Re: [R] (no subject)

2022-05-05 Thread Avi Gross via R-help
I get suspicious about patterns. A similar request from a gmail account with 
another username was made just a day ago on a Python mailing list asking about 
learning that language. That user has not responded so far to anything people 
replied. 
Hopefully this is not yet another person getting their jollies by having others 
waste their time.
I now refuse to answer overly general requests that tell us nothing about the 
background of the person and are not really about more specific aspects of the 
language. As noted, there are plenty of free resources on the Internet in text 
form and even classes as well as free library books if you live in an area  
that has them and of course books and classes you can pay for. But what works 
for a person with zero programming experience is not what someone who knows 
multiple languages already needs and so on. 
I apologize if I am wrong and see patterns where there may be none. But unless 
a new semester is starting somewhere, why would we get such requests in early 
May?
I also note the request is not limited to R but programming in general. I don't 
volunteer.

Sigh. You _do_ have a source... the Internet.

But to get off the dime, try https://rstudio-education.github.io/hopr. Once you 
have some familiarity with basic programming concepts in R, do read the manuals 
that come with R when you install it... and for contributed packages, vignettes 
are particularly useful.

Muchas gracias, carlos!
Claro, de esa forma queda en formato de fecha lubridate, pero necesito que
quede en formato de fecha pero que se vea "ene-22" en vez de "2022-01-01".
Gracias!

Re: [R] [External] Re: Is there a canonical way to pronounce CRAN?

2022-05-05 Thread Barry Rowlingson
If the founders had called it the Big R Archive Network we wouldn't be
having this discussion but we'd all be getting our packages from BRAN.

Or how about "Big R Internet Archive Network" Or would that be
confusing...
