two. Wish I had something more scientific to offer - but for what I do - much longer battery life and a much much much cooler and quieter laptop. I had to use my i7 for something the other day and forgot how freaking noisy the thing was.
Anyone watching this at all? Made a post in some tv subreddit - but as far as I can tell there are no discussions and I really don’t want to switch back to Reddit to discuss one show....
That’s a shame - ep 4 is when it really kicked in for me. I think if it didn’t have forward momentum then I would have probably been more meh about it.
It did have a great setting, tone and actors. Even though I like it - still feels like there is some wasted opportunity to me.
So I’m convinced there is something up with William. Or at least it’s a misdirect.
I’m still happy it’s just not outright fantasy. No idea on the source material and how closely this follows. I would have expected more forward momentum in the first four episodes - but still great atmosphere and direction so far.
