As a software engineer raised on a traditional diet of C, Java, and Lisp, I’ve found myself downright baffled by R. I’m no stranger to mastering new programming languages, but learning R was something else: it felt like studying Finnish after a lifetime of speaking Romance languages. I’m not alone in this experience. There are piles of discussions online revealing the difficulty of using R, with some users becoming so enraged as to claim that R is “not actually a programming language”. My strug

On the second day of a pivotal vaccine meeting that was at times heated, confusing, and chaotic, a group of federal advisers chosen by Health and Human Services secretary and longtime anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. voted against requiring a prescription to receive a Covid-19 vaccination. The vote took place after hours of discussion, in which several advisers sowed doubts about the Covid-19 vaccines and went on tangents about their safety and efficacy—both of which have been well-e

Microsoft raises Xbox prices in U.S. due to economic environment

cnbc.com Kif Leswing 2025-09-21 01:37:08

Microsoft said on Friday that it will increase the recommended retail price of several Xbox consoles in the U.S. starting in October because of "changes in the macroeconomic environment." The company said it would not increase prices for accessories such as controllers and headsets, and that prices in other countries would stay the same. While Microsoft didn't explicitly attribute the increase to the Trump administration's tariffs, many consumer companies have been warning for months that high

Between around 1910 and 1950, England was in the grip of a genteel crime wave; a seemingly endless output of murder mysteries, generally set among the upper and upper middle classes and usually solved by a brilliant amateur detective rather than by the police. They were read enthusiastically and with an insatiable appetite by British middle-class readers. The ‘golden age’ of the English detective story during this span of 40 years or so is an important and often overlooked feature of English pop
