Rlang ☛ Did you Know How to Use prop.table function in R | Proportional Analysis
How can understanding proportions transform the way you interpret data? If you're doing data analysis with R and need to break down complex frequency tables into insightful proportions, learn how to use the prop.table() function in R is the key to unlocking a new level of data understanding. -
Rlang ☛ Comparison of spatial patterns in continuous raster data for arbitrary regions using R
Methods for comparing spatial patterns in raster data
This is the third part of a blog post series on comparing spatial patterns in raster data. More information about the whole series can be found in part one.
This blog post focuses on the comparison of spatial patterns in continuous raster data for arbitrary regions. Thus, the shown methods require two continuous rasters, which may have different extents, resolutions, etc. The outcome of such comparisons is, most often, a single value, which indicates the difference/similarity between the spatial patterns of the two rasters.

Circle-Lang ☛ Why Safety Profiles Failed
Safety Profiles were introduced in 2015 with the promise to detect all lifetime safety defects in existing C++ code. It was a bold claim. But after a decade of effort, Profiles failed to produce a specification, reliable implementation or any tangible benefit for C++ safety. The cause of this failure involves a number of mistaken premises at the core of its design: [...]

Rlang ☛ Polyglot Maxxie and Minnie
Continuing my theme of learning all the languages, I took the opportunity of a
programming puzzle to try out the same approach in a handful of different
languages to compare how they work.
