This is really big (if it works!)—a big limitation for the use of R in simulation up to this point has been memory bloat. I’ve had to turn off parallel processing/reduce the number of workers many times in my {targets} workflows due to OOM errors. Hopefully this will solve that problem

Everything else, however, does seem to be getting worse.
Lots of "commentators" are rewarded for spreading lies and convincing you that everything is getting worse and you should be afraid. The good news is it's not: homicides at their lowest level in 50 years and killings involving a knife are at their lowest recorded level

The number of NIH competitive awards is down 50% from 2025, and down ~70% from prior years. Even if they catch up by the end of the year, only wealthy institutions can bridge these huge funding gaps.They're killing science-and violating the constitution-by weaponizing the bureaucracy

But over recent days it’s more like June. Max of +7*C, T shirt weather, and rivers starting to flow, snowmobiles stranded.
In my student days +7*C would be a hot July day.
