why is R so comfy /g/ ?
it's not. it's awful. even R advocates agree that it's full of warts.
A language tends to be "comfy" if you have too little experience or basically no perspective on the subject. It takes a lot of time and exposure to lots of languages before you realize that being a zealot about any single language is ass-headed nonsense.
Because data science is a hipster field, and things need be made retard-proof for hipster usage (see also: python, ruby).
R's only redeeming quality is a huge community of mathematicians contributing to libraries. That doesn't make a language comfy. That makes it a begrudging necessity.
It's grossly inefficient and syntactically bizarre compared to the other languages a scientist is likely to use (Python, Java, etc...) so it's also frustrating to teach people because it's paradigmatically inconsistent with other languages.
You'll never see more cargo cult programming than in the *broader* R community, which itself is enormous because almost everyone who uses R is a reluctant user (using it to do basic statistical tests, make visualizations, etc... for paper submissions, but little if anything more).
What does /g/ rhink of the NVIDIA Shield K1. Thinking about getting one but heard some mixed reviews about it.

What is a professional looking email address?

I'm building my first pc and I think I have a good build but I want some other people's opinions first since it's my first time
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/estafano/saved/pxPPxr
this is the build I hope to get but if I have to budget a little and can't spend as much I'll be going down a little and getting this build instead
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/estafano/saved/xqWgXL
also if anyone can suggest parts I can switch out to save money
I'm also a poor feg so that's why I'd like to save as much as I can but I've been saving up and I have around 1.1k for this build but the less I spend the better
this build is supposed to be for gaming
so if I can have a build that can run something like the division at 60fps max settings

Get an Intel cpu and get a 960 instead of a 970. Upgrade the GPU next generation later this year/next year. Probably a PSU that isn't EVGA either. I hear mixed things about their PSUs.

Is it possible for an ISP to completely block all torrent traffic? My family got in trouble because my idiot brother kept torrenting shit without even using a proxy (Which I always use), and ever since then I haven't been able to torrent anything, even with the proxies that I use.
Yes it's possible.
The only way you can escape is with a VPN.
Good luck

I've never used a VPN before, but I am familiar with the concept. Does /g/ have any recommendations.

Where do you even see this message? I've never seen or heard of this yet.
>>53477810
Supposedly its on the lockscreen. My >gf had this on her xps13, but I've never seen it. Maybe because I did the "debotnet" guide thing that was floating around here when win10 launched.

>tfw when you give your friend $1,500.00 to build you a gaming PC while you're on vacation and it's got a Phenom II and a GTX 480 in it.
>>53477179
>giving your friend money instead of building one for him
>>53477179
tfw you give your friend $900 because he brags he can get you a gaming laptop that can max out gta v for less than $1000(Australian) and he brings a Lenovo ideapad 100s.
>>53477179
Well, it can play games...
