As a newbie to R I wanted to look at the source code of some of the libraries/packages that Id installed via R Studio which I initially struggled to do as I wasnt sure where the packages had been installed.
I eventually came across a StackOverflow post which described the .libPaths function which tells us where that is:

I have talked about human filters and my plan for digital curation. These items are the fruits of those ideas, the items I deemed worthy from my daily reading. These items are a combination of tech business news, development news and programming tools and techniques. You will note that some of the formatting has changed, and that is due to the change in my process.

I’ve been part of a discussion on Twitter about the vices of imposed Agile adoptions versus the virtues of the approach put forth by Daniel Mezick, OpenAgile Adoption. Regardless of the arguments for or against each approach, creating this dichotomy misses the point.

HTC CEO Peter Chou was in Tokyo today to unveil the companys latest flagship smartphone for Japan, the new J Butterfly (HTL23) on KDDI. The phone has much in common with the excellent HTC One (M8) released in the rest of the world earlier this year: it features a 5-inch 1080p display, twin front-facing BoomSound speakers, a second camera lens to allow for Lytro-style refocusing after taking the shot (though the main sensor is 13 megapixels rather than the M8s four-ultrapixel unit), and so…
DataGravity, a flash storage startup with a data-driven twist, wants to change the way we interact with storage and give companies a more intelligent way to deal with storage information. Most companies today have their storage, search and governance in separate and disparate applications. The search tool has to crawl the storage. The governance tool has to monitor for issues such as credit… Read More
Microsoft is launching a dedicated Reddit app on Xbox One. ReddX, which allows Xbox One owners to browse the hyper-popular social network, submit their own links, and up and downvote content from the console, will be available on the system in North America from the 19th of August. Other apps, such as Reeddit, exist to make browsing Reddit easier with a controller, but Xbox’s Larry Hyrb says ReddX is the first app ever built exclusively for a console.
Topics on the site’s front page appear on the left hand side of the ReddX app, while images, YouTube videos, and GIFs will automatically load on the right. Users can zoom in on pictures, skip through videos, and apparently using some kind of witchcraft fast-forward, rewind, or pause…
For the last several years, Roku has sold a series of devices that you connect to your TV to stream a wide range of content from thousands of different apps.

Like Voltron, robots will soon need to coordinate landings and docking with absolutely precision in difficult conditions. That’s what a group of researchers have solved by allowing a robot and a movable landing platform to communicate in order to coordinate a perfect landing. As you can see, the quadcopter and a tank-like platform both converge on a pre-set location and both robots… Read More
A micronation is an entity that claims to be, but is not recognized as, a sovereign state. Douglas Leguin has them beat: after shooting at firefighters dousing a dumpster fire and being cornered by cops, he disclosed that he is, in fact, a sovereign state too.
This video shows Weta Workshop’s huge glowering Smaug head being assembled at San Diego Comic-Con; the video after the jump, taken by Heather Beschizza, shows it fully-englowered.

David Gelles wrote in the New York Times this weekend about how large tech corporations have been conducting more M&A deals with less input from traditional investment banks. Because of my company’s insight into buy and sell-side M&A interest, I wanted to provide some additional insight into how we see the M&A world changing. Read More

A cure for patchy baldness may be on the way, according to a new study published Sunday in the journal Nature Medicine.
Google has been rumored to launch a YouTube-branded subscription music service for months now, and we’re getting a big look at what it might entail when it finally launches. Android Police is reporting that the service will be called YouTube Music Key, which will offer ad-free playback, the ability to save songs and videos for offline listening, and an audio-only interface for when you’re multitasking or want to have music on in the background, all for $9.99 per month.
It sounds like basically every other streaming music service out there, including Google’s already-established Google Play All Access service but at the same time as YouTube Music Key launches, Google is expected to rebrand its current offering to Google Play Music Key….
I’ve been collecting Supreme for two years. What first got me is that red box logo it’s bright, striking, and the typeface is iconic. The clothing is expensive, limited, and designed with patterns and materials you simply can’t get anywhere else. There’s just one store in NYC, LA, and London, and six in Japan. Most of the pieces I attempt to buy online each week sell out before I can finish entering my…
